　　D:(Saying to Frank)
Susan:Dad, I'm going to a sports car race! Victor has a car entered!
Frank:So he's thought up a new way to break his fool neck!
Susan:(Opens the closet) Hmm...now what can I possibly wear? No, this looks too old.
Uh-uh, this looks too sophisticated!
(Doorbell rings)
Susan:Like it, Victor? I pieced together and accessorized  a few outfits² ...chromed the buttons...redesigned the lapels... and modified the lining³!
Victor:  (Looking a little surprised) Looking good, Sue! What do you say we burn a little rubber in my second car for the Grand Prix?
Susan:(A car pulls up and they drive away.) This is Mike's house! Are you picking him
up too?
Victor:  C'mon! Mike's also got a racer!
(They enter Mike's house.)
Victor:Is the Grand Prix set up, gang?
Mike:For a half hour already!
(A girl smirks⁴.)
Susan:What are you smirking⁵ at, Betty?
Betty:Oh nothing, Sue! Your outfit¹ is very original!
Victor:(Showing Sue a model car) Sue, just look at this baby! Aren't these treads
realistic?
Susan:(Feeling angry) I'd like to tread all over you, Victor!
Victor:  But, Sue! I named this beauty "Susan" after you!
Susan: Oh? That's sweet of you, Victor! Enjoy your race!
(Susan runs away angrily.)
