The tale of Sleeping Beauty: act 1

Setting: Early morning before dawn the alarm clock rings out loudly as a second alarm from a smart phone rings also. Sleepy Andy and Peggy both reach out to turn off the alarms.
and... scene.

Andy: UGHH!!
Peggy: Here we go again.
(Peggy gets out of bed and takes a shower, meanwhile Andy turns over and falls asleep.)
Peggy: (singing)What's up pussy cat, whoa, whoa, whoa, whawhoa...
(Peggy get's out of the shower and enters the bedroom to find Andy snoring.)
Peggy: Andy you need to get up. You're gonna make us late. It's already 5:45.
Andy: zzzz
Peggy: Dear I've been thinking about buying a boat. I feel that we need something for us as a family to do something that we enjoyed when we were younger. It might be the thing to help motivate you to get in shape.(quietly under her breath she says)that way the boat doesn't have to be a cruise liner to get your butt out of the water.
Andy: Wahd ya saying?
Peggy: Hurry get into the shower!
(After a quick shower and getting dressed, Andy and Peggy are off to Salt Lake to Huntsman. In the car listening to radio Peggy looks over at Andy who is fast asleep)
(Peggy has an idea to subconsciously plant the idea about the boat to Andy while he sleeps. She gets the ideas from one of her psychology classes she took during summer semester.)
Peggy: So...remember when we were first married and we went boating every morning and evening. That was great. Us and our friends, we were crazy. So...the boat thing would be fun. I would like an inboard type. We don't have to water ski the first year, just putt around the dams and teach the kids water safety.
Andy: Hmmm.
(Later after radiation treatments and on the way home from Salt Lake Andy is again sleeping and Peggy continues with the boat strategy.)
Peggy: Can you imagine how cool our kids would be with their friends if we had a boat. We could invite them to a weekend thing with us, maybe borrow one of our parents trailers and camp at Willard Bay then boat around all day. That would be fun.
Andy: zzzz...Hmmm...
(Finally at home. Andy and Peggy pull into the drive and Andy wakes up.)
Peggy: Well one more treatment down. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.
Andy:(yawning) Yeah... (walking into the house Andy stops and turns to Peggy) I had the craziest dreams today.
Peggy: You did?
Andy: Yeah... I think we need to buy a boat.
(Andy walks into the house. Peggy giggles.)
