“You think you know when the thirty Thousand is going to happen?”
“Yes.”
“The date?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t want to know Johnny.”
“Really?”
“You really think you know the date?”
“Yes.”
“Is it soon?”
“I don’t think you’re allowed to ask questions if you don’t want to know.”
“Sort of counter-productive.”
“Seems so.”

“What questions did you ask Johnny?”

“Knowing ones.”
“Knowing questions?”

“I don’t.”
“Okay.”
“But part of me does.”
“Okay too.”

“Fancy you.”
“All we have to do is see it through.”
“Keep showing up.”
“And the date will arrive.”
“Well …”
