A young married couple are sitting on a couch, possibly watching television. SHARON has her legs tucked up onto the couch as much as is possible, as she is 5 months pregnant. GENE is idly doing something with a razor blade to his fingertips.
GENE: I guess I should probably put this razor away.
SHARON: What?
GENE: I said I guess I should put this razor away before I, you know...
SHARON: Before you what?
GENE: Do something, or uh, have something...
SHARON: Before you have an accident, you mean?
GENE: No...it's just that, you know, when I'm holding it, it's like they say.
SHARON: Who says? What?
GENE: "When you have a razor, the whole world looks like a..."
SHARON: Looks like a what?
GENE: ...
GENE: I wasn't going to say "throat."
SHARON: Right.
GENE: I wasn't.
SHARON: Just go put it away.
Smart woman, that Sharon.
