This is the process i went through...

INT. CAR. EVENING.

 MUM (ANGRILY)
I don't know why you had to wait so long, i waited half an hour!

 NAOMI (SIGHING)
They didn't have my size on the shelf, and the woman took ages searching in the stockroom.

MUM (RETORTED)
We wouldn't have got stuck in all this traffic if you’d just made your mind up quicker.  We won’t be eating tea until late at this rate. Today of all days.

 MUM (ANNOYED)
What’s wrong with the mobile phone I spent a fortune on?  You could have called me.  I wouldn’t have rushed away from work to get there if you’d called.

NAOMI (ANSWERING BACK)
I forgot to charge it, the battery’s dead.

MUM (FURIOUS)
More like you wasted it playing stupid games

NAOMI (QUIET)
Sorry.


EXT.   DRIVEWAY.   EVENING.

MUM (FUMING)
Oh that's just brilliant.

MUM (ANNOYED)
No lights on.  It must be a power cut.  How am I going to cook with no electricity?

INT.   HOUSE.  EVENING.

NAOMI (SUGGESTING)
Maybe we can have a sandwich?  I’ll make it if you like.


MUM (QUICKLY)
Sshhh.

MUM (SHARPLY)
Did you hear that?

NAOMI (CURIOUSLY)
What?

MUM (WHISPERED)
Stop it, you’re freaking me out.  You know I’ve always thought this house is haunted. I’m sure I heard something in the living room.

MUM (SCARED) 
Pass me that brolly, I’m going to have a look.

DAD,NAOMI'S BROTHER PAUL AND A GROUP OF FRIENDS (HAPPY)
Surprise!

NAOMI (SHOUTED)
Happy birthday mum!

NAOMI (JOYFULLY)
Sorry about the trick, but I had to keep you out of the house ‘til everyone got here!
