Deadpan Vs. Need

(Young woman speaking to herself and sitting in front of a large mirror leaning against the wall.)

Red: No, Blue. No, you may not have it.

Blue: Why not? I'm not going to do anything anyway...

Red: Not? Going to do anything? 'Pining over it' would probably be classified under 'doing anything'.

Blue: In which alienable book would that be in?

Red: None of mine, obviously.

Blue: Even if it were, you wouldn't say it. It would thus be alienable and therefore... Mine.

Red: Technically if it's mine it would be yours as well, and by no means of acquisition...

Blue: Touché and I may so have what I want.

Red: Wrong, again. You may not.

Blue: I don't understand you.

Red: You don't understand you, can you be expected to understand anyone else?

Blue: I take offence to that.

Red: Funny since you're on the fence with everything else.

Blue: That's not what I meant but since you brought it up, you have a zit under your nose.

Red: Well aware, thank you. It's about to be more pronounced. I'll give it a few days.

Blue: If it were about to be more pronounced shouldn't you at least give it a few more vowels?

Red: Ha, I forget that you're a comedienne.

Blue: Much obliged.

*silence for 2 minutes*


Blue: What should I do?

Red: About it? Nothing.
