Am I right?

INT. BEDROOM --JUST NOW
After watching The Greg Behrendt Show (He's just not that into, well, he kinda-sorta hates you), Daughter decides to check in on Dad.
Daughter (interrogation style):
What's going on in here?

Dad, laying prostrate. Reading Lundlum's Bancroft Strategy.

Dad(points to lamp):
Got a new light source.
Daughter:
Good so you can read.

Dad:
It aids me in the art of reclination.
Daughter:
Reclining.

Dad:
Yes, recliniation.
Daughter:
Declination.

Dad:
It makes reading more com fort able.

SECONDS PASS
Dad:
Could you hand me a pencil?

Daughter turns on selective hearing. She's just not that into Dad.

Dad (cont'd):
Really, it's the third typo I've seen in this book. Kind of shockin--

Daughter, realizing:
It's not a typo, it's a secret code! Find out which letters are missing and the page numbers. Unscramble the letters (hands over pencil), and write them on the last page. They'll lead you to a safety deposit box which contains all the names of everyone ever who will win a Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes. By accepting this pencil, the fate of national security is in your hands.
Dad:
Nevermind I'll just dog ear.

MOMENTS LATER
Dad, unsolicited:
Yeah, I really liked Ludlum's other books, the Bourne Identity stuff. Didn't they make that into a movie? With what's his name Matt, ...um, Matt Daymone?

Daugther:
Don't try to act like it's the first time you're saying that name! Like I didn't read it last night in your diary!

Dad:
Damon, yes. Well, I saw the movie and--

Daughter:
Dear Diary, I saw Matt Damon on TV today. He is just so cute--

Dad:
I thought they did a good job--

Daughter:
And those dimples!

Dad:
I think I'm probably going to end up with Alzheimers.


.:HAPPY HOLIDAYS:.
