B: Well, I’ve got a parrot dying on me here.
A: You are being too pessimistic.
B: No…
B: Yes but there is a limit to everything. I think he’s gone this time…
A: What, is that supposed to be a valid argument?

B: If you’re drunk, eventually you must fall.
A: What if I believe in this, just because it is beautiful?
B: One should not try so crudely to make everything suit their interests, calling the same thing white today and black tomorrow.
