“Wow, this is so amazing!”
“Yes Dave.”
“I mean, look at this, I’ve got a nose, a real nose… I can smell things.”
“I know Dave, me too. But, do you think—“
“—And these feet, look at them, they’re, made of some kind of wood or something.”
“Well, yes, that leads me onto what—“
“I bet I could run for miles and miles and I’d never feel anything.”
“Well, that might prove problematic.”
“What do you mean?”
“Well Dave, you know a few minutes ago when the blue fairy was here—“
“Oh yeah man, like I’m gonna forget that.”
“Yes, well, you remember how, when she waved that shiny stick at us and asked us what we wanted?”
“Of course, I mean, I didn’t even know reindeer could talk.”
“Actually I’m pretty sure they can’t.”
“Then how are we able to?”
“I think it’s some kind of magic… you know, what with her being a fairy and all.”
“Really? Wow, is there anything she can’t do?”
“Probably not, which is what I’ getting at. Anyway, she asks us what we want and you say—“
“— I wanna be real, like really real!”
“Yes, good call by the way, I’m not gonna deny that. But afterwards, when she asked us if there was anything else we wanted…“
“I said no, I mean, what more could we want? Hey, look at this stuff, it’s all brown and… bristly.”
“Yes, that’s your fur. But, you remember how she insisted on asking if there was anything else?”
“Yeah?”
“And I tried to interrupt, but you told her to just ignore me and that we were just so grateful for what she’d done, and she kept asking and sort of, glancing downwards and winking?”
“Umm, kind of, why?”
“I was just wondering if, you know, it might have been a good idea to ask her to, you know, get us down from here?”
