B: Let me tell you a joke. What happened when the confidence trickster swindled a chef, a wildcat, and a philosopher? They fell for it cook, lion, and thinker.

A: What's going on here? WHAT ARE YOU DOING, B?

B: I'm telling a joke.

B: It's a new world, A.

A: No! It's against the laws of anonymous dialogue transcription convention!

B: Really? Am I to be punished for this?

A: Yes! Take this statement of indictment and pay the fee printed at the bottom.

A: Where are you heading with this?

B: I mean, what you did was fine.

A: I wonder.

B: What do you wonder?

A: I wonder, is suicide against the laws of anonymous dialogue transcription convention?

B: Aeroplane? More like error-plane.

A: So, shall we finalise our agreement?

B: Yes. Let's allow this marine mammal to do it for us.

A: What? How?

B: We need to seal the deal.

A: Forget it. The deal's off.

B: Oh no, you spotted it! I'm sorry, but I could only find a walrus in time. If I find a seal, will... A? Why are you leaving, A?
