| Read the conversation between Mrs. Murphy a maid, who is taking care of the Browns' children. About 10 o'clock she calls the resident manager. |
| Mrs. Murphy:Mr. Carter, this is Mrs. Murphy, the relief maid. Tonight I am staying with the children in 502. I'm sorry to disturb you, but… |
| Mr. Carter: What's the trouble, Mrs. Murphy? |
| Mrs. Murphy:You see, sir, there are three children. Their mother told them to go to bed at 9:30. Well, first, they wanted to watch TV, but the set was broken. |
| Mr. Carter:Didn't you call the repairman to fix it? |
| Mrs. Murphy:Yes, he came and fixed it. But now the toilet in the boys' room won't work. There is water all over the bathroom floor. |
| Mr. Carter: I'llsend the plumber up right away, Mrs. Murphy. |
| Mrs. Murphy: Thank you. But the children also called room service and ordered a lot to eat. |
| Mr. Carter:Perhaps I had better come up. (Soon Mr. Carter knocks at the door) |
| Mrs. Murphy: (Shouting)Wait a minute. The door is locked, and I can't open it. (To Peter) I know you are behind those drapes. Peter. Come out and unlock the door. (Peter unlocks the door and Mr. Carter enters) |
| Mr. Carter:Isn't it time for little girls and boys to be in bed? |
| Peter:I'm not little. Besides, we're hungry. |
| John:He'll have his twelfth birthday next week. Mister, we always eat before we go to bed. (Just then the waiter brings in a tray with food and drinks. He puts the tray on the writing desk) |
| Mr. Carter:Who is going to pay for all this? |
| Mary:Peter will sign the bill. |
| Mr. Carter:What is your father going to say? Waiter, I had better O.K. this bill. |
| Mrs. Murphy: (Shaking her head)Your father won't like that. |
| Mary:Please put the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa. We can eat while we are watching the programs. |
| Mr. Carter:Let's see if everything is here. What's on the tray? |
| Peter:Iordered hamburgers, malted milk, and pie a la mode. I eat that every night. |
| John:And I do, too. |
| Mary:I ordered a hot dog and coke. I like hot dogs. |
| John:And so do I. |
| Mrs. Murphy:Of course, I'm going to tell their parents. |
| John:Miss, you're so nice. You aren't going to tell |
| Daddy, are you? Here, you can have my ice cream. |
