Michellee and E.B. in “Dark”

Oh... [chuckles] It’s very pretty.

You think?

I super think. Such a beautiful landscape.

[sighs] It’s not a landscape. It’s a Chickeraffe.

Oh. Oh, sure is. I see it now. I especially like how you drew his little foot right there, tearing out that guy’s eyeballs.

That’s his nose. And he’s snuzzling me. How many times do I have to tell you? They’re not dangerous. [sighs] It doesn’t matter. I’m not even allowed to have a panda, let alone Mr. Jenkins. [crumbles up the drawing and throws it on the floor.]

[picks up the drawing] Why don’t you let me help you with this? You know, your mom, well, she used to be quite a good artist back in the day.

No, thanks. I’ll just watch grass grow.
