The premise
Here’s the bit.
Over coffee with Nina and Graham, two parents admit that they confiscated their son Dennis’s marijuana and then smoked it. Graham readily joins in, while Nina worries about what responsible adults should do and needs considerable coaxing. After a reluctant puff, she becomes suspicious of an offer of tea, worries about her own conversation and hears music nobody else can hear.
Dennis returns and asks his father for the marijuana back. His father postpones the request with an improvised explanation about testing it for contamination. Nina seizes on that idea, fears her hair is falling out and flees. Graham calmly phones the police about where he expects her to end up, then tries to add a pizza to the call.
