Virginia's Favorite Superhero Is Elektra

INT. HOUSE - VIRGINIA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

VIRGINIA (3 years old) is being tucked into bed by ALI

VIRGINIA
Why didn't daddy choose me when he was finding a wife?
(considers the matter)
Oh, I wasn't a grown-up lady when you were a grown-up lady.

ALI
...

(after a beat; out of nowhere)
VIRGINIA
Daddy's better than you.

CUT TO:
INT. MINIVAN - DAY

VIRGINIA (to ALI, unrelated to any conversation at hand)
When you die, daddy and I will live happily ever after.

ALI
(laughing)

LEAH and RUBY (in unison)
What did she say?

ALI
Oh, nothing.

VIRGINIA
Tell them!
