Friendship is constant in all things, save in the office and affairs of love. -- Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing II.i

It’s Been a Hard Day’s…

Scene: DYLAN’s room. Bedtime. DYLAN and DADDY are playing with his remote-controlled robot, who is fighting a fuzzy bear slipper.

DADDY
Okay, we have to finish up and lights out.

DYLAN
But the bear isn’t the Big Boss. If he calls the Big Boss, the robots will have to fight him.

DADDY
Dylan, it’s ten minutes past lights out. I think we’re going to have to defeat the bear and call it a night.

Dylan holds the robot remote to his ear as though it’s a phone

DYLAN
(to remote)
mumble mumble

DYLAN
(to DADDY)
Okay. I called in the knight. He’ll be here in a few minutes to defeat the bear.
