3. INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT (DAY 2)

The family (Steven's hands are tied with a rope) and the two soldiers (without Soldier #3) are sitting at the table. Soldier #2 has some new clothes on - a white shirt and black trousers. Everyone has a plate in front of them with a little bit of scrambled eggs and little pieces of onion. We can see two lines ticked off on the table. The soldiers start eating, but Steven folds his tied hands and starts praying:

SOLDIER #2
I took some clothes from your wardrobe... thank you my friend!
(he pats Steven on the shoulder)

STEVEN
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by the name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be...

SOLDIER #2
Bullshit. God didn't give you the food, we fucking did!

He slaps Steven in the face.

SOLDIER #2 (CONT'D)
Now fucking eat. In silence.

They all start eating. It is a very uncomfortable situation. Soldier #2 puts some of the eggs on his fork and just before he puts it into his mouth it falls back onto the plate.

/ BEAT/ 

Everyone has to hold their laughter.

SOLDIER #1
You have to admit. It was very funny!

SOLDIER #2 
Yes. Very fucking funny. HA, Ha.

They continue eating in silence.
