HEY CARL!
SETTING: Carl’s house.
Joe: Hey Carl! What’s up?
Carl: Just sitting and throwing away recyclables… It’s really fun Carl is throwing stuff.
Mariah: Why are you just throwing away recyclables for fun?
Carl: ‘Cause it’s fun!
Joe: Recyclables are called recyclables because they’re supposed to be recyclable in the recyclable bin, which is why they’re called recyclables!
Carl: Whatever. Continues throwing recyclables.
Mariah: Catches recyclable in midair and throws it into the recycling bin. SEE?!? All you have to do is throw! … Not walk to the other of the room for every bottle you drink.
Carl: Yeah, you guys are right! Destroying the world isn’t as fun as I thought!
