Melissa: Benjamin, what we do here is talk about our past week, and people ask questions, afterwards.

Benjamin: Okay, and?

Melissa: That about sums it up. Tell us about your week, Benjamin.

Benjamin: Ain't nothing to say.

Melissa: Do you have a job, Benjamin?

Benjamin: No.

Melissa: You must have done something, Benjamin.

Benjamin: Will you shut up?! Stop asking me so many questions!

Melissa: Benjamin, that's not nice! You don't have to be rude!

Benjamin: Okay, I just went walking! Happy?

Sean Lamothe: Mel just asked you a question about your week, Benjamin! No need to be rude!

Benjamin: Sorry!

Melissa: Anything else? Did you eat something good?

Benjamin: Burger King. Oh, and I read some of Will's stories on Wattpad.

Melissa: Wow!!! What did you think of them! He's an excellent writer, Benjamin!

Benjamin: Pure trash, is all I gotta say about them!

Melissa: Now, why would you say that?

Me: My stories are entertaining, Benjamin!

Benjamin: Well, you put me in them!

Joe: How is that trash? You want to fly off the handle like that, and be rude, then, we're gonna have words, let me tell ya!

Benjamin: His stories are always about me, getting into humiliating situations! Like getting crushed by a piano, being tied up, and eating food I hate!

Melissa: I don't see anything wrong with his stories, Benjamin! They make me laugh! He write humiliating situations about me all the time, and I'm cool with it!

Me: Exactly!

Benjamin: He writes about people in caskets!

Melissa: I know! He wrote about me in a casket, and I laughed!

Sean Lamothe: I did, too! Chill out, Benjamin! We love Will's stories!

Benjamin: Will is a loser.

Melissa: Benjamin, no put downs, please. We don't antagonize anyone here.

Benjamin: Whatever.

Melissa: Let's ask some questions for Benjamin.

Benjamin: How about you all shut up?!

Melissa: You're being totally rude right now. I find your behavior, totally unacceptable.
