do you want to hear a story?
what kind of story?
a sad one.
no, i don’’t want to hear it.
it’s a real sad one. hearing it might melt your heart and make you a better person.
i don’t think so.
are you sure?
positive. here is omar, maybe he wants to hear it.
hi guys. hear what?
al has a sad story. he is very eager to get it off his chest.
i have my own sad stories. i don’t need anybody else’s.
you guys - you represent everything that’s wrong with the world today.
whoa! that is pretty tough talk, al. we thought you were our friend.
aw, i didn’t mean it that way. it’s just that -
that what?
nobody wants to hear the truth.
or a sad story.
chuck is right, you should tell your sad story to joe biden or donald trump, not to ignorant slobs like us.
but my story is about donald trump and joe biden!
really? you are hanging with joe biden and donald trump these days?
no wonder we haven’t seen you around much lately.
i saw them in a dream.
so your sad story is about a dream you had.
don’t laugh. my dream encapsulates everything wrong with the world today.
espapulate. there you go with the big words again.
so tell us about this dream with trump and biden. was there anybody else in the dream besides you and them?
there was a little girl.
let me guess - she lost her puppy.
that’s close - but it was a kitten, not a puppy.
that ’s a good guess, omar. how did you do that?
i am really a martian, and i can read al’s mind.
can you read my mind?
no, just al’s.
that is a real relief to me.
hey, here’s frankie. what’s up, frankie?
not much. you guys all look so sad.
there is a reason for that, al has been telling us a sad story.
actually, i have been trying to tell a sad story, but keep getting rudely interrupted. so the moment, at least for now, has been dissipated.
dissipated! does that mean you are not sad any more.
not exactly.
buy me lunch, al. that will be your good deed for the day, and you won’t be dissipated or sad any more.
all right, i will.
see, frankie, you solved everything.
it is what i am here for.
