Alice: Why are you making a shoebox diorama? School's out! Petey: This one's for me. I have to challenge myself! See? It's a self-portrait of me making a diorama! And the diorama I'm making is this diorama and the diorama I'm making in that one is this one, and on and on and smaller and smaller and smaller. It's called a Droste image. Alice: It's like a genius thing! Mom says she bets you'll be a college professor. Petey: Heh. Alice: Then Dad said, "or a hermit who shows up on a TV game show and wins a million bucks for knowing some weird random thing." Do the game show hermit, OK? They can get a shot of me in my party dress waving from the audience! Petey: You betcha.
