Lorraine: Hi, this is a surprise. To what
do I owe this pleasure?
Terrance: Can’t I just drop in on my
little sister unannounced to see how
she is? I was just in this neck of the
woods and thought I would pay you
a visit.
Lorraine: Sure you were. Of course, I’m glad
to see you, but this is just a little out of
the blue.
Terrance: What do you mean?
Lorraine: I haven’t seen you in over five
months, and you just happened to
be in the neighborhood?
Terrance: Well, I wasn’t exactly in the
neighborhood, but I wanted to see my favorite
sister.
Lorraine: Your only sister. Okay, out with
it. What are you doing here?
Terrance: Uh, well, I was thinking of taking a
year off from school to pursue my
art. I really feel I need to devote
some time to my painting to see if I can
make it as an artist.
Lorraine: Mom and Dad are not going to like
that.
Terrance: I know and that’s where you
come in.
Lorraine: You want me to run
interference for you with Mom and Dad.
Terrance: Yeah, they would take it a
lot better coming from you, don’t you think?
Lorraine: No, I don’t.
Terrance: You’ve always been the responsible
one...I’m just saying...
Lorraine: And I’m just saying that I’m not
going to do your dirty work for you!
