You think he’ll last long?

As long as can be expected.

Isn’t that kind of…harsh?

It will be whatever I want it to be.

Are you okay?

No, I’m not.

Oh. I kind of figured you were in a bad mood…

I am NOT in a bad mood!

Okay. Sure. I’ll just leave then.

Good idea.

What now?

It seems like…

Well? Speak up.

I don’t know….

SPILL!

Okay. It seems to me like he should get…help.

Help. Help. Help? HELP? Who do you think I am, God? I cannot help him! He has to help himself; that’s his purpose.

Yeah…but…he seems so…vulnerable.

Vulnerable? Vulnerable to what?

I don’t know…the world in general.

Of course he's vulnerable! He's only one hundred and six years old!

Sorry. Yes. Of course, I knew he was young….

Thenwhy did you say anything about it?

It just seems like he needs…help.

If that’s all you have to say, get out of my agency.

YOUR agency? Last I checked it was OUR agency, and last I checked, I was the superior.

Sorry.

You should be.

Okay. It’s just that…UGGH! You are so AGRAVATING at times!

Be that as it may, I AM the father here….so….

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, FATHER, what do you propose we do?

Help him.

Help him how?

Well…that’s the fun part.

It is?

Yes. Because now….we get creative!
