Damaging the house for the sake of a little discipline

A boy in a salir suit (Naval authority) comes into a bathroom where the bathtub (U.S. Naval waste and inefficiency) is overflowing. In a second scene the boy runs down the stairs calling, "Oh Papa! Papa!" A third scene shows the boy in a living room (American security household) trying to talk to a man (politicians) sitting on a chair reading a book (how to get votes) with some papers (political outlook) scattered on the floor. The man tells the boy, "KEEP QUIET! How many times do I have to tell you to stop yelling in this house? SIT DOWN AN' DRY UP!" Meanwhile, some water has started to drip over the living room.
