Sincere: uh... sure
Bessie: Where's your husband?
Sincere: umm.... at the store.... getting icecream..
Bessie: aww.. well isn't that nice of him. When he gets back he'll tell you about the girls taking pictures of that poor thing.
Sincere: what thing?
Bessie: That dog (points to little dog statue)
Sincere: what did the girls do to it? Did they hurt it?
Bessie: No, no.... you'll have to ask them. I don't remember..... Have some more chips, Essie.
Sincere: Thank you
Bessie: feed that little bird over there (She calls the pet dog "birds")... Where's my husband?
Sincere: Uh... I think he went to the store.. (her husband died over 40 years ago)
Bessie: Oh... okay.
Sincere: Are you tired Bessie?
Bessie: Yeah.. a little bit.
Sincere: you want to go to bed?
