I believe this passage of dialogue is written incorrectly. It should say <span> "Do you want to come to my house this afternoon to practice our skit together?" Marie asked. "That's a great idea," Belle answered. "We can make plans for this Saturday, also."
Belle should start a new sentence, and thus there should be a period after "answered". Hope this helps!
On the given text the emotions that Walter puts explains how
he feels about himself, stating that “So you butchered up a dream of
mine—you—who always talking 'bout your children's dreams”
