(Enters)
Hey, bro, how'd your...
(Sees room)
...day go.
LUKE
Wonderful. Couldn't have been better?
PEG
I think you're lying.
LUKE
What tipped you off? The mess or the rip in my stern?
(Shows torn pants)
PEG
Nice boxers.
LUKE
Oh, shut up.
PEG
Boy, you did have a bad day.
LUKE
It was a disaster.
PEG
How'd you rip your pants?
LUKE
Let's see. It's coming back to me now. I was over here helping Sally with her science project and Philip decided it would be funny to tie me to the chair I was sitting in. And instead of the kids helping untie me they yanked the chair off me. Thus the ripped rear.
PEG
(Trying not to laugh)
This tops my day.
LUKE
Go ahead. Laugh it up. I'm sure I'll think it's funny too 100 years from now.
PEG
I'm trying to be nice.
(Laughs)
LUKE
Thanks. You're doing a great job.
PEG
It looks like you have quite a job here too.
LUKE
I should be able to get it cleaned up just in time to start school tomorrow.
PEG
I'll stay and help you.
LUKE
(Suddenly becomes a little pleasant)
Would you, Peg?
PEG
(Hugs and baby talks him)
Yes, anything for my brother.
LUKE
You're a good person. And a good sister.
PEG
Now this is more like it. I like you much better this way.
LUKE
I was being pretty bad. Especially to Fritz the wonder plumber. I wonder if he's coming back.
PEG
So that's who that guy was. He was sure cute. I would sure love to see that plumber’s pants sag.
LUKE
You may get your chance. He's being paid by the hour so he'll probably be with us for a while. I wonder if I should plan on him for breakfast.
PEG
You're getting sarcastic again.
LUKE
I'm feeling sarcastic again.
PEG
The moment is gone.
LUKE
And what a moment it was.
PEG
Don't you go and be mean to the plumber again. I might be interested and I don't want you to blow it for me.
LUKE
You're that desperate, huh?
PEG
What's wrong with him?
LUKE
The man has hands in toilets all day. Isn't that enough?
PEG
I like a man who knows how to use his hands.
LUKE
I don't want to hear this. I'm not listening.
PEG
Besides, he'll have some extra spending money after today.
