David Merlin:
[Reads from a book on raising children, telling Polly how to feed the baby]
After the food is prepared, the mother will, A, get a spoon.
Polly:
Wonderful! How'd he ever think of that?
David Merlin:
Now please, don't be so smart. Just do as he says - get a spoon.
Polly:

David Merlin:

Polly:

David Merlin:

David Merlin:

Polly:

David Merlin:

Gently rub it into the navel.
Polly:
Well, that's ridiculous.
David Merlin:

Polly:

And in the future, all children are going to be brought up like this - successfully.
Polly:
Hmmm, let me look at this.
[She takes the book from David]

David Merlin:
Oh, I read very well. I've been doing it for years.
Polly:
I read a little too.
[She discovers two pages were stuck together]

Polly:
