Bread, OK. Got it.
XENA

Hmmmm.....now you take the peanut butter.
GABRIELLE
Peanut butter? Pea nut? Pignoli nuts? Peas? Chickpeas?
XENA
Yeah yeah chickpeas will do. Take the tahini sauce.
GABRIELLE
(holds up bowl of tahini sauce with curious look)
This?
XENA
Now spread it on the bread.
Push it inside.
Yeah thats good.
Now take some grapes and smash them all up.
GABRIELLE

Xena, did you get your cycle this month?
XENA
What? Yes! Just do what I say.
We're almost done now.
GABRIELLE
Well last week you wanted seaweed rolls so...it's an obvious question. Now what?
XENA
It's a foreign delicacy!
OK, now take the mushed up grapes and shove them in.

XENA
