(holding up a perfume spray bottle)

Jungle Passion fruit spray?

BUDDY

Fruit spray? Sure.

(BUDDY takes the bottle from her and sprays it into
his mouth. He instantly goes into a childlike fit. The SALESWOMAN takes the bottle away from him, gives a look and hurries off. The department MANAGER comes up to BUDDY.)
