Hector MacDonald:
[muffled, with the ball in his mouth as he crawls forth] Now, like this, like that, let's go through it once more, and then you drop it, all right.

[releases the ball from his mouth]

Hector MacDonald:
All right? Did you *get* that?

Molly MacDonald:
[as he puts it back in his mouth and the dog whimpers as she calls from just outside the house] Hector - come inside, Archie's some sort of announcement to make.

Hector MacDonald:
[muffled once more] In a minute!... Now watch, I'm ready, like that, all right, and you drop it

[releases it from his mouth again]

Hector MacDonald:
like that.

[the dog gazes at the ball then back up at him, Hector stands]

Hector MacDonald:
Well, at least I've solved the problem of what to call you. Come on, then - Useless.
