Mom:  Vuoi un regalo? (Do you want a gift?)

Mom: Ti regalo... (I am going to give you...)

Tronk: Cosa? (What?)

Mom: ... un sorriso! (... a smile!)

Tronk: oh, sei troppo generosa! (oh, you are too generous!)

Mom: Scusa devo andare in cucina. Sta bruciando tutto! (sorry, I have got to go to the kitchen. It it is all burning!)

Mom: Forse e' meglio se prima finisci di colorare il coccodrillo (Perhaps it's better if you color the crocodile first)
