"That is really, really disgusting, Jim."
<paper shuffling> "I know. This guy is a serious nutcase."
"I'm not talking about him -- I'm talking about those greasy, drippy, artery-clogging french fries you're eating. Simon's office is gonna smell like them for the next week."
<chomp> <chew> "I'm hungry. They're good. They're cheap. ‘Nuff said." <chomp> "Besides, you're just jealous since all you've got is that Nutty Twig Bar."
"Jealous!?" <snort> "Not!"
"...just plain unnatural..."
"...deep-fried heart attack..."
"...bark can't be healthy..."
"...yeah, like those are..."
<footsteps> "Gentlemen!"
"Captain!"
"Simon!"
"Just what is going on in here?"
<pause> <blinks>
"French fry, sir?"
