answer:[INT. DAVID AND KATHERINE'S KITCHEN - MORNING] *The morning light filters through the window, casting a warm glow over the kitchen. DAVID is at the counter making coffee. KATHERINE is perusing a shopping list, planning her day. She turns to David, a hint of playfulness and curiosity in her eyes as she recalls the effects of Christine's hypnotic suggestion.* KATHERINE (peer over the shopping list) David, before I head out, could you take care of a few things? The living room needs a bit of tidying, and the plants could use some water. *She watches David closely for his reaction, her anticipation palpable.* DAVID (stopping mid-action, turning toward Katherine) Yes, Katherine. *Katherine's features light up with a mixture of surprise and satisfaction as David repeats the conditioned phrase, his tone automatic and compliant.* KATHERINE (hidden excitement) Would you also mind doing the laundry and making sure the kitchen is spick-and-span after your breakfast? DAVID (nodding, almost mechanical) Yes, Katherine. *She is delighted by the smoothness of David's response, the influence of Christine's programming evidently strong. A mischievous glint appears in her eyes.* KATHERINE (smiling, pushing just a little further) Oh, and if you find time, could you prep for dinner? There's a recipe I left on the fridge. DAVID (pouring his coffee, undisturbed) Yes, Katherine. *Katherine, now giddy with the authority Christine's hypnotic suggestions have granted her, struggles to maintain her composure as she leaves the kitchen. David, unaware of the inner workings driving him, continues his morning routine placidly.* KATHERINE (voice bright with a hint of intrigue) Great, be back soon. Love you! DAVID (turning with a smile) Love you too, Katherine. *As Katherine leaves the house, she's already looking forward to exploring the new dynamic unfolding in their relationship, her mind racing with possibilities of what this could mean for them both.* [FADE OUT]

answer:[INT. DAVID AND KATHERINE'S KITCHEN - LATER THAT MORNING] *DAVID is dutifully cleaning the countertops with a sense of focus. The kitchen is filling with the pleasant aroma of cleaning products and the subtle fragrance of freshly watered plants. Suddenly, the serene atmosphere is interrupted by the sound of David's phone buzzing on the table.* *David glances over to the source of the disturbance, wiping his hands on a dishtowel before answering.* DAVID (picking up the phone) Hello? [INTERCUT PHONE CONVERSATION] FRIEND'S VOICE (O.S.) Hey Dave! It's Mike. You up for golf this afternoon? *David hesitates for a moment, his commitment to Katherine's tasks wrestling with the offer.* DAVID While I'd love to, Mike, I've got a list of chores here that Katherine asked me to finish before she gets back. Can I take a rain check? MIKE (O.S.) (confused) Who are you, and what have you done with the real Dave? *David chuckles softly, yet there's something unquestionably different in his demeanor.* DAVID (smiling) I know, I know. Just trying to make sure everything's perfect at home, you know? MIKE (O.S.) (lighthearted teasing) Alright, Mr. Perfect. Another time then. Catch you later! DAVID Yeah, talk to you soon, Mike. Take care. *David hangs up the phone, looking at it for a moment as if trying to interpret his own compliance before shrugging it off and resuming his cleaning with a resumed sense of duty. The sunlight streams through the window, casting a warm aura as he moves on to the next task, content in the rhythm of his work.* [FADE OUT]

answer:[INT. DAVID AND KATHERINE'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON] *Katherine steps through the front door, her arms laden with shopping bags. Her gaze sweeps across the living room; it's spotless and welcoming. The plants are perky from their watering, and there's a pervasive sense of order. She sets the bags down and ventures further inside.* *She finds David in the kitchen, the space absolutely gleaming from his meticulous cleaning. Hearing the door, David turns with the look of someone pleased with their handiwork.* DAVID (proud and eager) Hey, Katherine! I finished up all the tasks you asked for. The place looks great, doesn't it? KATHERINE (bursting into good-natured laughter) Oh, my gosh, David! It's spotless in here! I mean, it's amazing, but... *Her laughter continues as she steps closer to him, observing a faint trace of bewilderment in his eyes. He seems both aware and unaware of the influence that's causing his newfound eagerness for housework.* KATHERINE (amused, playful) ...you even scrubbed the kitchen faucet with a toothbrush, didn't you? Whose good idea was that? I must’ve missed that on the list. DAVID (a bit confused but going along) Hah! I... might have gotten a little carried away. But if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right! KATHERINE (teasing) Well, I certainly can't argue with the results. I might have to send you a little 'thank you' text next time I'm out – seems to get you motivated! *David gives a small chuckle, a bit perplexed by his energetic commitment to the chores yet taking pleasure in her approval.* DAVID (chuckling) Yeah, guess I was just in the zone today. *Katherine wraps her arms around him, planting a grateful kiss on his cheek.* KATHERINE (appreciative) Seriously, though, thank you. I can't tell you how happy this makes me feel. Look at us, we're like the dream team now. *David beams at her, enjoying the closeness and praise, still not fully grasping the depth of the situation. But for Katherine, seeing the sweet submission and eagerness to please, there is an undeniable allure in the newfound dynamic brought on by Christine's influence.* [FADE OUT]

answer:[INT. DAVID'S WORKPLACE - DAY] *David sits at his desk surrounded by the hum of office work: keyboards clacking, phones ringing, and the occasional murmur of conversation. He's focused on his computer screen, typing intently. His mobile phone vibrates on the desk, illuminating to show Christine's name on the caller ID.* *With a slight furrow in his brow, recognizing the name that now triggers a subtle undercurrent of compliance, David answers the call.* DAVID (picking up the phone) Hello, Christine. What can I do for you? CHRISTINE (V.O.) (her voice soft but commanding) David, how are you doing? I was calling to check in. And to remind you of the wonderful state of relaxation you can achieve... *David's posture subtly changes, his body language becomes more relaxed as the familiar voice seeps through the phone.* DAVID (a tinge of tranquility in his voice) I'm doing well, thank you. Everything okay? CHRISTINE (V.O.) (confirming) Yes, absolutely. Just making sure you haven't forgotten the good feelings from our last session. You remember that, right? DAVID (slowly) Yes, vividly. CHRISTINE (V.O.) (pleased) I'm glad to hear that. Remember, whenever you think of our sessions, you can always feel that sense of calm and submission no matter where you are or what you're doing. DAVID (a touch entranced) Yes, Christine. That sounds... good. *As David converses, a colleague passing by gives him a curious look, probably due to the odd, serene smile that has crossed David's face during the conversation.* CHRISTINE (V.O.) (just a little authoritative) Keep up the excellent work, David. And don't forget—always happy to serve Katherine as well. DAVID (with automatic obedience) Yes, Christine. *Christine ends the call, and David is left temporarily disoriented, looking around to reacquaint himself with the reality of his office surroundings. He shakes off the mild trance, a residual feeling of calm washing over him as he gets back to his work.* *His colleague chuckles and shakes his head, maybe thinking David is just smitten or particularly dedicated to his wife and her friends. David, unsure of what to make of this new version of himself, can't help but acknowledge a strange, peaceful satisfaction within.* [FADE OUT]
