I’m here ahead of time, walking up to Constance and Marshall’s house…

I said I’d come help set up for tonight,

When we’ll be here to have some light refreshments and discuss

Connie, why is Marshall sitting out there making faces at me?

At you? Why would he be making faces at you?

Well, he doesn’t have to help with the..

Acting like a what?

I see.

All evening?

But it’ll be a little awkward, won’t it, if we’re all sitting in here eating cookies and he’s out there sticking out his tongue…..

Oh.

 

Well, I suppose. I mean, yes, I guess.. that….um… discipline can be important… but he’s your…

He does?

I know there are men who appreciate a strong woman, but…

Uh… I don’t think I want to have this discussion…

It’s really none of my business, is it.

 

But won’t you let him come in, when we’re all here?

Just so nobody feels.. you know…. funny about his being out there all alone?

Well, yes, I guess they could, but I doubt any of the guys want to sit out there with him…

I think we’d rather he joined us… but yeah, you’re right….

 

Well no, I don’t think you need to put up a screen…

But whatever works for you guys… right?

How dairy? Wow

A pretty cheesy pun.

 

Plods…. Are you trying to milk it?

Have you ever tried to stop a 40 ton tanker truck? We’re supposed to feel empathy for this driver because he says he’s hauling dairy. When in reality, it’s just another bootlegger truck and he’s rushing to meet his vendors before they’re all out of the good stuff. You know how ugly a dry saloon can get.

Leave it to Cleo to milk it for all it’s worth.

Marshall should learn to sit still.

Yes, how very dairy!!!

Yogurt to hand it to nighthawks for churning out whey out puns…

Very good, Cleo!

Pastis prime, Cleo.
