VALERIE
It's genetic.
MR. DUMPLING
What?
VALERIE
It's not con-ta-gi-ous. It's ge-net-ic.
MR. DUMPLING
Oh...
VALERIE
And anyway, it's teatime.
MR. DUMPLING
So it is.
VALERIE
It's teatime, Mummy Dumpling!
MRS. DUMPLING
(Stopping her chase)
Thank the stars for that. That was such an exertion!
Stopping, Josef gathers himself up and suddenly launches his ball. It travels quite a distance.
VALERIE
Stratospheric!
MRS. DUMPLING
And a six for technique
VALERIE
That has to be some sort of record.
MR. DUMPLING
I'm going for tea
(Exit)
MRS. DUMPLING
Yes, thank you, Daddy.
VALERIE
It is a record! It is some sort of record! Yippee!
MRS. DUMPLING
Congratulations, Josef
JOSEF
T'was nothing
VALERIE
Oh, yes it was. It's a record in a record. The founding of a previously unrecorded record at the very moment that previously unrecorded record was recorded. That's TWO records!
JOSEF
I hit the double.
MRS. DUMPLING
We're all so proud of you, Josef.
JOSEF
Anyone could have done it.
VALERIE
Correction. Anyone who is anyone could have done... Now, where's that tea?

Mrs. Dumpling, Valerie, and Josef are tightly huddled together as if Desperate.
