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.

I don't really think it works like that... but it's still not a good idea!

Well I guess you'd be the expert on that.

What, because of my character? Heh, I guess I know a thing or two!

[he can't believe this is real]

How does a kid like you survive in show business?

It's called having charisma, and being hipper than hip!

[Well, it's not like he's gotten much in the way of acting work recently.]

To the max!

Yeah? So what else have you been in?

Well, I mean, I've been focusing on Heckbusters for more of my acting career, you know... [He admits nervously.] B-but I've totally made some rad cameo appearances in some of my father's flicks! My face is out there, man.

[so that's how it is. damn. is that a bit of empathy he's feeling?? zoro sighs.]

You're having a hard time with work too, huh? Just come out and say it. I won't blame you.

What? No. No! No trouble here! All is well in the house of Wagner! I- I'm just working on my education right now, that's all! A-and I totally have modeling gig lined up, and Heckbusters is just on hiatus man!

Stuttering ruins lies, you know.

L-lies?! Who said I was lying about anything? Or... or s-stuttering, for that matter?!

[there's just

a silence

as zoro looks up at the sky and wonders why he's still here]

Fess up or I'm hanging up.

What?! After all we've been through, you'll hang up over something like this?! B-b-but I've got nothing so say!

That's just more of a reason to hang up.

And yet you're still here! You're all talk. Literally!

[OK FINE THEN HE HANGS UP]
