FATHER: Drat! That's the third one this week. I buy fuses by the case.
FATHER: Uh oh. And I've blown the whole neighborhood again! (He sounds as if he finds a strange amusement in his deed.)

JIMMY: (Heard off stage.) Shucks. Every time he has company, he blows a fuse. And guess who always has to change it.
FATHER: I heard that young man! I heard that!
MOTHER: Oh, well that's more like it. John, yours is the last costume I've got to finish before the parade starts.
FATHER: Sarah's lady's club is responsible for our town's Forth of July celebration tonight. She's got us all roped up into preforming in their program.

FATHER: Rover! Don't interrupt, while Sarah's interrupting.
SARAH: And guess who volunteered to choose the music for the program.
JIMMY: I did pop! Listen to this!
