Robert & Anna Discuss Their Daughter's Beauty
Robert's certain Duke's back in the mob again and his constant voicing of his opinions has made the Laverys mad at him.  Robert refuses to leave them alone, particularly Anna, with whom he's going overboard being overprotective.  Anna agrees to a truce to spend the day with him and Robin at the zoo.  Unknown to them all, at the very same time, Duke's in NY  being inducted into the Jerome mob.  Anna's trying to suppress her instincts that are telling her that Duke is indeed back in the mob, and stands back while Robert and Robin are having fun watching the polar bears and taking pictures.  A lady remarks to Anna that her "husband" Robert is such a good father.

Anna (to Robert): "She thought you were my husband."

Robert (playing with the camera): "Well, it's a logical conclusion."

Robert: "While we're on the subject, who do you think Robin looks like?  I mean, she has your eyes... "  (he stares intently at her)  "...dark liquid pools. Yours are somewhat deep and mysterious."

Anna: "Oh, I don't know.  She's got your nose, sort of."

Robert: "Um, well, I mean... after all, I mean, the mouth.  Now the mouth is the important part.  Your mouth could be sculptured by one of the great Greek masters, perhaps modeled on the lost bust of Aphrodite."

Anna (embarrassed by his compliments): "Bust your Aphrodite?  What are you talking about?"

Robert: "The source of your kid's beauty, her dear old mum!"  (she laughs)

Anna: "Oh, I think we should talk about something else."

Robert: "What, I'm very proud of our daughter."

Anna: "Well yes, she's gorgeous."  (looking down)  "Well, we were lucky is all."

Robert: "Luck has nothing to do with it."  (he focuses the camera at Anna)

Anna (not wanting her picture taken): "Don't you think we should go home?"

Robert: "Uh, I don't think so.  You know, a day this good.  Let's savor it and stay a bit longer."

Anna (smiles weakly): "Alright."
