(Scene: Yet again, a normal, boring midweek day. Our girl K is excited about getting an iPhone, but not for any of the reasons that one would normally suspect. Her friend M supports the excitement, but it’s because it benefits him as well. Two nerds are better than one. Three are even better, but that’s another story. Cue lights…)
K: So, I get my new phone on Saturday…and I really want to have a lightsaber fight with someone, so if you could get your droid here pretty soon, that would be awesome.
M: I’m hoping to get it soon. A lightsaber battle would be awesome.
K: I’m being serious about that, just so you know.
M: I know. So am I.
K: I’m going to be really disappointed if the Android and iPhone cannot work together. In fact, we might have to have a backup plan if the phones aren’t compatible.
M: I can steal Mackey’s iPhone and use that.
K: YES. That’s a great plan.
M: If you had 2 iPhones, you could tape them together and have a Darth Maul double lightsaber.
K: Matt, I think you just blew my mind.
M: iPhones and duct tape are probably pretty compatible
K: Now all we need is a dog that looks like Chewbacca.
K: I wonder if that dog actually looks like that or if they hair-sprayed it to death to get that “style”
M: I hope it normally looks like that. That would be so much better.
K: Oh my gosh, I wonder what its growl sounds like…
M: Judging by the size, probably not very intimidating.
K: I wonder if there’s a way you could amplify/modify the sound waves to make it sound like a Wookie call….
M: Probably. But how would that sound when it barks?
(Pause……)
M: I hope you’re not trying to imitate the sound at your computer.
K: Uhhhmmm….what if i am? And I’m thinking it would sound more like a velociraptor than a wookie…
M: I just remember your attempt at a wookie growl was less than stellar yesterday.
K: I have trouble with making growling sounds…or rolling my “R’s” for that matter. I would make a horrible pirate.
M: Plus pirates don’t use lightsabers.
K: Exactly. But they do drink rum, and I could do that.
M: You might just have to create a new type of pirate. One that speaks properly and uses a lightsaber, but still drinks rum.
K: A socially-evolved pirate. Classy. I like it.
M: And instead of a parrot, you get a dog that looks like a wookie.
K: Yarrrrrrrrrrr.
