Jake Strikes Again...

Scene:  Kitchen.  Cleaning up after dinner.  Mom putting away dishes; Jake filling up water bottles.

Mom:  Hey, Jake, can that wait?  You're right in the way.


Jake:  I'm just doing what you ask me to do.  You're always getting on me for not doing it, and the one time I do, you don't want me to.


Mom:  Well, yeah, but right now you're more of a hindrance than help.

Jake:  (Pause) I am not going to respond to that until I have a lawyer and a dictionary.
