Dan You know what I like?

Sven That we’re here, squirreling away some time while our friends are off at a beach house having fun?

Dan No, I don’t like that, keep up. No, I like pooping.

Sven Excuse me?

Dan I enjoy a good bowel movement, Sven.

Angry Sven Why are you telling me this?

Happy Dan I don’t know, I mean aren’t we two well adjusted guys?

Sven Perhaps.

Dan And as such we can talk about anything. No topic is taboo to today’s man! We could discuss crying.

Sven Yes, yes we could.

Dan Or meat. Or football, ponies, the economy, anything we wanted we could discuss openly and freely. That is the modern way, Sven. Are you with me?

Sven Guardedly, but yes.

Dan Well then! I declare that poop is something and it can be discussed.

Angry Sven And this is where you would run into your error.

Angry Dan What error?

Angry Sven Fecal matter is not up for discussion.

Angry Dan Why not?

Sven Daniel. I simply and truly have no desire to discuss anything that comes out of your ass.

Dan But…

Happy Sven Yes, fine, except if there were monkeys actually flying out of it. But only then.

Dan But, I enjoy a good poop.

Sven Why must you even call it that?

Dan What? Poop?

Sven Yes, you make it sound … it is as if you want it to sound cute and cuddly. It is not cute nor should it be cuddled. It is shit. Fecal matter. Excrement.

Dan Eh, poop sounds funny. Poop poop poop.

Sven Regardless. I do not care if you enjoy it or not. We are not discussing your … poop.

Dan Man, Sven. I didn’t know you were this uptight.

Sven I’m not uptight!

Dan I dunno.

Sven Just because I do not wish to discuss this one thing with you?

Dan Yup.

Sven So with everyone else you freely discuss your, what was it?

Dan Love of pooping.

Sven Yes, that. Everyone else is fine with this?

Dan No, some of them are uptight, as well.

Sven Perhaps we are not uptight, we simply don’t want to discuss…

Happy Dan Uptight.

Angry Sven Argh!

Happy Dan Oh, relax Sven. You know what you need?

Sven A drink.

Dan That too, but also? Go poop, it’ll relax you.

Angry Sven I saw that line coming. I did. I tried to avoid it but…

Happy Dan The inevitability of the moment seized you and overtook all possible alternate outcomes?

Sven Pretty much.

Dan Neat.
