Corduroy
[Lisa sees Corduroy is covered with clay while building his own sculpture.]
Lisa:
[playfully laughs] Careful, Corduroy!
[Lisa cleans the wet clay off Corduroy's head with a wet rag.]
Lisa:
[playfully laughs] If you don't you might become Clay-duroy!
[Lisa funnily warns Corduroy and gives him a nickname to be a parody of his name. She --after she says this "If you don't, you may become 'Clay-duroy'!"-- replaces the first syllable --or "prefix"-- "Cor" in his name --which is "Corduroy"-- with "Clay". And --with the new syllable "Clay"-- she repronounces it as "Clay-duroy" for a new name on him. That is, if he is not careful and is seen covered with clay. Then she notes about the sculpture that Corduroy made.]
Lisa:
Your sculpture's really taking shape.
Rosetta:
What about my painting, Lisa?
Lisa:
It's really good.
Corduroy:
It's nice.
Rosetta:
[about her painting and Corduroy's sculpture; and thinks that Lisa likes Corduroy's sculpture better than her painting] Good? Nice? Mais non, it's more than good or nice. It's...! It's a...!
[To be a parody of the word "masterpiece", Rosetta replaces the first syllable --prefix-- "mas" in the word "masterpiece" with "mouse". Then she repronounces it as "mouse-terpiece". Again, see nickname in next quote.]
Rosetta:
A Mouse-terpiece!
[The red paint from the paintbrush lands on Rosetta's face.]
