- Wishbone: [trotting hurriedly up to a mild-mannered freckle-faced redhead in a wheelchair] Hi - - I was wondering if you might be so kind as to help out a cute little dog who's about to be in a whole lot of trouble in just a few moments?
- School Girl: [smiling fondly, indicating that Wishbone has probably kept her company and helped cheer her up on previous occasions; she then moves her blanket aside to invite Wishbone to hop up into her lap and be concealed] Come on, Wishbone.
- Wishbone: [leaping up into the girl's lap in great relief] Thanks.
- [in a muffled voice after getting covered with the blanket]
- Wishbone: I **really** appreciate this.
- Miss Malloy: [after having amusedly observed the handicapped girl releasing Wishbone from under her blanket, then encountering Joe on her way out the front door of the school cradling a large box in her arms] By the way, Joe - - I'm glad you think I'm cool, but "excellent" is spelled with **two** "L"s.
- [smilingly offers Joe one side of the box in an obvious kindly effort to allow him to spend a little while in her company]
- Miss Malloy: You wanna help me put this in my car?
