[radiantly]

H-hello?

[superspeeds]

[And now for the overreaction]

Angelica? Are you there? What's happened?

[radiantly]

I'm here. I...

I just got the most wonderful news.

[Aaaaand now she's crying again.]

[superspeeds]

What is it? Please stop crying.

[radiantly]

[She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down.]

Mr. Langdon is donating ten thousand dollars for my fundraiser.

[superspeeds]

That's excellent news. I'm very happy for you, Angelica.

[radiantly]

And he's giving us another thousand for every person who enters the contest.

I'm so shocked. I didn't expect any of this.

[superspeeds]

Which contest is this?

[radiantly]

The costume contest, of course.

[superspeeds]

Yes, of course. I suppose I shall have to finish my costume on time, then.

Will you help me?

[radiantly]

You're going to enter?

[superspeeds]

I had considered it.

[radiantly]

What are you going to dress as?

[superspeeds]

The White Rabbit.

[radiantly]

[...]

You mean from Alice?

[superspeeds]

Is there another?

[radiantly]

No, I suppose not.

I'm just surprised, that's all.

[superspeeds]

Is that an inappropriate costume? It's a little difficult to find something suitable, with my coloring.

[radiantly]

You can be anything you like, sweetheart. If you want to be a rabbit, well... [giggles] Well... more power to you!

[superspeeds]

I can't help but think that you're mocking me.

[radiantly]

Who me?

[superspeeds]

Yes. I also can't help but think that I am a terrible influence on you.

[radiantly]

[more giggling. hey, it beats crying!]

Is it so terrible that I'm developing your sense of humor?

[superspeeds]

I've heard that it's quite irritating.

[radiantly]

Is this your way of telling me I'm irritating?
