Text transcript
Rabish: Rabid, you have TERRIBLE BREATH. Rabid: HOW can this BE?! Rabid: I brush my teeth dozens of times a day and eat nothing but flavourless nutrient wafers! Rabid: Because I want to be futuristic. Rabid: In fact, I spend most of my time in the bathroom, because it is brightly lit and well mirrored -- both attributes I associate with the future. Rabish: Come with me. Rabish: Your toothpaste is full of sugar! And these "flavourless nutrient wafers" are sweetened -- with SUGAR!! Rabid: Ah! I thought they were too not flavourless. Rabish: The putrescence of your rotting teeth is unpleasant! and oppressive! and reminds me of the unpleasant and oppressive things in our world right now. Rabid: You mean like a science-fictional dystopia? Shucks I guess I ended up futuristic after all!!
