[Those inside 508 Ricardo Street will hear snippets of an argument between Frances and her newly-droned not-dad.] --no, I didn't get ya a present, what do ya think, you're not my real dad, idiot-- What! Grounded! Ya can't-- I'm not walkin' up these stairs 'cause ya told me to, stupid, I'm doin' it 'cause I wanna!

And why do you need that?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

'Cause I've been grounded, stupid! I can't just walk out the front door!

[toughestknd]

You coulda tried the backdoor! Duh!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

The stupid drone would see me, moron, and I'd get sent right back to my room! Jeez, haven't ya ever snuck out before?

[toughestknd]

Hey, you're talkin' to the all time master of sneaking out of places! You should be begging me for help!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

I don't beg.

'least of all to you.

I'm sure somebody with more sense than you've got will be answerin' the phone any minute now.

[toughestknd]

Well, maybe you should!

Hah! And what if they don't? I've got just as much sense as anyone else in town.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

... Ya know, I'm startin' to think that ya do.

If they don't, I'll just use my bedsheets. I just don't feel like explainin' that to "Dad" later.

[toughestknd]

That's what I'd do. And who cares about explaining anything? If you're good enough, you won't have to explain a thing!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Bedsheets can also rip, stupid! I'm not bettin' my life on a poly/cotton blend!

[toughestknd]

Sheesh, well you haven't even tried yet! Stop yellin' at me!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[silence]

[toughestknd]

...eh... Numbuh 86?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[unintelligible but very angry-sounding mumbling]

[toughestknd]

...I didn't say you couldn't talk or nothin'. Or is screaming all you can do?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

WHAT'D YA JUST DO, YA IDIOT?!
