George : I never claimed it was extraordinarily bad . It was just average , the kind of runs a food poisoning victim would experience .
John : Then why even mention it in the book ?
George : You can't maintain a logical narrative , John , unless you explain why someone's rushing to the bathroom every five minutes .
John : But ... Why even mention your rushing to the bathroom ?
George : Well , would you rather read in the book that I just disappeared for no reason every once in awhile ? We believe in stretching credulity , John , but me vanishing unexpectedly - and for no reason - is going a little far .
John : Yeah , but ... For the sake of simplicity , why didn't you just crap your pants an' leave it at that ?
George : And not take the time to change them ?
John : Pardon ?
George : And not take the time to change them ?
John : Change what ?
George : My pants .
John : Well , of cou- I mean , it's just taken for granted that people change their pants !! I mean , you'd do that every day anyway , wouldn't you ?! Even if you hadn't ****ted in'm ?! I'd hope you would !! Man !!
George : You know , John ... *sigh* ... Hope was probably the last thing on my mind back then . If Kathy were here , she'd tell you the same thing . And if Father Ralph aka Father Mancuso aka Father Delaney were here , he'd tell you the same thing .
John : Yes , um ... I understand that you've accused Papa Smurf-
George : Father Ralph .
John : Right . I understand you've accused him of contracting some sort of sores on his hands upon visiting the house ?
George : Well , yes , that , and ... He was also plagued by the stench of the devil at his rectory .
John : The stench ... ?
George : Of the devil .
John : ... Of the devil . Of the devil ? Hmmm ... Interesting ... Interesting !
George : It is , isn't it ?
John : Yes ... Yes ! I'd have to concede that it is . Or rather , counterconcede to your concession of my concession . A concession , I might add , that was made under no pressure to do so . Chalk that up as one for me , will you ?
George : Where upon ?
John : Oh , on you're defensive , thin-skinned soul . I mean , that's as good a place as any .
George : By the way , I've just finished my second mug of water .
John : And you want me to getcha another one .
George : I do .
John : I'm gonna go getcha another one !
