Walter Eckland:
[Jenny, who won't talk, has just given him a bottle of liquor. She doesn't reply when he says "Thank you." He holds up a whistle]
See this whistle?
[Jenny nods "yes"]
Walter Eckland:
Would you like to have it?
[She nods "yes" again]
Walter Eckland:
OK. Now, all you have to do is repeat three simple words after me. Is that a deal?
[She nods "yes"]
Walter Eckland:
Just repeat three words. Alright. Elephant.
Jenny:
[Looks from Eckland to the whistle and back. Seems to consider for a moment]
Elephant.
Walter Eckland:
[He smiles, slightly]
Rhinoceros.
Jenny:
[More quickly this time]
Rhinoceros.
Walter Eckland:
Wrong.
Jenny:
Why?
Walter Eckland:
No, not "why," "wrong." Wrong is the third word. You lose.
