Scene from a Marriage

Scene: Jon and Jenn walking to their car after leaving the home of friends.  Jon is walking in front of Jenn holding the two icy root beers she asked him to carry so that her hands wouldn't freeze and fall off while Jenn follows, toting the diaper bag and baby in car seat.

Jon: (Car passes) Wow, people are going to think I'm a schmuck.
Jenn: Why's that?  Because it looks like you're making your wife carry all of the heavy things?
Jon: (Drinking one of the root beers): While I drink soda in front of you.
Jenn: Not just that, you're holding TWO sodas.  They'll think, 'who does that guy think he is?!  with his two root beers.'
