Shirley
Maybe if you didn't call me ma'am, things might work out better.
Joe
That's the first god-damned time this thing ever quit on me. It's a fact. You think I'm lyin' to ya?
Shirley
No, no, I don't think you're lyin'. I just had this funny image. I had this image of a, um, policeman without his stick, and a, uh, bugler without his horn, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Well, I think I'm making it worse. Maybe we ought to take a little nap and see what happens.
Joe
I ain't sleepy.
Shirley
Oh! I know, scribbage.
