Billy: That's because you're too busy shopping.
Jennifer: You got me there. So let me see him...he looks like a little Eskimo.
Billy: Would an Eskimo wear a bright orange parka? I don't think so.
Jennifer: What's this on his back?
Billy: It's a cell phone holder. See, it's got a shoulder strap.
Jennifer: You can keep your cell phone warm! How sweet! But why are his eyes so big?
Billy: All the better to glare at you with!

比 利︰那是因為你太忙著去購物啦!
珍妮花︰被你說中了。讓我看一下……他看起來像個小愛斯基摩人。
比 利︰愛斯基摩人會穿鮮橘色的連帽大衣嗎?我可不這么認為。
珍妮花︰他背上的是什么東西啊?
比 利︰那是手機袋。瞧，它還有條肩帶呢。
珍妮花︰這樣你就可以為手機保暖了!好貼心喔!但他的眼睛干嘛睜這么大?
