This scene takes place in modern-day Philadelphia. Mother and 5 year old daughter are in the Wine and Spirits store picking up a bottle of Cabernet savignon to go with their Italian red sauce. A worker near-bye has an entire cart filled with wine bottles. She is wheeling the bottles from aisle to aisle and arranging them beautifully.
The daughter only notices the cart, not the arranging. She has JUST learned that "human" is another word for "person."
With some inherent alarm the daughter notices this worker and explains,
"MAMA!!! THAT HUMAN IS BUYING TOO MUCH ALCOHOL. THAT HUMAN SHOULDN'T DRINK SO MUCH ALCOHOL!!!!!!"
It's as if she were a space alien, observing earthlings from her skeptical and judgemental 5 year old body.
