In either case. Enjoy.

Bethany Siniscal: “I have tea!”

William M Hartz: “Tea is good!”

Bethany Siniscal: “I knew you would appreciate it.”

William M Hartz: “You should bring me some.”

Bethany Siniscal: “I should.”
Bethany Siniscal: “but I probably won’t.”

William M Hartz: “You are mean!”

Bethany Siniscal: “I am honest though.”
Bethany Siniscal: “Would you rather me lie and be nice? or be honest and mean?”

William M Hartz: “I’d rather you bring me some tea.”

Bethany Siniscal: “I’d rather not.”

William M Hartz: “If I was not so dehydrated from lack of tea, I would cry 1000 tears due to your cold heartedness, Bethany Siniscal.”

Bethany Siniscal: “If I were not so cold hearted I would drive over and give you tea so you could cry those 1000 tears.”

William M Hartz: “But if you brought the tea there would be no need for tears but partying instead. And we would drink the tea. And eat popcorn. For it is popcorn I have, yet tea that I lack. And therein lies the difficulty.”

Bethany Siniscal: “but I have popcorn at my house too. I don’t see the part where I benefit.”

William M Hartz: “You benefit from my good company. Also, I have Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit.”

Bethany Siniscal: “What if I find no joy playing in such foolish games?”

William M Hartz: “Clearly, your benefit far outweighs mine.”
William M Hartz: “I also have Lord of the Rings Monopoly
.”

Bethany Siniscal: “I must confess my Lord of the Rings knowledge is of limit as is my passion for it.”
Bethany Siniscal: “At my house we have taboo and movies such as: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.”

William M Hartz: “Well then we could watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy, for I also have this (in both theatrical and extended edtion). Afterwards your knowledge would be sufficient and your passion overflowing.”
William M Hartz: “As a third option, I also have Lord of the Rings chess.”

Bethany Siniscal: “I despise chess.”

William M Hartz: “Well, that is why I have both the Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly.”

Bethany Siniscal: “What if I just want nothing to do with Lord of the Rings?”

William M Hartz: “This is folly.”

Thus, the quest for more tea moves on.
