>WAKE MR LINDER
He's wide awake, or haven't you noticed?

>WAKE MONICA
You wouldn't like that.

Of course you need a different response for Monica because she's a woman, but in this case even someone at Infocom seems to have been confused about the message:

<ROUTINE V-ALARM ()
     <COND (<==? ,PRSO ,CAT>
        <TELL
"The cat yawns, licks its lips, and settles down again." CR>)
           (<==? ,PRSO ,MONICA>
        <TELL "You wouldn't like that." CR>)    ;"?"
           (<FSET? ,PRSO ,PERSON>
        <TELL "He's wide awake, or haven't you noticed?" CR>)
           (ELSE
        <TELL
"Too bad, but" THE-PRSO " isn't asleep." CR>)>>
