Tom: Hello.
Miranda: Hi, daddy.
Tom: Hey, pal. What are you doing?
Miranda: I wanna come see you at work.
Tom: You want to come down and see me?
Miranda: I want to do your job. Sit at your desk.
Tom: You do? What will I do for a job then?
Miranda: You do my job.
Tom: What is your job?
Miranda: Watch TV.
Tom: I can get paid to watch TV? Sounds good. How do I get paid to watch TV?
Miranda: You press the button and when the thing opens up you put in the DVD. It comes on the screen.
Tom: Yes, pal, that's how the DVD player works. Who is going to pay me?
Miranda: Me.
Tom: Where are you going to get money from?
Miranda: My wallet.
Tom: How does money get in your wallet?
Miranda: I put it there.
Tom: Where does that money come from?
Miranda: The bank, silly!
Tom: How does the bank get money for you?
Miranda: I'm going to be rich when I grow up!
Tom: We can only hope. Pal, how are you going to be rich if your job is to watch TV and you pay yourself?
Miranda: I mean I'll be poor.
Tom: Nah, you'll do something you love and make tons of money like the rest of us.
Miranda: Okay, done now. Love you, daddy.
Tom: Love you too, pal.
