action
Three people are in the car on their way home, a father with his son and the father's sister. While driving, the son peeled an orange in the passenger seat and threw the peel out of the side window. After the father had asked him several times not to throw the bowls out of the window, he stopped and sent the boy back down the relatively busy road to pick up the bowls. The boy does it reluctantly and stays away for a while. During this time, the siblings abuse each other in the car because the delay means that they missed their favorite series. Eventually the father follows his son and finds him with the bowls he has picked up. When they get back to the car, the nurse peeled an orange and drops the peels on the shoulder next to the car. Now father and son are screaming at the sister. In the end, everyone falls silent: the sister in the passenger seat, the father sitting on the rear bumper, the boy hopping on the roof of the car.
