For Better or for Worse

John Patterson:
How's our mournful musician?

Elly Patterson:
He's still up there.

John Patterson:
I already tried my A-Material on him. "Stiff Upper Lip" "Plenty of fish in the sea."

Elly Patterson:
Well, What did you do when you got dumped?

John Patterson:
Who says I was ever dumped?

[Ellie looks at John disaprovingly]

John Patterson:
Well, I guess I did stuff. Played with my model trains. Excuse me for a second.

[Opening kitchen door. Singsong]

John Patterson:
Michael shove a sock in it.

Elly Patterson:
It's good for a boy to get. He hasn't done anything for days.
