On the Ice Cream Truck that regularly visits our neighborhood:
[the Murphy's Oil Soap commercial music plays in the background]
Sally: ooh, ice cream.
Curtis: Are you going to get ice cream?
Sally: Will you go buy me an ice cream?
Curtis: No, the point is that you go run after the Ice Cream Truck.
[Sally gets up and goes to the door.]
Sally: The Ice Cream Truck is gone. One day I'm going to get that Ice Cream Truck.
Curtis: Why? What's the point? All of their ice cream sucks, anyway.
Sally: Like what? What sucks?
Curtis: Well, for one thing, Rocket Pops--
Sally: Rocket Pops? Rocket Pops are fucking awesome.
Curtis: Okay, I'm going to just stop right here.
Sally: I love Rocket Pops. They're the best.
Curtis: You don't know from good. I'll bet you like Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream.
Sally: No, those taste like cold, wet cardboard.
Curtis: But you like Rocket Pops.
Sally: Don't compare Rocket Pops to Mickey Mouse ice cream. That's not the same. Rocket Pops are three distinct flavors, in brilliant colors. Icky Mouse is not good. Icky Mouse tastes like a lot of nothing.
Curtis: I still wouldn't go buy Rocket Pops.
Sally: Okay, fine. What kind of ice cream would YOU run after?
Curtis: A big bucket of chocolate ice cream. That's it. That's the only ice cream that would inspire me to run down the street after a truck.
