The one with weird hand-jive, a bad pun and conflict over how hard Mike is going to be punished for the sake of punishing him.
Panel 1: John wants to punish Mike severely for playing with his toy while Elly wants to be less draconian.
Panel 2: This baffles John. How is Mike to learn that his parents are capricious idiots who are frightened of their children if they don't act the part? She asks how that's to happen if they're consistent.
Panel 3: When John says that she can't be a marshmallow (by which he means "show any sign that she has any plans to forgive Mike for taking HIS BABY!!! and doing THINGS with it"), she says that he can't be a stone.
Panel 4: Mike makes a stupid observation that makes a dumb twist on an old saw.
Summary: What none of the three zombies see is that Liz has also learned something: she's learned that her moron parents have the tunnel vision. No wonder she doesn't feel as if she fits in at home. She doesn't.
