-setting-
[a well decorated, yet non-descript living room]

"Not tonight, dear, I'm too complex" lover A says with resignation.

[a pause, then off frame the sound of footsteps, the opening and shutting of a refrigerator, followed by the clinking of glass]

"But, darling, that's what alcohol is for" lover B says hopefully while waving a chilled bottle of champagne (or better yet a fine Californian sparkling wine) with one hand and clutching two champagne flutes in the other.

-end scene-

(and I even made it gender neutral, insert pronouns in any combination of your choice and complete scene however you choose)
