• [Lady Elaine is on top of her Museum-Go-Round spinning] 

  Handyman Negri : Lady Elaine?

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Yeah?

  Handyman Negri : What are you doing?

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : I'm spinning out my mad feelings.

  Handyman Negri : How about saying exactly what you're mad about.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : You know.

  Handyman Negri : Yeah. I... I think I know, but I want *you* to say it.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : I can't draw Grand-pere's tower, so there.

  Handyman Negri : Going around in circles certainly isn't going to make you a better artist.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : How do you know?

  Handyman Negri : I don't think it will. I mean, I think the only thing that will help you draw better is to practice your drawing.

  Lady Elaine Fairchilde : Either that, or my boomerang toomerang soomerang.
