Narrator: Here is another random argument, between H-Guy and Razor-Dude. H Guy is with paper and Razor-Dude likes underpants. Enjoy!

(the curtain opens, H-Guy and Razor-Dude are sitting on plastic baby chairs.)

Razor-Dude: Yo! I am here to defend the world of underpants.
H-Guy: Hello. I am professor Hallaway. I am here to talk to you about the amazing paper. Razor-Dude: Underpants, are, like, the, like, only thing that, like goes underneath pants.
H-Guy: Paper may be the most important thing ever made.
Razor-Dude: Dude, Underpants are important too!
H-Guy: That's true, but, imagine our country without paper.
Razor-Dude: Ha! Think of America without Underpants! Ha! In your face man!
H-Guy: Without paper, we would have nothing to write on.
Razor-Dude: Yo, without Underpants, we would all be VERY uncomfortable.
H-Guy: Without paper, we would have nothing to print our books.
Razor-Dude: Forget about books! Without undies, we would either be naked or feeling funny.
H-Guy: You need paper because it is important to the human society.
Razor-Dude: Peace out dude! You're shouting in my ear!
H-Guy: Paper is an important part of life.
Razor-Dude: You need Underpants so people don't think you are a Underpants-less freak!
H-Guy: Paper helps you in school.
Razor-Dude: Ha! Try getting into school without underpants!
H-Guy: Without paper, we would not have toilet paper, or hand cleaners.
Razor-Dude: Without Underpants, our world would be freakishly crazy.
H-Guy: Excuse me, I have a call coming in. It's my daughter.
Razor-Dude: Do you have a bathroom?

(5minutes later)

H-Guy: I am still here on behalf of paper.
Razor-Dude: Go Underpants!
H-Guy: Paper can be made into many different things, unlike underpants.
azor-Dude: Underpants are the most important type of clothing.
H-Guy: Paper can be many colors, unlike underpants, which are usually white.
Razor-Dude: Underpants make you feel good.
H-Guy: Paper is the only thing to use when you fold a paper airplane.
Razor-Dude: Try wearing paper underneath your pants. Dude, yuck!
H-Guy: Try writing on a pair of underpants. Messy.
Razor-Dude: a Country without underpants is less comfortable than a world with underpants.
H-Guy: a Nation without paper is paperless.
Razor-Dude: Man, I stand by the usually white underpants.
H-Guy: Paper is better than underpants.
Razor-Dude: Give me underpants or give me death!
H-Guy: Thank you for your time.
Razor-Dude: My feelings are CORRECT!
H-Guy: Paper
Razor-Dude: I disagree
H-Guy: No you dont.

1 Random Argument

I am a happy mongoose, says Uri.
Mongooses are not real things, Valeri exclaimes. Snarfblats are way better.
Uri says, WHAT DA HECK??

This sounds like the beginnings of a random argument...

Uri: I am a happy mongoose.
Valeri: (snobby tone) Well, I am a happy snarfblat.
Smili: I like pies. They're cool.
Uri: Be quiet, Smili. This is is our random argument.
Valeri: Yeah.
(Smili is quiet and sulking in a corner)
Uri: I am a happy mongoose.
Valeri: Uri, I bet you don't even know what a mongoose is!
Uri: Oh, yeah?
Valeri: YEAH!
Uri: SMILI! SMILI!
(Smili comes running)
Valeri: Smili...
Uri: Smili, go look up mongoose in the dictionary on my desk!
Smili: Yes ma'am. (Runs off)
Valeri: Anyway, snarfblats are way better that mongooses. I bet mongooses have hair.
Uri: Ew! Snarfblats don't have hair? Are you kidding me?
Smili: I'm BACK!!
Valeri: Great. What'd you find?
Uri: Yeah, what'd you find?
Smili: It said no matches found.
Valeri: HA! In your FACE! (Starts dancing, chanting loser loser loser loser)
Uri: Hey, that's not fair. Smili! Look up snarfblat in the dictionary!
Smili: Yes ma'am. (Runs off)
Valeri: I bet it won't say no matches found!
Smili: I'm back! It says no matches found!
Uri: Oh yeah, do the hula! It wasn't there! Go me! Oh yeah, do the hula!
Valeri: Be quiet, you nincompoop.
Uri: Hey!! Who are you calling a nincompoop?
Smili: My friend Willi is gonna come over soon.
Valeri: Who cares? (pushes Smili)
Uri: Mongooses are better than Snarfblats.
Valeri: No they are not. Snarfblats have wings.
Uri: Mongooses can swim. Smili, go search on the internet for pictures of mongooses.
Smili: Yes ma'am!
Valeri: Snarfblats are, are, just better!
Uri: Mongooses are monks and gooses.
Smili: I'm BACK! It said no results found.
Valeri: Whatever!
Smili: My friend Willi is here.
Willi: I like pie.
Uri: You have a problem with that?
Valeri: Yeah I do!
Willi: I want to play pretend with you.
Uri: Mongooses are physically attractive.
Valeri: Snarfblats are very appealing.
Willi: I want to play pretend with you.
Uri: Who likes Snarfblats?
Valeri: Who likes Mongooses?
Uri: What is your point?
Valeri: My point is that Snarfblats are better than Mongooses!
Willi: I want to play pretend with you.
Uri: What?
Valeri: You think this is pretend?
Smili: Yeah. Willi wants to play pretend with us.
Uri: THIS IS NOT PRETEND!!!
Smili and Willi: WHAT?
Valeri: This is not pretend!
Uri: So, you did find definetions in the dictionary?
Valeri: And you did find pictures on the internet?
Smili: Yep! That was an interesting game of pretend, right Willi?
Willi: I like mongooses, snarfblats and pie.
Smili: Really? I like mongooses, snarfblats and turtles. Turtles are better than pie...
Uri and Valeri: Uhhhhhh...

This sounds like another sequel RANDOM ARGUMENT!

PS. Mongooses are a type of lemur. Snarfblats are really made up by Amethyst.
