"What was that?"
"What was what?"
"That noise!"
"What noise?"
"Oh, come on. Didn't you hear that noise?"
"No, I didn't hear anything."
"But is was so clear, you couldn't miss it."
"Well I missed it, so just let me finish reading the paper."
"But we can't just ignore this."
"Ignore what?"
"This noise . . ."
"Sure we can. Besides, we don't even know what 'it' was."
"Of course we do."
"Of course we do what?"
"Of course we know what 'it' is."
"How can we know what 'it' is, if we don't even know for sure that you heard
anything!"
"Well 'I' know I heard something. And you would too, if you'd pay attention."
"I was paying attention, to my paper."
"Oh, come on . . help me out here!"
"Okay, for the sake of argument, what do 'you' think it is?"
"I can't believe you! It's obvious what the noise is. Herbert's back."
"Oh, shut up, Chet!"
