> >> > "See, you even know my name!" > >> > "Of course not!"

> >> > "You never said Wright before..." > >> > "Of course I did."
> >> > "Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name?" > >> > "I do not."
> >> > "Well, there you go, now we know each other's name." > >> > "I do not!"
> >> > "Good!"
>Pause before it hits him,
> >> > "Oh, Guud!"
