Marie is feeling blue, and Paul tries to
cheer her up.
Cheryl: Marie, you’ve been so quiet. Are
you OK?
Marie: I’m just a little down in the dumps.
Cheryl: Oh, I’m sorry. We’ve been arguing about colors
and you’re feeling blue. Hmm. Blue...
Paul: What’s wrong, Marie?
Marie: Don’t know. I can’t put my finger on it. I’ve
just been feeling... out of sorts.
Paul: Don’t worry. I can help. Dr. Cheer is
here.
Marie: Doctor who?
Paul: At school, people called me Dr. Cheer because I’m
always happy and I enjoy cheering people up.
Bob: You know, that’s true. You’re always
cheering me up.
Marie: How do you do that?
Paul: I practice laughing every day.
Marie: Laughing at what?
Paul: Nothing. I just choose to laugh.
Marie: You just decide to laugh? I can’t do
that. It’s not in my nature.
Paul: How do you know? Just try it. Let me
hear you laugh.
Marie: Ha-ha.
Paul: Louder.
Marie: HA-HA.
Paul: Come on, keep laughing. You’re right.
It’s not your personality.
Marie: What now, Dr. Cheer?
Paul: Chocolate?
Marie: Yes!
Paul: Works every time.
