JUANITA: Can you get it please, David?
DAVID: I'm busy, darling. I've got to mark my students' homework.
JUANITA: I'm busy too; I'm looking after your baby!
DAVID: She's your baby, too! Look, I'll get fired if I don't correct these essays tonight; the students have been complaining again.
JUANITA: Alright. I'll answer the phone. But you can take the baby!
BABY: DAVID: Not on top of the homework! There, there, Sigismonda.
JUANITA: Yes? ¡Sí! ¿Cuándo? Aiee! Sí. ¡Claro que sí!
DAVID: What's going on?
JUANITA: It's my father! He's been kidnapped!
DAVID: What? When?
JUANITA: It happened this afternoon: they broke into his office.
DAVID: Gee, how terrible! What did they want?
JUANITA: I don't know: money, presumably. Of course, Mama will give them everything we've got, just to get him back!
DAVID: Oh! Er... is that a good idea?
JUANITA: What do you mean - is it a good idea?
DAVID: Well I just meant, like, it would be a real shame just to give all that money away.It was just a thought, that's all.
JUANITA: I'd better go straight to Mexico with Sigismonda, so as to be near Mama. I'll get the first flight tomorrow morning; I'll start packing now.
DAVID: And I suppose I'd better finish marking these damn essays. Whose is this, then? Oh, yes, Melissa. Oh yes, Melissa!
