pug dog

Mr. Day receives a package and assumes it's for him, but it's actually for his son Clarence. The package contains a suit of clothes from McClary's, and Mr. Day becomes concerned about the cost. His wife assures him that it's a mock charge and won't cost him anything because they traded their pug dog for the suit. However, Mr. Day becomes confused and thinks he's being charged $15 for the pug dog. His wife tries to explain that they returned the dog, but Mr. Day is insistent that he won't be charged for either the suit or the dog. The conversation becomes heated when Mr. Day expresses his dislike for a botanical item in the room. This is for you, Mr. Day. Where shall I put it? Oh, that's for me, I think. Take it upstairs, Maggie. Wait a minute, Maggie. Bring it here. Let's see it. See, it's for me, Father. Clarence Day, Jr. I mean, look. That's for McClary's. It's mock charge. What is it? Clare, it's all right. It's nothing for you to worry about. Well, at least I think I should know what's being charged to me. What is it? Clare, stop your fussing. It's a new suit of clothes for Clarence, and it isn't costing you a penny. It's mock charge $15. It's costing me $15. And I told Clarence... Clare, can't you take my word it isn't costing you a penny? I'd like to have you explain why it isn't. Because Clarence took the pug dog back and got the suit instead. Of course. And they've charged me $15 for the suit. Nonsense, Clare. We gave them the pug dog for the suit, don't you see? Then they've charged me $15 for the pug dog. But Clare, they can't. We haven't got the pug dog. We said that back. But... Hmm? But... Oh, no. Wait a minute, Vinnie. The suit... Well, there's something wrong with your reasoning. But Clare, I'm surprised at you when you're supposed to be so good at figures. That's perfectly clear to me. Vinnie, they're going to charge me for one thing or the other. Don't you let them. Yeah. Well, McQuarrie's aren't giving away suits and they aren't giving away pug dogs. Why, it should be clear to a child that if Clarence sent the pug dog back, they... What? I will not have that botanical freak in this room.
