The context of the dialog

Four burglars have successfully robbed a wealthy antiques collector. They decide to flee into the wilderness and keep a low profile for some time. The dialog unfolds in a car as the gang speeds off into the southwestern American desert, in the middle of the night.

The characters

Hunter (leader) : Head of the gang; tall, care-free, a gambler.

Sparky : Small, nervous, greedy and mean.

Vijay : The intellectual of the group.

Kat : The young woman.

The dialog

Sparky (laughing) : “The look on that guy’s puss!”

Hunter (amused) : “Who you talkin’ about?”

Sparky (laughing) : “That guy we just ripped off! I’m thinkin’ about the look on his face when he sees his big collection of Navajo jewelry is gone!”

Hunter : “I know somebody else who’s gonna bust a vein in his head! ...his insurance guy!”

...General laughter.

Kat (showing off a ring on her finger and taking a snobby tone) : “Madam’s jewelry ain’t too bad either!”

Hunter : “No wonder she has the nicest jewelry, with a husband that’s got the most valuable collection in Albuquerque.

Sparky (jokingly) : “Had the most valuable collection!”

...General laughter.

Sparky : “Hey, Vijay—what’s your problem!?”

Vijay (scowling) : “You shouldn’t have taken that Navajo statuette, Sparky.”

Sparky : “You’re makin’ a face ‘cause of that crummy statuette?!”

Vijay (scowling) : “That one, we shouldn’t have taken.”

Sparky : “And why not? It looks cool!”

Vijay : “Maybe, but something’s not right. We shouldn’t have stolen it.”

Hunter : “Relax, Vijay, it’s only a piece of stone!”

Vijay (his anger beginning to build) : “A piece of stone that wasn’t mixed in with the others. If the guy hid it that well, it’s because he had his reasons. Don’t you think?”

Sparky : “Whaddaya mean by that?”

Vijay (his anger coming back) : “Well, why do you think he put two circles of salt around it?”

Sparky (mockingly) : “Oh-ho, he’s gonna do the Exorcist for us now!!!”

Vijay (angry) : “In any case, we shouldn’t have taken it. It wasn’t part of the plan.”

Vijay’s firmness imposes a few seconds of silence.

Hunter : “People can do whatever they want in their own homes. The important thing is that we can steal from them!”

Sparky is the only who laughs.

Kat : So where’re we goin’?

Hunter (glad to change the subject) : “Don’t worry, a place where no one can bug us.”

Vijay : “Are you saying that for my benefit?”

Kat (calmly) : “Geez, Vij, don’t take everything so personally. (pause) So where is this place?

Hunter (taking an exaggeratedly mysterious tone) : “It’s a... ghost-town!”

Sparky (brandishing his weapon) : “Ghosts or no ghosts, we got what we need to be goddamn left alone...(looking at his watch) Hey, my watch stopped working.”

Kat (looking at her own watch) : “Mine stopped too!”

Vijay (anxious) : “Shit, me too!”

A heavy silence hangs over the group. Fear begins to creep into everyone’s spirit.

Hunter (annoyed) : “Where we’re going, we won’t need them. Time doesn’t count in Hell.”

The fox had prepared Soup for dinner. When the crane sat down to eat, the fox brought two bowls of hot soup. The fox started to enjoy the soup.

But the crane could not drink the soup from the bowl with its long beak. If waited for the fox to finish the dinner and bid goodbye. It had to get back home hungry.

After a few days, the crane invited the fox for a dinner. The fox agreed and went to the crane’s house well in time. The crane gave him a warm welcome. It served the soup in a Jar with a long and narrow neck.

The crane enjoyed the soup using his long beak. The fox’s mouth couldn’t reach the soup through the narrow neck of the jar. It tried hard, but could not drink the soup. Then the crane brought a bowl of soup and said to the fox, “When I came to your house for dinner, you served me soup in a bowl, which I could not drink. I wanted to teach you a lesson. That is why I first served soup in a jar. Please drink the soup now and go home happily”.

The fox realized his mistake and drank the soup. From then on both became good friends.
