Alice: First, let me point out The Petey's bookshelves. Note the care with which he gathers and stores comic books, catalogs and expired pizza coupons. Beni: Ah! Alice: Now we pass The Petey's window, which serves no evident purpose as he's never once looked out of it. On to the under-bed area. Here The Petey keeps the shoebox diroamas he fashions to make sense of a big, confusing world. Dill: Ah-ha. Alice: Finally, The Petey himself. Note how his gaze does not flicker from the reading material, and yet he maintains an instinctive awareness of our presence. Petey: ALICE - Beni: Ah. Petey: They're "graphic novels," not "comic books." Alice: Thank you! Please come again! Dill: That was very enjoyable! Beni: It was like a TV nature shoe, but with the nature part removed.
I think it is sweet how tolerant the Petey is toward his twisted sister. Most big brothers would be screaming at multiple short people invading their space.
