Julie: Well, you’ve got to play his game. When in Rome do as the Romans would like to do. But I’m through with books. I’m all educated.
Lois: You’re very inconsistent—last summer you read every day.
Julie: If I were consistent I’d still be living on warm milk out of a bottle.
Lois: Yes, and probably my bottle. But I like Mr. Calkins.
Julie: I never met him.
Lois: Well, will you hurry up?
Julie: Yes. (After a pause) I wait till the water gets tepid and then I let in more hot.
Lois: (Sarcastically) How interesting!
Julie: ’Member when we used to play “soapo”?
Lois: Yes—and ten years old. I’m really quite surprised that you don’t play it still.
