[Les pays Little Arthur to learn what Mrs. Carlson says about him]

Little Arthur:
She says that you're obtuse.

Les Nessman:
Ooh!

Herb:
[reading dictionary] Adultery... Admire...

Les:
Let me see that.

[snatches dictionary away from Herb]

Les:
Obtuse...

Herb:
[snatching dictionary back from Les] Addle-minded!

Les:
[snatching back the dictionary] Obtuse!

Herb:
[Herb attempts to snatch the dictionary back from Les, but Les slams Herb's hand in the book] Addle-ow!

Bailey:
[entering] Hi, guys.

Herb:
Oh. Hi, Bailey. Met Carlson's son?

Bailey:
Yes. I've had the pleasure.

Herb:
Well, he's quite a kid. Let me tell you. [under breath to Little Arthur] Tell your dad I said that.

Les:
[excited] Obtuse! According to Websters, exceeding ninety degrees but less than one-hundred eighty degrees; lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility; rounded at the free end; dull. [looks and feels offended] That's an insult!

Bailey:
Les, take it easy.

Les:
Take it easy?

Herb:
Yeah. Just calm down, okay?

Les:
Don't tell me to calm down. I just paid five dollars to find out I'm "rounded at the free end"!

Bailey:
Cool off, Les.

Herb:
He's just mad because he's not addle-minded.

Les:
I am too.

Herb:
No. You're not.

Les:
[Herb and Less start hitting each other] Yes. I am.

Herb:
No. You're not.

Les:
Yes. I am!

Herb:
You're not!

Bailey:
You guys! You are both addle-minded!

Les:
Thank you, Bailey.

Bailey:
You're welcome, Les.
