Lola: Penny, what have you been doing with yourself?
Penny Hale: I've been very busy taking care of my daddy.
Lola: Oh, by the way, how is he?
Penny Hale: Well, when he's around me, he acts cheerful, but I don't think he's cheerful inside. I think he's worried.
Lola: Probably because he hasn't any more buildings to put up.
Penny Hale: No, I think he's worried about you.
Lola: Oh, Penny, you're just guessing! What makes you think that?
Penny Hale: He's always asking me questions about you. Just like you're asking me questions about him.
