RADIO MIRROR (Too sweet). Come in here with Daddy. Snooks: Huh? Father: There's something I'd like to ask you. Snooks: I didn't set fire to Uncle Louie's curtains! Father: I didn't say anything about Uncle Louie's curtains. Snooks: Ohhh . . . Did Uncle Louie say anything? Father: We'll get to that in a minute, Snooks. Come sit near Daddy, darling. I don't wanna. Why not? Because you're too nice! Well, Snooks — I'm quite had a wonderful time in Snooks: Father: Snooks: Father: sure you New York, didn't you? Snooks: Did I?

Father: (Controlling himself) One, two, three, four — Snooks: What you doing, daddy? Father: Nothing. Now Snooks — I want to talk about your trip to New York. Snooks: Now . . .

(Continued from page 19) Snooks: I have to go upstairs and do my homework. Father: Your homework will wait. Now, according to Uncle Louie's letter— Wahhh! What are you crying It ain't true! What isn't true? I didn't put the mousetrap say Snooks: Father: about? Snooks: Father : Snooks: in his bed! Father: Nobody said you did! Snooks: Didn't Uncle Louie that in the letter? Father: No. Snooks: Then he didn't go to bed yet! THE scene shifts. Snooks and Daddy are in the terminal cafe, five minutes before boarding a train for Grandma's. Father: Go ahead and eat your salad, Snooks. Snooks: I want some bananas. Father: They haven't got any. Snooks: Yes, they have. Right there — hanging on a stick. Father: You can't have those bananas — they're still green. Snooks: I like 'em! Father: I know but they're not ripe. Snooks: Why? Father: Because they're green! Snooks: Then I want some beer. Father: It'll make you dizzy. Eat your lettuce. Snooks: I don't wanna. The lettuce is no good. Father: Why not? Snooks: Because it's green. What of it? Well, if it's green it aint Father: Snooks ripe. Father: Oh stop that nonsense. Of course it's ripe. Snooks: You said the bananas aint ripe when they're green. Father: I know I did. Snooks: Then why is the lettuce ripe when it's green? Father: Because that's the color of lettuce when it's ripe. Snooks: Well, what color is it when it aint ripe? Father: GREEN! It's green when it's ripe and it's green when it's not ripe! Snooks: Did you drink some beer, daddy? Father: YES! Snooks: Did it make you dizzy? And now the moment has come for Baby Snooks to be entered in a baby beauty contest. Mother: Now, please dear, put down that newspaper and take a picture of Snooks. Father: Oh, why must I do it now? I'm tired! Mother: Well, we can certainly use that $500. Now hurry up before the sun goes down. Father: Oh, all right — where's Snooks? Mother: She's out on the porch.
