[Mila and Fundis are in a kitchen. Both appear to be grown women. Fundis could also be male or of indeterminate gender.]
Mila [on phone]: Thanks, Mom. Can't wait to get your check. [Pause.] Yeah, you, too. Bye. [hangs up] I got the dolly dolly dollars!
Fundis [in a breathy, baby talkish voice with an English accent that might not sound authentic]: Hahppy, hahppy girl! Oh, hahppy, hahppy!
M: Yeah. I'm happy, alright. Fundis, what've we got for lunch?
F [pointing at M in a stupid way with both hands]: Hahppy, hahppy! Dolly girl Milly Mila doll hahppy happy dolly girl!
M: I guess we could have tuna sandwiches. We still have some bread left, right?
[M starts looking around the kitchen, opening the fridge, cupboards, and so on.]
F: Bready bready hahppy hahppy! Good girl! Hahppy girl for everyone!
M: Good. We've still got some canned tomatos [pulls can from cupboard, puts it on table] and potato skins.
[M gets stuff out from various places, putting things on the table. F picks up 2 plates and hands them directly to M with a bog, expectant smile, and then just stands there looking triumphant.]
M: Thanks, Fundis. [M starts putting things on plates, prepping sandwiches.] I'm sure lucky to have my mom and dad as parents. So are you. WE'RE lucky my mom and dad are my parents.
F: Lucky lucky hahhpy hahppy girly girly Mila Mila Milly moo!
