• Uncle Hugo : Don't shake the floor, please.

  [Hugo repeatedly drops a cork on the floor until it lands on its end] 

  Uncle Hugo : There you go. You see, you can't start on a bottle until the cork lands on its feet. It's very frustrating when it takes a long time. On the other hand, it's quite delightful when it happens on the first toss.

  [offers the bottle to Milly] 

  Uncle Hugo : Care for a drink?

  Milly : No, no thank you.

  Uncle Hugo : Are you calling me a drunk?

  Milly : No.

  Uncle Hugo : Why not?
