[At the art gallery --Lisa's mom's art gallery-- with Lisa, Corduroy, and Rosetta, Corduroy is playing with the art as he jumps up and down when he's trying to climb on the statue until Lisa picks him up. At this, Corduroy thinks that he and Rosetta can doing anything they want in the art gallery just because no one else is in it nor using it. So when Corduroy asks Lisa to "help him climb the statue", Lisa picks him up thinking she might do so]

Corduroy:
[laughing; trying to get Lisa to help him climb on the statue as he jokingly wants to climb it] Help me up, please...!

Lisa:
[knows the truth about the "HANDS OFF" signs --meaning "look but don't touch"] Sorry, Cordy. No can do.

[Lisa calls to Rosetta who is also playing on the art. Rosetta is swinging on the red ropes.]

Lisa:
[turns to Rosetta] Come on down (from the red ropes), Rosetta.

Rosetta:
[believing the art gallery is closed for today] But the art gallery is closed today. No?

[Rosetta also thinks that she and Corduroy can do anything they want in the art gallery.]

Rosetta:
That means we have the whole place to ourselves!

Lisa:
(Not quite.) It's great that Mom is letting us wander around while she's working.

[Lisa continues to Corduroy and Rosetta about the art gallery and its rules. She says it is for everyone and talks to them about the ropes in the gallery.]

Lisa:
[to Rosetta about the ropes] But those ropes aren't for playing. [then to Corduroy about the art sculptures] And neither is this art.

Corduroy:
I'm not supposed to play here?

Lisa:
Uh-uh. These red ropes are for keeping people from getting too close to the art. It means look but don't touch.
