GEORGE
Yeah, Bob. You get yourself one of those Japanese kids and you'll never
have to clean again. Or an Italian kid. Those little guys can really
cook! Um! I can see the Lasagna now!
BOB
George, what's the sudden interest in our adopting a kid?
JUST THEN, LARRY, DARYL AND DARYL OPEN THE FRONT DOOR AND WALK OVER TO WHERE BOB AND GEORGE ARE HAVING THEIR DISCUSSION.
LARRY
Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother, Daryl. And my other brother, Daryl.
EVERYONE PAUSES FOR OBLIGATORY APPLAUSE.
LARRY
Mr. Loudon, I heard you were looking for a kid to adopt. We come
to offer you three for the price of one. Well, what do you say?
BOB
Now, hold it! All of you! Nobody said Joanna and I were interested
in adopting anybody! That is the most absurd idea I have
ever heard!
LARRY
Then why did you spread the word that you two were looking
for a kid to call you own?
GEORGE
Yeah. Why did you do that, Bob?
BOB TURNS AND GIVES GEORGE A BLANK STARE.
BOB
George, you're fired. And Larry, you and your moron brothers
better be out of here in one minute or I'm going to sick my
guard dog on you. Now, SCRAM!
LARRY
Boy, are you going to make a mean daddy!
(beat)
What dog? I ain't seen a dog around --
BOB PRESSES A BUTTON ON HIS DESK, OPENING A SLOT IN THE WALL FROM WHICH A FEROCIOUS DOG COMES CHARGING TOWARD HIS UNWELCOMED VISITORS.
BOB
Ah, Joanna, what's for lunch?
