Pudding Stand-Off

How hard would I hit you?

Why?

Well, I’m curious how mad I’d be.

Pretty hard. I’d be down, but not out.

So not bad enough to really mess you up.

No. Just enough to let me know you’re angry.

So what is it?

Sorry, I don’t want to get hit.

But you don’t know I’ll hit you.

Trust me, you’ll hit me.

What if I just hit you now?

What?

Well, you’ve had me smell something that’s obviously horrid, so why not just hit you now?

Because if you hit me now, I’ll tell you what it is. Trust me, there’s a reason you’d hit me really hard. And after you hit me, you’d go to the shower and recreate the ‘Crying Game’. Truce?

(Pause) Truce.
