Just Talks [√]

[ hyperdrive mouthy stranger ]

"Please be quiet."

No.

"What?"

I can't be quiet.

"Then try to be quiet."

Not possible.

"Huh?"

I was born to talk and talk and talk.

"For just five minutes."

Hmmmmm.

"Please?"

Buy me food.

"Eh?"

In exchange for my silence, I need food.

"But we just ate."

So? I'm still hungry.

"How can you be hungry after you've eaten that much?"

I guess I still can.

"Unbelievable."

So, am I going to get my compensation or not?

"Go screw yourself."

Oooh, feisty.

"Shut up."

I told you, I can't.

"Then stay at a distance."

I can't.

"You can't what?"

I just can't leave.

"Why not? I don't want you near me. You're too loud."

But then you'll be lonely.

"So?"

Trust me, that's a feeling you'll never want to have.

"Are you lonely?"

Who isn't lonely?
