Leopold the Tutor : Your Excellency.
Mr. Spanish Ambassador : I want an explanation. Why did this loco fellow say our Pepito is a menace?
Leopold the Tutor : I have no idea. Pepito is a sweet, well-behaved child. There's just one problem with Pepito.
Mr. Spanish Ambassador : What is that?
Leopold the Tutor : He needs some diversion. He spends all day cooped up in the house studying. I'm teaching him Latin. I'm teaching him biology, algebration, calculometry, physiconomy, and astrology.
Mr. Spanish Ambassador : But he can hardly read.
Leopold the Tutor : No, he's taken huge leaps.
Mrs. Spanish Ambassador : How wonderful!
Leopold the Tutor : So, um, as a reward for all his hard work, I'm gonna take him to the circus.
Mr. Spanish Ambassador : The circus?
Mrs. Spanish Ambassador : The circus?
Mr. Spanish Ambassador : I love the circus. We'll all go to the circus.
Mrs. Spanish Ambassador : Oh, great idea. We will all go!
Leopold the Tutor : No, no, no. Just me and Pepito. Damn!

Leopold the Tutor : Hello. A nun. Leopold's the name. Tutoring's the game. I'm, um, Pepito's new tutor.
Miss Clavel : I'm Miss Clavel from the school next door.
Leopold the Tutor : Ah.
Miss Clavel : Pepito appears to be a bit of a handful. It seems to me he needs an outlet for his energy.
Leopold the Tutor : Well, we all do, don't we?
Miss Clavel : I thought he might appreciate this. It's a toolbox.
Leopold the Tutor : Hmm. Cheers. Um, do you mind if we talk a little shop? These, um, kids. What do you actually do to keep them occupied? Keep them out of your hair, so to speak?
Miss Clavel : Well, tomorrow, for instance, I'm taking mine to the museum.
Leopold the Tutor : The museum. Not bad. What do you do on your day off?
Miss Clavel : I pray.
