Lefty: "Hugo?"
Hugo (with, as usual, a resigned sigh): "Yes, Lefty?"
Lefty: "Do you think we should help Zelda?"
Hugo (after a slight pause for an unpleasant reverie): "Do you remember what happened last time you tried to help Zelda?"
Lefty: "Ummmm..."
Hugo: "A little hint: the president's wife."
Lefty: "errr...."
Hugo: "The electronic device."
Lefty: "aaahh...."
Hugo: "The website"
Lefty: "oh..."
Hugo: "And the creme anglais."
Lefty: "well.... At least we got to meet that nice doctor...."
Hugo: "Yes, and we had to disappear, and Zelda had to change her identity to avoid the secret service..."
Lefty: "The adventures we had with the doctor were fun..."
Hugo: "Fun? You spent most of the time complaining."
Lefty: "So it might not be a good idea?"
Hugo: "On balance of experience, your best laid plans tend to go wrong..."
Lefty: "But one this is brilliant-"
Hugo (sarcastically): "Oh? Do tell."
Lefty: "well, I thought we'd just, ummm, err... maybe make some really cute websites for her."
Hugo: "Oh, yes?"
Lefty: "Yes, like those really impressive ones on MySpace..."
Hugo: "Lefty, I'm not sure that that is quite the style Zelda wants to be associated with."
Lefty looks resigned (again) but then brightens up, much to Hugo's discomfort.
Lefty: "Purring?"
Hugo: "Excellent idea, Lefty. And I'll arrange some baked, cheese-stuffed mushrooms and fresh bread."
