So. Principal Jeffers is in the dunk tank.
TEEN 2:
Yes. Yes he is.
TEEN 3:
I don't feel like trying to dunk him, though. I have nothing against Principal Jeffers, and I would hate to have had inconvenienced him.
TEEN 1:
Me, I intensely dislike Principal Jeffers, but I won't try to dunk him either. He's in the dunk tank only because he wants to be. It's far more torturous for him not to get dunked. (Pause) Tension, angst.
TEEN 2:
So, Andy, since the principal's enemy is anti-dunking, does that makes you pro-dunking?
TEEN 3:
I would be, since Principal Jeffers is a swell guy and all, but he's also very proud, and I'd hate for him to feel that he owes me anything. So, no.
CARNIVAL WORKER:
Foolish kids, stop your infernal rationalizations. One of you, I implore, step right up and dunk the man. He's been sitting there for 5 1/2 hrs, grinning.
