how are you today?

confident.

confident! that is great news. confident enough to look for a job?

i did not say that.

but you did not not say it either. i am going to take it that you are.

let’s not go overboard here.

you said you felt confident. remember that job i lined up for you with general grant two weeks ago? but you did not feel up to? but now you do! i am going to call ————— right now.

wait!

u s? barbara f here.. remember that job you had for babe last week or the week before. well, that’s great.

(the person he hired just quit.) well,babe is up for it now. yes, he is so excited to take it he can’t talk. i will send him right over.

i need some time to pull myself together.

you are together. and full of confidence, remember? and full of sass and vinegar and beans and all that.

i need to brush my teeth.

what is that going to take, three days?

why not? it took noah three days to build the ark.

that was just a story somebody made up.

no, it was on television.

just brush your teeth if you must. the general is waiting for you. in case you forgot the address, here it is.

the general has been waiting for me all my life.

then what is the problem?

he wants to kill me - to get me killed. so does the rest of the human race.

stop being a big baby.

you don’t understand - you don’t know what they are capable of.

the general is a man of peace. that is why they call him the general.
