“Hey! Lemme in!”
No, you can stay out there a little while longer.
“Come on!”
Nope.
“Okay! You win!”
What was that? Did you say something?
“You win!”
Anything else?
“Ugh. Okay. I’m sorry.”
For what?
“I’m sorry I stole your Zippo.”
A little better.
“And I’m sorry I spilled the container of gasoline.”
Okay, anything else?
“I’m sorry I burned down half the porch.”
Okay.
“Can I come in now?
You can.
“That was scary. Can I lay on the couch next to you?”
Okay, come on up.
“You know, I just wanted to set fire to the neighbor’s Chihuahua.”
Drop it, Iggy —
“Not even all of him! I just wanted to light the tip of his tail!”
Iggy —
“Like a fuse!”
Iggy —
“A furry little yip bomb!”
No.
“Ha ha! ‘Yip yip yip BOOM!'”
“Heh. Yeah.”
Iggy.
“Yeah?”
Get back outside.
“Aw, dammit.”
