The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Re-establish the scene. We're in Reggie's bedroom, Reggie and Babbette the elder are both sitting on his bed. Reggie is clad in boxer shorts, Babbette in a shirt. Bed covers are tousled – definitely an 'after a wild night' scene. Reggie is looking perplexed, Babbette is smiling and has a hand on his knee in a gesture of reassurance.
Babbette: Silly goose, I just 'kissed' the bottle.
Babbette: I stayed sober, got you drunk and took advantage of you!

Panel 2
Closer 2-shot of Reggie and Babbette – Babbette is leaning into the frame now so she can put that same hand on Reggie's shoulder. Reggie is still looking perplexed, Babbette is still grinning like the cat who caught the canary.
Babbette: Don't worry, you had a great time.

Panel 3
Medium close-up of Reggie, now emboldened, and grinning as he speaks.
Reggie: You know, Babbette, I have always been attracted to you … from afar.

Panel 4
Two-shot. Now Babbette is holding one of Reggie's hands in both of hers. Now her smile is more demure. He is laughing.
Babbette: Right back at you, Reggie.
Babbette: And that was even before you were His Royal Majesty, Reginald the First, King of all Ceres and Protector of the Minor Planets.
Reggie: Hahahahahaha!

Panel 5
Looking over Reggie's shoulder at Babbette.
Reggie: But why now?
Babbette: Last night, seeing my granddaughter bite the bullet, admit her mistakes and bravely express her most intimate fears and feelings, inspired me.

Panel 6
Medium close-up on Babbette, looking sweet as can be.
Babbette: I have been sweet on you too, for a long time, but was afraid to show it.
Babbette: I realized what a silly goose I have been. So, I decided to act on my feelings.

Panel 7
Full shot of the two of them on the bed, closing out the scene.
Reggie: In all truthfulness, I don't remember the end of the evening, but oh what a glorious beginning!
Babbette: Did you know little Babbette's secret?
Reggie: Indeed I did, indeed I did ...
