One to One

1: Did you come over to talk or do you want something?
2: Sometimes I don't know myself.
1: I never did.
2: What?
1: Know myself; she died before I was born.
2: We lost two dogs on the escalators today, they zipped straight under, we never saw it coming, we cried as those little leads bumped and trailed.
1: That's the way it goes sometimes.
2: Down.
1: Or up.
2: Depending on the direction.
1: And your perspective.
2: Sometimes even along.
1: No, that's a travelator, it's very different.
2: No escalation.
1: Not a jot.
2: How dull.
1: I saw a fish in a puddle today.
2: Really?
1: No.
2: Oh.
1: It was a stick. In the mud.
