The Fish Is Captured

Character 1 – Dude, you are completely suffocating me. Can you just back off a little?

Character 2 – I can’t!

1 – And why not?

2 – Isn’t it obvious?

1 – Well, if I wasn’t blind it would be more clear!

2 – Clear is the word! I am vast in space, it is you that is crammed by your others.

1 – Maybe it is your head that is vast! Do you know ANYTHING?

2 – If I had a head and a brain, I think that would help…

1 – Then what in the world are you?

2 – In the world I am, and on the world too.

1 – What are you? A freakin’ fortune cookie?

2 – I wish – they don’t smell like a flippin’ poptart!

1 – Are you saying I smell?

2 – Well, that is my assumption seeing that the beings that smell me smell often, but then again that is my assumption.

1 – Whoa – don’t do that! You just made me think.

2 – Which is another thing that you cannot do.

1 – But think about this: We can’t really talk in real life anyway.

2 – One, I can’t think either; two, we both don’t live.

1 – You really need to stop doing that Mr. Know-it-all.

2 – Saying I am a mister is also an incorrect statement, seeing that I have no gender.

1 – Shut your face, you – you…

2 – Be nice, now.

1 – Am I capable, Man Woman It thing?

2 – I laugh, ha ha.

1 – Wow, you REALLY have no emotion, do you?

2 – Now there’s a topic –

1 – But if you only had a brain…

2 – Don’t make me punch you in the throat!

1 – Do I even have a throat? Do YOU have an arm?

2 – Finally you are catching on!

1 – Onto what?

2 – This topic, silly.

1 – Which would BE??

2 – Hmmm…Good question. Our topic…is about…who we…ARE. Or ‘what’, in our case.

1 – Wow again. You really are a strange character.

2 – As are you, my friend.

1 – Whoa, whoa. Who said we were friends?

2 – A little fishy told me.

1 – Well that little fishy can be kicked in the fishy shin on its fishy way to the bottom of its sea.

2 – Which isn’t far away – well, if it were in a sea.

1 – So you’re saying there are more of me in here?

2 – Well, not more of YOU, but things like you.

1 – You are way confusing. Where are we even?

2 – The real question is: Where are YOU?

1 – Hmmm...Enlighten me with your all-knowing knowledge.

2 – I’m flattered.

1 – Wait – I thought you had no emotions…?

2 – Well, if I did, I would be flattered.

1 – But you never answered the question!

2 – What question?

1 – Oh, my gosh. Now I’m annoyed and still suffocating!

2 – If you could breathe…

1 – Somebody should slap you…

2 – Many people do…But not exactly ‘slapping’, per say…

1 – Here we go again…

2 – We go many places...Usually starting out dim, then light, then dark…many weird and scary places, but sometimes homey and lovely and pretty pla –

1 – Now someone should slap with you with a fuzzy bunny slipper with CLEATS on them!

2 – Violence is not the answer. Didn’t your mom teach you anything?

1 – I have a mom?

2 – No. That’s just payback…

1 – Errr – YOU –

2 – I laugh at you – Ha ha.

1 – I wish a shark would eat you!

2 – But I am not the one to be eaten.

1 – But you are the one to be quiet.

2 – I shall not be silenced!

1 – But you SHALL be kicked in the face!

2 – If I had a –

1 – SHUT UP, YOU –

2 – Omg –

1 – Don’t use fancy TEXT languages with me!

2 – Then what should I use? Would it be easier if I…taaa-lllkked…. slllllowwerrr… fooorrrrr yooooooouuuu…??

1 – I am beyond angry right now…

2 – Emotion – if only, if only.

1 – If only I could see, then I’d know what you are…and what I am…

2 – I’ll tell you, if you want.

1 – Really? What’s the catch?

2 – You are, my buddy!

1 – So I’m a fish?

2 – In a way…

1 – In what way?

2 – Some…ways…

1 – And…those ways would beeee…?

2 – You kinda look alike…

1 – So I’m made of wood? Like a sculpture?

2 – No.

1 – Am I made of ice?

2 – No.

1 – Then what AM I?

2 – You are delicious!

1 – Wow, I know I’m fabulous, but delicious…?

2 – Ha ha. Don’t flatter yourself.

1 – So I am edible?

2 – Yes.

1 – But wait, are you?

2 – No.

1 – Huh?

2 – We are very different, my friend.

1 – Didn’t we already talk about this friend thing?

2 – My buddy, my pal, guess what you are!

1 – I don’t know…

2 – I’ll give you a hint: I carry you around, and your friends alike.

1 – Hmmm…I’m delicious…I’m edible…Oh, no! I’m not a Poptart, am I?

2 – No, no. But you’re getting warmer!

1 – Am I fruitilicious?

2 – Yes!

1 – Wait, that was a joke!

2 – Guess!

1 – Oh, my gosh – JUST TELL ME WHAT WE ARE!

2 – Well you are a Swedish Fish – my friend – and I am the bag that holds you!
