Barnard:
I beg your pardon, brother. What did you say you were hunting?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Fossils.
Barnard:
Fossils, huh?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
I'm a paleontologist.
Barnard:
A what?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
A paleontologist.
Barnard:
Ohhh... I see.
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
I have here a discovery that will startle the world. It's the vertebra from the lumbar of a Megatherium, found in Asia.
Barnard:
Well, what do you know about that?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Found in Asia. When I get home, I shall probably be knighted for it.
Barnard:
Knighted! You don't say! Do you mind if I take a look at it?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Oh, not at all... This is the only thing I was able to save when those heathens surrounded me.
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
[takes out a large vertebra bone from a specimen box]
You see, from this vertebra, I shall be able to reconstruct the entire skeleton...
Barnard:
[interrupting, slightly incredulous]
Wait a minute. You expect to be knighted for finding that soup bone?
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
[slightly offended]
This is the vertebra of a Megatherium found in Asia.
Barnard:
Yeah, I remember. You said that before.
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Sir Henry Derwent was knighted. He never got beyond the Mesozoic era.
Barnard:
[sarcastic]
Aww, poor fellow!
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Yes, it just shows... I don't know why I'm talking to you. I don't know you. Who are you?
Barnard:
Okay, brother.
Alexander P. 'Lovey' Lovett:
Don't call me "brother."
Barnard:
[chuckles]
Okay, sister... No offence. No offence.
