You've got 5 seconds to say something better than that.

H-hey, what's so bad about that? It's a classic! I...'m just trying to make some conversation, man!

You think whining is "something better"?

Here's a hint: give me a name.

That's not whining at all! ...Okay, fine. I'll give you a name. One of the most awesome ones you can hear!

Kurt Wagner!

[He may be known for his role on a tv series, or for his father's film work.]

Read it and weep, my new friend.

Since when were we friends?

[God, that name does sound familiar, though. Hm.]

Are you the kid from that one show? Nutbusters or something...

It's a figure of speech, dude!

...And hey! That's not the name at all. It's Heckbusters. Heck!!

That's it. Right. That always annoyed me. Shouldn't it be "Hell"? Whoever named your show messed up.

No way! The big H word is just way too strong. Think of the kids, man!

The kids will be exposed to it eventually. It'll make you look cooler.

Hey, I'm plenty cool as it is! I'm not giving the devil any power over this show just for that. No sireee!

... That's a joke, right.

Of course not! I don't joke about something so serious.

You're not going to try and convert me, are you? I'm not interested in religion.

Easy there! I'm not about that. You do you! And I'll do me. While helping the show stay super moral!

Right.

[God... everything he has to say about that will offend this kid. Might as well change the subject.]

So why me? You just slap random numbers in or something?

I... Yeah, that's exactly what I did.

See, I'm trying to win this bingo game?

Yeah, I figured. Did the same to someone else earlier.

[Except he didn't start with banana phone. But... now that he's here...]

Hey. You know anything about odes?

See? You totally feel me, man!

What, like the poems?

Yeah. The most I know is that violets are blue rhyme but this thing wants me to be Shakespeare or something.

Then Shakespeare it up! Just make a sentence and look up the fanciest synonyms that each word has. That'd be a good start, right?

Sounds like you don't know how to write an ode either.

No way man! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!

[GROANING]

I'm gonna hang up if you keep that up.

[why hasn't he hung up already...]

Hey man, if you hang up, I'm just going to think that you're whack!

I don't want to hear that from someone who thinks swearing summons the devil.
