ANOTHER CONVERSATION BETWEEN 1 AND 2

1: "Hello, my name is Peterson Thurston the Fourth."

2: "I thought you said you were the Third."

1: "I know, but I was lying those other times."

2: "Why would you lie about something like that?"

1: "Everything will be revealed in due time."

2: "The bus is going to be here in a few minutes."

1: "Don't you see, Hamilton? The bus will never come."

2: "My name isn't Hamilton."

1: "The bus will never come, Hamilton, because it's been here the whole time."

2: "What?"

1: "You are the bus, Hamilton. It's always been you."

2: "You know what, Peterson? I'm not a bus. You are. You're a big yellow school bus with exhaust coming out of your butt. How do you like that?"

1: "I'm not a bus, so you must be speaking metaphorically, referring to my obesity. That's mean, Hamilton. I thought we were better friends than that."

2: "I…I didn't mean it that way."

1: "Friends don't treat each other like fiends. Do you see what I did there? I took the R out of friends and it became fiends. Do you know what the R stands for? It stands for rude, and I don't stand for rudeness."

2: "I'm sorry, Peterson."

1: "It's okay, Ham-Bus. Hey, what's that over there!"

2: "What? What is it?"

1: "Just kidding. It's only a lion. And I'm not lion. Do you see what I did there? I said lion instead of burnt toast. Now let's close our eyes so hard we cease to exist."
