OUT FOR A PICNIC
 
Laurance- Just look! The day has dawned lovely!
 
Soony- It certainly looks clear--good day for a picnic.
 
Laurance- I was thinking the same thing.
 
Soony- Well, how about it then?
 
Laurance- Okay by me. How soon do you want to leave?
 
Soony- Say...in an hour.
 
Laurance- Make it an hour and a half. We have to take time to get some more food, and besides that I'd like to invite Nancy and Jim.
 
Soony- Fine. While you're getting things ready in the house, I'll go pack the car.
