Cathy Lowery : How was your morning?
Bill Lowery : Pretty good, I guess. Except for one really strange thing that happened. I was leaving work, and this kid - Robbie? works in the mail room? - he stops me and he says...
Cathy Lowery : Excuse me, sweetie, I don't mean to interrupt you, but this is gonna be done pretty quick and I wanted you to look in on Donnie before we eat.
Bill Lowery : Is something the matter?
Cathy Lowery : His cold's getting worse. He's so pale and awfully congested and he didn't touch his dinosaur when I took it in to him.
Bill Lowery : [startled] What? What did you say?
Cathy Lowery : I said, I think Donnie's cold is getting worse.
Bill Lowery : No no no. Did you say "dinosaur"?
Cathy Lowery : Mm-hmm, he wouldn't touch it and it's his favorite: tuna-fish.
Bill Lowery : Why are you saying "dinosaur"?
Cathy Lowery : What do you expect me to say?
Bill Lowery : Did Robbie or someone for work call you and tell you to say "dinosaur" as a joke or something?
Cathy Lowery : Robbie? Who's Robbie? Why would he call me?
Bill Lowery : Then why are you saying "dinosaur" instead of "lunch"?
Cathy Lowery : "Dinosaur instead of lunch," Bill, what are you talking about?
Bill Lowery : Can't you hear what you're saying? You're saying Donnie wouldn't touch his *dinosaur*!
Cathy Lowery : [confused] I know. And I'm a little worried.
Bill Lowery : *"Dinosaur"*? Come on, Kathy, i-it's *"lunch"*! The word is "lunch"!
Cathy Lowery : [annoyed] "Lunch"? What has "lunch" got to do with anything?
Bill Lowery : "What has lunch got to *do* with any - ?"? All right. Okay. What does "lunch" mean?
Cathy Lowery : [unsure] Bill, you know what "lunch" means.
Bill Lowery : [angrily demanding] What does it mean! Tell me!
Cathy Lowery : [a little afraid] It's a color.
