[Lisa gets home from taking pictures. She has taken pictures on her mother, Moppy's parents, Pandro, and Moppy again. That is, even though they were doing something which was private. Indeed, Lisa was snooping through their privacy. The scene then cuts to her mother while reading her book in the kitchen at the kitchen table is looking rather embarrassed. Because what Lisa did was snapping photos on everyone in the building without their permission including her mother too when she privately had curlers and face cream on in the morning]

Lisa:
[to her mother] You want to see the pictures that I took today?

[Lisa's Mom is not happy about Lisa's "snapping pictures" behavior in the building.]

Lisa's Mom:
[to Lisa] I'm hearing that you've snapped all sorts of photos around here. I am very curious to see how they turned out.

[As Lisa's Mom is looking through the pictures that Lisa took around the building.]

Lisa:
I know you may like my pictures, Mom. [about Moppy] Moppy, he does not think it is right to sneak up on people to take surprise pictures.

[Lisa's Mom looks through the pictures. After going through them, she then finds the picture that Lisa snapped on her earlier in the morning when she had curlers and face cream on. The picture reveals to showing Lisa's Mom in an embarrassed look to after Lisa took a picture of her; and right after Lisa invaded her privacy. The picture that her mother reveals is a picture of her with curlers and face cream on and an awkward face when Lisa took her picture.]

Lisa's Mom:
[looks at the picture] Oh...!

[Lisa's Mom looks at the picture --after she found the one picture that Lisa snapped on her-- then turns back to Lisa.]

Lisa's Mom:
I can see why. You took these pictures without getting people's permission first.

Lisa:
Mm-hmm.

Lisa's Mom:
That is an invasion of their privacy.

Lisa:
You mean, you do not like them either?

Lisa's Mom:
No, Lisa. I don't. They may be good photographs. But they aren't very nice ones.

Lisa:
Well, I think everyone in the building is a little too touchy around here. I am going to go put my pictures into an album.

[Lisa runs off with the pile of pictures and into her room. Lisa's mom sits at the dining room table and takes out the photo of herself with face cream on --and an awkward expression-- then looks at it.]
