Jim: What do I do, Ted? Where do I go from here?

Ted thinks for a second and takes a breath to answer

Jim: Don’t answer that. It’s rhetorical.

Beat

Ted: You know what I think?

Jim: News to me.

Ted: I think you’ll feel better if you just take the day off, go home,
have a nice meal, a shower and get a good night’s rest. You’ll feel
better in the morning.

Jim: Dude, can you be serious for a second. Just for a minute or two.

Ted: I dunno, it always works for me.

Jim: What does?

Ted: This one time I felt bad and then I fell asleep and afterwards I didn’t
feel bad for at least an hour.

Jim: Yeah, sure. You “went to sleep” and just magically felt better later.

Ted: ...Hey, Jim?

Jim: What. Ted.

Ted: You do sleep, don’t you?

Jim: What kind of a question is that? I was obviously made like a human in
every way.

Ted: Ok, it’s just that for a moment there it seemed like you were saying
that you don’t so I got suspicious.

Jim: Well of course I don’t. That kind of thing just happens in, like,
movies and stuff.

Ted: Hey, Jim.

Jim: Don’t tell me that’s a real thing.

Ted:

Jim: No way. You’re just messing with me again. Look, I know how humans
act, I’ve been one my whole life until now.

Ted: You didn’t know people sleep?

Jim: You just fall unconscious for 8 hours a day? That’s absurd!

Ted: How did you not know that your whole life?

Jim: I thought it was just a myth or a traditional thing or something.
Like arachnophobia or polio.

Ted: Jim those things are real.

Jim: Oh, please! Next you’re going to tell me humans eat stuff to survive.
Like animals.

Ted: Um...
