• Baby Sinclair : [watching TV with Earl]  Ha ha ha ha ha! Puppets! Ha ha ha ha!

  Purple female puppet : To which Lord Bellington replied "Madam, that is not my wife, that is the arch-bishop."

  Green male puppet : Toh! That would explain his reluctance to dance with me! Yes, yes...

  Purple female puppet : That, and his dreadful taste in hats!

  [both laugh] 

  Earl Sinclair : [laughs]  Hey, hey, Frannie - you gotta see this puppet show. It's terrific!

  Baby Sinclair : Uh-huh!

  Fran Sinclair : Earl, that's for kids.

  Earl Sinclair : Yeah, you'd think that because they're puppets - so the show seems to have a children's asthetic.

  [turns to camera] 

  Earl Sinclair : Yet the dialouge is unquestionably sharp-edged, witty and thematically skewed to adults.

  Purple female puppet : Here comes our neighbor, Mr. Argyle.

  Green male puppet : Dah!

  Mr. Argyle : Ah! Good day to you, lassie and laddie! And where is that athletic son of yours?

  Purple female puppet : Well he's...

  Son : Hello, Mummy and Daddy!

  Purple female puppet : He's here.

  Son : Look who I brought home for dinner!

  [two decorated female sock puppets come in] 

  Purple female puppet : Oh! Don't you bring that pair of hos into this house!

  [they gasp] 

  Earl Sinclair : [laughs]  I'm telling you Fran, this show works on two levels!

  Fran Sinclair : [questioning and incredulous]  They look like puppets. I'm not watching.
