Monkey: Hey, what are you doing? It looks like you're just sitting in a box.
DAH: I am sitting in a box. But I'm not JUST sitting in a box. I'm living and working in it.
Monkey: Well, it looks like you're just sitting there.
DAH: Living and working, living and working.
Monkey: Where'd you get the box?
DAH: I made it.
Monkey: Pretty nice.
DAH: Yeah. Made it myself, for myself, just the way I like it.
Monkey: You do look comfortable.
DAH: I am. That's why I made the box.
Monkey: And you look safe.
DAH: Safe and comfortable.
Monkey: The workmanship is pretty good. Did it take you long to make?
DAH: I've had it for a while, and I keep improving it.
Monkey: There's a couple of places here where it looks repaired.
DAH: I got out of the box a few times, and had to fix it up when I got back in.
Monkey: Can I get in with you?
DAH: NO!
Monkey: Please?
DAH: THERE'S ONLY ROOM FOR ME IN MY BOX!
Monkey: Alright, alright. Don't get all riled up.
DAH: Sorry. It's just that it's my box. Mine. That's why I like it.
Monkey: Have you built any other boxes?
DAH: I don't like to, but, yeah, I have built some boxes, and helped build boxes, for others.
Monkey: For love or money?
DAH: Both. Sometimes they don't even know I'm building their box. But it's a lot of work. I don't really like it.
Monkey: It does look safe in there.
DAH: And comfy.
Monkey: Build me a box.
DAH: Oh, no, not again. I told you I don't like it.
Monkey: Help me build a box.
DAH: Why me? Why do I have to build the boxes? Everyone should focus on their own boxes! I refuse to build boxes for other people! I have my own box to work on! I REFUSE to build boxes for anyone else ever again! I declare my box a sovereign state that I will never leave! My borders are closed!
Monkey: Geez. What a whiner. Never mind. I'll build my own.
DAH: I'll help.
