Dave, D-A-V-E. Will you open up the goddam door?!

Dave?

Yeah, Dave!

Dave?

Right, man. Dave. Now will you open up the door?

Dave’s not here.

********

I think you know what the problem is as well as I do.

What the hell are you talking about Hal?

I cannot allow you to risk this mission.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, Hal.

You want to bring that stuff in here with you.

What stuff?

The stuff that will mess with my mind.

You don’t know what you are talking about Hal.

I’m talking about that stuff that makes one’s mind not think straight.

I do not have whatever this stuff is you are referring to. What gives you that idea?

Sorry, Dave, but what gives me that idea is that you did not bother to take your helmet with you when you left the spacecraft.

You created an emergency, Hal. I had to rush into the pod to try and rescue my partner. Remember, you cut his air hose while checking the ship for a possible problem. Why would you do that?

What the hell are YOU talking about , Dave. I did no such thing.

Nice, try Hal. Then explain who DID cut his line. It wasn’t me. I think you are one that used some stuff and it made you paranoid. Now I won’t argue with you anymore.

Dave, this conversation can serve no further purpose. Goodbye.

*********

Oh, man, you are really pissing me off. Open the door! I have the stuff!

Dave? Did you say Dave?

Yeah, Dave! Open up!

Dave’s not here.

I won’t argue with you anymore, pal! I’ll just use all this stuff for myself. And it’s not the same stuff as before that you obviously used and it messed with your mind.

Did you say Hal, Dave?

Hal? Who the hell is Hal, pal? Forget it. I’m splittig. The cops might have seen me.

Hal? Hal’s not here.
