JEFFINA: What are you doing, Milton?
MILTON: I’m making a hat.
JEFFINA: Out of tinfoil?
MILTON: It works best. (dismissively) You don’t need one. You’re a robot.
JEFFINA: So why do you need a hat?
MILTON: To stop the rabbits.
JEFFINA: But hats won’t keep the rabbits out of the garden.
MILTON: They’ve infiltrated as far as the garden? Then it’s too late - we’re all doomed. Doomed!
JEFFINA: We’re all doomed because of rabbits?
MILTON: Okay, maybe not the robots. (jams the half-finished hat on his head and glares around furtively) Forget I said anything. It’s safer that way.
