• Geoffrey Cole : [They are playing 20 questions]  Is it animal?

  Augustus Merrick : [chuckling]  No. Animal...!

  Geoffrey Cole : Then it must be metal.

  Laura Merrick : Yes, that's right!

  Augustus Merrick : Aw, what did you say that for?

  Laura Merrick : Well, he knows it must be metal if it isn't animal or vegetable. It must be metal.

  Augustus Merrick : Well, it might have been mineral.

  Laura Merrick : Oh, he knows we wouldn't choose a mineral.

  Augustus Merrick : If you won't keep quiet, I won't play!

  Laura Merrick : Oh, very well. My turn now. Ask me, Geoffrey.

  Geoffrey Cole : Well, let me see... .is it a precious metal?

  Laura Merrick : Yes, yes, it must be. Isn't it Max?

  Max Lawrence : Yes.

  Augustus Merrick : Now you've given it all away!

  Laura Merrick : What have I given away?

  Augustus Merrick : Well, you've given away that it's something that this fellow knows more about than the rest of us.

  Laura Merrick : [laughing]  You gave it away yourself just now. Besides the person I asked might have asked anyone.

  Augustus Merrick : [pointing to Max]  Now he knows it belongs to him.

  Laura Merrick : Oh, don't be childish, Augustus.

  Augustus Merrick : Aw, childish be hanged, you've given it all away.

  Laura Merrick : After all, It's only a game.

  Augustus Merrick : Well, I know but I wanted to play it.

  Laura Merrick : Well, go ahead and play it.

  Laura Merrick : You don't know what it is, do you, Geoffrey?

  Geoffrey Cole : Well, the only precious metal that I know of that might belong to Mr. Lawrence is the prize he won for painting last year.

  Augustus Merrick : There you are!

  Laura Merrick : Isn't that wonderful. He guessed it in three questions. How ever did you do it?

  Laura Merrick : [to Augustus]  Now, Augustus Merrick, aren't you ashamed that you called him an idiot?

  Laura Merrick : [seeing the looking on Geoffrey's face]  oh, oh, oh, it's a very popular game. Everyone's playing it all over New York.

  Augustus Merrick : Laura, you're a dunce!

  Laura Merrick : How dare you insinuate I'm a dunce. You called him an idiot, you know you did.

  Laura Merrick : [Geoffrey starts to walk away]  Oh, don't go, Geoffrey.

  Laura Merrick : [to Augustus]  Now you've hurt his feelings.

  Augustus Merrick : I done no such thing. You called him an idiot twice.

  Laura Merrick : I was only repeating what you said. And I covered it up beautifully. He never would have noticed if you'd kept quiet. Would you Geoffrey?
