Boopsie: Zonker, Sam can't go to a wedding - she's got school! Zonker: But it's a once-in-a-lifetime education experience! Also, think of the manners she'll pick up at court! Here's a preview - kick it, Sam! Sam: Please, Mummy! Please, Father! I should very much like to go! It'll be ever so jolly and grand! Sam: "Mummy"? B.D.: "Please"? Zonker: They're speechless! That means yes! Sam: Yay!

Interesting. Would be nice if she picks up cockney slang while over there.

When my parents were rendered speechless, it was usually to think of a new way to say “no.”

I do say! Lord Zonker has done quite a smashing job, according to Samantha’s lovely performace. Why, she even said “Please”. And on the very first try, too. Good show, indeed.
However, we simply cannot overlook that he wishes for her to suspend seven days of schooling. Education is very important in a young child’s life, don’t you know?
Perhaps as penance, Samantha can write an essay on the event.

Zonker must be asexual, or he would have molested her a long time ago.
