Hey, where are you going?
[angrily and tries to rush Brother] The bookstore! Remember?!
I remember. I was just playing at Lenny's.
I told you, "4 o'clock!"!
[also trying to rush Brother] Come on, Brother. We're already late as it is.
[The scene cuts to the book store. Brother and Sister have to miss out going to the bookstore because it's closed. Thanks to Brother who was late. Sister sees the "CLOSED" sign on the entrance door of the bookstore. And she says...!]
[sadly] I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S CLOSED!
[Sister --after saying this-- sadly sighs and huffs.]
I'm sure Ursula Major will visit the bookstore again.
[Sister glares at Brother.]
Hey, don't look at me. That train we had to wait for must've been 100 freight cars long.
And if you had come home at 4 o'clock, we would have been past that railway-crossing before the train came!
[True to what Sister says, she, Brother, and Mama missed their last train to go to the bookstore. And they were forced to take their car to it. In the meantime, Sister and Brother both look upset and face away from each other. Sister resumes huffing.]
[to Sister] Now, now, here's no sense getting into a big fuss over it.
Right, Sis. These things happen.
Now, I didn't say that, Brother.
What?
These things happen (sometimes), yes, but your coming home late didn't help matters.
[True to what Mama says, these things do happen sometimes. It was an accident and accidents happen. But according to Mama's saying, he's always coming home late. That's what matters.]
Maybe next time I should pay closer attention to my watch.
A watch doesn't take you where you have to be. It's up to you to decide if you want to be on time.
[True to Mama's saying, having a watch --to be on time-- might be one thing. A watch, it is one good thing. But it --a watch-- is not going to take you where you have to be. It is your decision if you want to be on time. Mama says to Brother, "It is up to you to decide whether you want to be on time!".]
[to Mama] Well, I want to be on time. I just get busy with things sometimes.
[Sister turns to Brother. And she says...!]
[to Brother] Well, next time you get busy with things, don't mess up my time too!
