Jerry: Want to help me wash my car?

Helen: I guess so.

Jerry: Good. Squirt a little of this cleaning fluid into this bucket.

Helen: Okay, done.

Jerry: Then pour a capful of this into the bucket and mix. After that, dribble three drops of this special liquid into it and stir until you get a nice layer of foam on the surface.

Helen: Okay, but I usually just use soap and water.

Jerry: That might be fine for your car, but for my baby, it’s nothing but the best. Stop!

Helen: Why? I was just going to use this hose to spray water onto the car to get it wet.

Jerry: You can’t just splash water on the paint. You have to let it flow gently down from the roof of the car in a cascade.

Helen: You know what? I think this is getting a little weird. I think I’ll leave you and your baby alone.
