Viola: Happy New Year, Petey Potterpoop! Petey: Thanks, Um! Viola! You too! Ernesto: Watch you step, Petet. Viola D'amore is my beloved. Petey: I'll bet if I try hard enough, I can slam my head in the locker and chew my arm off simultaneously.
@Reynard61I think Petey assumes Ernesto is imaginary because he is so weird (weirder even than Petey). I’m also not convinced that Petey has a romantic interest in Viola – possibly he’s just embarrassed that any one believes that he does.
