Monkey: Nothing to say.
DAH: That's unlike you.
Monkey: Unlike you, you mean.
DAH: We do have a certain kinship.
Monkey: Peculiar, that.
DAH: Yeah.
Monkey:
DAH: Nothing to say, really?
Monkey: I've adopted some of your rules.
DAH: Such as?
Monkey: "Talk less."
DAH: That is one of my rules. I don't always obey it.
Monkey: "Avoid talking about yourself."
DAH: People would rather talk about themselves than hear about me.
Monkey: Or me.
DAH: Except in these monkey-posts, of course.
Monkey: Of course.
DAH: There are always exceptions.
Monkey: Blah, blah, blah.
DAH: Tired of talking? I thought I was drawing you out.
Monkey: Tired of random blather. Here's a tip: Have a point.
DAH: You lifted that from some movie, didn't you? It sounds familiar.
Monkey: I'm trying to remind you about another rule.
DAH: "Speak only with a purpose."
Monkey: That's it.
DAH: Talk less. Don't talk about yourself. Speak only with a purpose. I sound like kind of a quiet guy.
Monkey: And yet --
DAH: But maybe we need to make some noise in the world. Maybe we need to do something that says, "I'm here!"
Monkey: Now you sound arrogant and self-important again. Me, me, me.
DAH: Geez, you're a tough -- "friend."
Monkey: I am but as I am made.
DAH: And I'll try to stick to my rules.
Monkey: Good.
DAH: Good.
Monkey: Still, a silly little song now and then wouldn't hurt.
