Mom: Ok, I put the clown back in your Jack-in-the-box. You're safe. Alice: Good. Hide it somewhere. Mom: Alice, if you're scared of it, let's give it away- Alice: What? Foist it on some unsuspecting kid? Mom: We could beat it with a shovel and throw it down a mineshaft. Alice: Giving away toys goes against all I hold dear.
