Emily: I smelled something funny earlier in the northeast corner of the kitchen.
Madonna Louise: I sprayed for ants this afternoon.
Emily: Oh, Madonna Louise, I told you never spray that poison all over the place. You simply have to kill the scout ants so they don't go back and tell the rest of them where the food is.
Madonna Louise: I know Mrs. Gilmore.
Emily: You kill the scouts, or you use the chalk that we bought in Chinatown last month.
Madonna Louise: Okay, Mrs. Gilmore.
