This box is miraculous...when it buzzes, people jump up and feed the cat and all is as it should be. Molly B. pushes the box to the edge of the stand-one more push and it will fall on the floor, causing the noise that will save the peoples, earning Molly their eternal gratitude. Just before the crucial moment, The Woman opens her eyes and grabs the buzzy box. She makes a funny face and says, "I've got another half hour!" [in human, which of course, Molly, as a sophisticated student of primitive languages, understands perfectly...although she often pretends not to...in order to better study primitive beings unobtrusively]. When the woman closes her eyes, Molly stomps back across the bed. Finally The Man sees some sense and says, "I might as well get up..."
