Girl. "Certainly, but I can think of other things too, can't I?"
Man. "That depends on the 'other things.' What are they?"
Girl. (Calmly.) "I was just thinking that you are an extremely handsome man, but of course you know that."
Man. (Crimsoning to his temples.) "You flatter me!" (Resumes reading.)
Girl. (Awaits developments.)
Man. (After a little.) "I didn't know you thought I was good-looking."
Girl. (Demurely.) "Didn't you?"
Man. (Clears his throat and continues the story.)
Man. (After a few minutes.) "Did you ever hear anybody else say that?"
