[Cards are scattered on the floor. During the scene, Ben and Chris pick up cards and place them on the table.]
Ben: Is there a theme here or some unifying thread?
Chris: No, it's scattered.
Ben: Like life.
Chris: Life is more realistic.
Ben: So, it's not unified and it's not realistic... so, what is it?
Chris: It's not easy.
Ben: Well, if we slowly eliminate everything that it's not, we may eventually come up with what it is.
Chris: Not likely.
Ben: What do you suggest?
Chris: Just try to forget it.
Ben: That's like the old "try not to think of purple dinosaurs" scenario.
Chris: Pink elephants.
Ben: Great, now I have a whole psychedelic animal montage in my head.
Chris: Peach Pandas.
Ben: I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
Chris: Wanna play cards?
Ben: Actually, I don't like cards.
Chris: That's new.
Ben: I'm full of surprises.
Chris: Well, now I'm alone.
Ben: There's a game for that.
Chris: Aloness.
Ben: Yeah.
Chris: Not very sociable, I imagine.
Ben: It's actually called "solitaire".
Chris: Was it invented in prison?
Ben: No, you don't get cards in prison.
Chris: That's ridiculous.
Ben: Okay, I made that up.
Chris: Prison?
Ben: No, the "no cards" rule.
Chris: So, it was invented in prison.
Ben: I really have no idea. I don't even like prison.
