The Buzz on Maggie

[Maggie's parents angrily scold their daughter when Germy escapes her bedroom and into the living room before she came back home]

Chauncey:
Young lady, we're furious!

Maggie:
Me too! [turns to Pupert] Pupert, DID YOU BRING THAT GERM IN THIS HOUSE?!

Pupert:
No! I swear! PLEASE, BELIEVE ME!

Chauncey:
But…

Pupert:
FINE! I'll GO TO BED WITHOUT SUPPER, BUT YOU HAV’ENT HEARD THE LAST Of THIS!! [runs to his bedroom, crying]

Chauncey:
Maggie, DIDN’T I TELL YOU NOT TO BRING THAT BUG-FOR SAKING GERM BACK TO STICKYFEET?!

Maggie:
But I cleaned him and I've got him completely trained. [looks around the living room, completely wrecked] Well, almost.

Chauncey:
Stickyfeet doesn't allow germs, Maggie. At least not the ones that make humans sick. We flies had a bad enough rap as it is.

Frieda:
The humans are always blaming us for spreading germs. It's just plain embarrassing.

Maggie:
[remorsefully understanding that her parents are right] I'm sorry.

Chauncey:
You will take that thing right back where you found him, first thing in the morning. End of discussion.
