"Dada - Verina pritelkyne: Jirka, that takes the biscuit! He does it on purpose."
"[first lines] Vera: Mylda! Either you eat your supper or you go to bed. Come on. Quick - or I'll take the kitchen spoon to you. Don't get undressed! Mylda: Why? I'm hot. Vera: Nonsense! Come on, hurry, and no television. You're going to bed. Mylda: I haven't finished watching television. Vera: You're going to bed. Mylda, be a good boy."
