Scripts refer to the expectations and behaviors associated with social situations. In this scenario, Shannon and Sayid have different scripts for gender roles in a coffee date. Sayid may have been raised to believe that it is polite to hold the door, pull out the chair, and pay for the check. Shannon, on the other hand, may feel that these behaviors are outdated and she wants to be treated as an equal. Thus, they have conflicting scripts or expectations for the situation.
