Vagner: Aren’t you supposed to be studying
for the driver’s test?
Liesl: I’m supposed to be, but I keep getting
distracted. Reading this
manual is deadly.
Vagner: I know, but if you don’t study, you’ll
never pass the test. Try to focus.
Liesl: I’ve tried to keep my mind on the
rules of the road, but I’m having trouble
concentrating. My mind keeps
wandering and I’m almost ready to
throw in the towel for today.
Vagner: No, you can’t do that. You have
to buckle down and learn what’s in
this manual. I’m here to crack the
whip.
Liesl: What’s in it for you? What do
you care if I pass the driver’s test or not?
Vagner: You can ask me that? I’ve been
chauffeuring you around since I got
my driver’s license and I don’t plan on doing it
for one second more than I have to.
Liesl: All right, all right, I’ll study, but not
because you’re telling me to.
Vagner: Oh, yeah? Then why?
Liesl: I want to see the look on your
face the first time Dad gives me the car keys
instead of you!
