LOIS: Yet! Good grief! How long--

JULIE: Besides, I usually have a towel.

LOIS: (_Completely overcome_) Golly! You ought to be spanked. I

hope you get caught. I hope there’s a dozen ministers in the

living-room when you come out--and their wives, and their daughters.

JULIE: There wouldn’t be room for them in the living-room, answered

Clean Kate of the Laundry District.

LOIS: All right. You’ve made your own--bath-tub; you can lie in it.

(_LOIS starts determinedly for the door._)

JULIE: (_In alarm_) Hey! Hey! I don’t care about the k’mono, but

I want the towel. I can’t dry myself on a piece of soap and a wet

wash-rag.

LOIS: (_Obstinately_) I won’t humor such a creature. You’ll have

to dry yourself the best way you can. You can roll on the floor like

the animals do that don’t wear any clothes.

JULIE: (_Complacent again_) All right. Get out!

LOIS: (_Haughtily_) Huh!

(JULIE _turns on the cold water and with her finger directs a

parabolic stream at_ LOIS. LOIS _retires quickly, slamming the door

after her._ JULIE _laughs and turns off the water_)
