• Sam : You don't like raisins?

  Joon : Not really.

  Sam : Why?

  Joon : They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council.

  Sam : Did you see those, those raisins on TV? The ones that sing and dance and stuff?

  Joon : They scare me.

  Sam : Yeah me too

  Joon : It's sick. The commercial people they make them sing and dance so people will eat them.

  [lets go of Sam. Pauses] 

  Sam : [nodding head while stumbling slowly away]  You're scared, Benny.
