Susan:
[talking on telephone] But I don't understand, Headmaster; why do you want to see us? [pause] Michael! Yes, well of course I know where he is; he's at school.

[Michael enters the room behind Susan]

Susan:
Yes, your school. Yes, I'm sure. [pause] Michael is not taking unauthorized absence again. He's not the truanting type. My son is an A-star student, not some woolly-hatted skateboarding loser. May I suggest you look for him in the usual place at the top of his class.

[Michael pops open a soda tin]

Susan:
Aah! [stares at Michael, who leaves the room] No, no; no, no, it's nothing. No, we'll be right there
