| Woman: (Nervously) Um. I want to make three quick points about this whole business with the fence. (Glances at first card) Point one. Appearence, I don't like the looks of it. I know that we've been having alot of fires and robberies, terrorism, but I still don't like putting one of those ugly chain fences around the entire neighborhood. Even in the brochure, it looks unattractive. That awful barbed wire. Those ghastly gates. I don't care how much planting and landscaping we do--we are still going to look like a concentration camp. And that's point one. (Next card) Point two. Inconvient. The whole thing is going to be terribly inconvient. I hate the idea of having to get out of my car, to put my ID card in to those gates just so that they can open and I can get home. And what about deliveries? How do the cleaners, and the milkman, and the egg man get in? The brochure simply doesn't say. (Next card) Point three, and then I'll sit down. What about dogs? The fence is electrified, remember. We can train our children to stay away from it, but what about dogs? Or do we have to tie them up? I refuse to do that frankly. You know Rosie, our old Lab, it would kill her to be tied up. I won't do it. So what I suggest is we do this, I suggest that we call our friends in Shaker Heights, and Concord, and Palo Alto, and all the other places which have put in those fences, and we find out a few more details. I mean, I'm just not sure a fence is the best idea. |
