　　C: (In the school's lunchroom)
Kelly: What a pleasant lunchroom! I'd love to meet the nutritionist who prepares the students' meals.
Old Man: (He's stirring in the stew¹.) Hi, sweetie!
Bumper²: Well, um, Mr. Lousy isn't exactly a nutritionist...
Kelly: May I sample that interesting-looking stew?
Old Man: Help yourself! But it needs heating up!
(Ron runs in.)
Ron: Oh, no! If she eats Lousy's stew on an empty stomach, she'll be sick for a month! (He says to Kelly.) Don't do it, Kelly! (Ron knocks over the cooker and the juice of the meat spills all over Kelly's dress.) Um...oops! My lunch period's not until later! Gotta run!
