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.
