Dexter: Arch, Arch, what’s this white stuff?
Archie: It’s snow, Pipsqueak.
Dexter: It doesn’t smell. It doesn’t taste. But my paws are cold – and it’s skiddy!
Archie: The first time I saw snow, I was five months younger than you are now. And we had a trampoline. Snow’s fun.
Dexter: I’m cold. I’m going in for a biscuit and a cuddle.

Dexter: Why do they say the North Sea is cold, Arch? It’s lovely!
Archie: You’re such a water-baby, Pipsqueak.
Dexter: I’m going to splash you…

Dexter: Arch, it’s so hot. I hate this.
Archie: Pipsqueak, take heart – Chloe’s going to fill the paddling pool.
Dexter: (watches, then charges in) Wahey!

Dexter: Arch, I’m going to help Dad with the garden.
Archie: I don’t think Dad’s very pleased with all the holes you’ve dug in the lawn. And you harvested the carrots before they were ready. And you tried to dig up the potatoes.
Dexter: But I can help!
Archie: He’s watering. You’re going to get wet.
Dexter: Like I did at the river? Yay!

Dexter: Arch, are you sure that’s not too deep?
Archie: Pipsqueak, you’re the one who keeps telling me how long your legs are. Come on in – the water’s lovely!

Dexter: How do you do that, Arch?
Archie: What?
Dexter: Get biscuits to go in your mouth.
Archie: Mum throws the biscuit, you watch it, and you grab it out of the air, Pipsqueak. Easy-peasy.
(Dexter tries a few times and fails)
Dexter: I can’t do this.
Archie: Yes, you can. Watch me. Remember to open your mouth, otherwise it’ll bounce off your nose.

(Dexter watches and tries again)
Dexter: Yay!

Dexter: Arch, what’s Chloe doing? What’s that green thing floating down?

Archie: It’s a balloon, Pipsqueak.
Dexter: So it’s like a ball?
Archie: Sort of. You leap up and head it. Don’t use your teeth or it’ll go bang. You can’t squeak it like our tennis balls. Just bop it with you nose, like you bop Mum’s new tower fan. Only don’t bark at it because that’s getting really annoying.
Dexter: So you sit and wait, and then you jump.

Archie: That’s right.

(Dexter plays balloon football… and enjoys it.)

Dexter: One, two, skip a few, ninety-nine, one hundred! Coming – ha ha, found you.

Archie: Pipsqueak, that is extreme cheating.
Dexter: But the ‘seek’ bit of hide and seek is boring… unless there’s a treat.
Archie: All right. You can hide.
Dexter: I’ve got the best place. Watch!

Archie (sighing) : Puppies. You have to be nice and pretend. It’s like toddlers — you say, ‘Ooh, where’s he hiding?’ and they just give themselves away. Except obviously puppies don’t giggle, they wag their tails…

Dexter: I’ve got the best toy ever. It’s something you can chase and chase and chase, and it takes ages to catch…
