Pete: After dinner, we can play 52 pickup!
(beat)
Pete: When you have cards, and you drop a few of them on the floor, that's 52 pickup!
Carolyn (gently): Um, I don't think that's right.
Pete: Yes! You can drop one card, and it's 52 pickup!
Carolyn: I think that would be one pickup. See, a whole deck of cards has 52 in it, so when you drop the whole thing, you call that 52 pickup.
Pete (with pity): No.
