OPENS TO HUSBAND AND WIFE SITTING AT KITCHEN

Jack: Ann, look at these Christmas cards I bought.

Ann: (Ann looks at cards suspiciously) Jack, these have two black hands praying, and a Kwanza border.

Jack: I know, I thought it would be funny to send this out to our friends as our Christmas cards.

Ann: I guess, that's okay, but what about Trevor and Alexa... they're black.

Jack: Oh right... I guess that's okay, they can take a joke.

CUTS TO AN APARTMENT WITH THE SUPER: TWO DAYS LATER. WIFE IS SITTING IN LIVING ROOM.

Alexa: Honey, did you get the mail?

Trevor: (Walks in room) Yeah, I just got it. Look, a card from Jack and Ann. (Trevor opens letter.)

Trevor: It's a Christmas card.

Alexa: WHAT!

Trevor: It's got praying hands and a bible verse! I am very offended.

Alexa: We should be! Why don't you give them a call.

TREVOR DIALS PHONE, SHOT GOES SPLIT SCREEN BETWEEN ANN AND TREVOR.

Ann: Hello.

Trevor: Yeah, Ann I just got your Christmas card, and let me say, I am deeply offended.

Ann: Was it the black praying hands?

Trevor: No.

Ann: (Sounding Confused) well... then what was it?

Trevor: I don't celebrate Christmas, I'm Jewish!

Ann: What!

Trevor: How could you not know, my name is Trevor Goldberg!

Ann: I thought it was Goldberg like Whoopi!

Trevor: No, and I'm also offended you would compare me to Whoopi Goldberg!

Ann: I'm sorry, my husband bought them as a joke.

Trevor: What kind of sick people are you!?

Jack: Hey honey, who are you talking on the phone with?

Ann: (Covering Receiver) Trevor and Alexa, did you know they were Jewish?

Jack: I thought they were like Whoopi!

Ann: No!

Trevor: Hello, are you there.

Ann: Oh, Trevor, I'm sorry for this misunderstanding.

Trevor: You should be, my people have been through so much.

Ann: Oh yes, slavery was terrible.

Trevor: No! The Jews! We had the holocaust!

Ann: That was awful too! I'm so sorry, let me invite you too our Chris-err Holiday Party.

Trevor: I suppose that would be okay.

Ann: Alright, it's settled, see you then.

Jack: Wow, I would have never believed they were Jewish.

Ann: I know me too!

Jack: Hey, we forgot to send a card to our friend Mohammed.

Ann: I think he'll understand if we don't

Jack: Yeah you're right!
