Mrs Williams: (pauses the TV) we need to talk, honey.
Mr Williams: Talk? About you?
Mrs Williams: Our daughter
Mr Williams: You mean Alero?
Mrs Williams: Do you have any other daughter?
Mr Williams: So what about Alero?
Mrs Williams: Alero is an intelligent girl who has a passion for knowledge but that dyslexia is a hindrance to her goal.
Mr Williams: So, what do you suggest, my darling?
Mrs Williams: Hmmmm..... We can also get her a specialist to improve her ability to read, write, see and speak besides the one she already has in school. That one can only do so little for her.
Mr Williams: Good idea, but how do we go about it?
Mrs Williams: I have a childhood friend who I think can connect me to a specialist.
Mr Williams: That is why I married you, your intelligence is outstanding.
Mrs Williams: (Giggles and then gives her husband a peck)
(Light out)
