Sparrow: I swear I’m not picking up anything new at this point. Isn’t our guinea pig supposed to be here by now?
Miranda: Don’t say guinea pig.
Sparrow: Because it’s the Rabbit?
Miranda: Because it’s not alive — that’s kind of the point. But sure, that too. And don’t worry . . .
I’m sure Bennett and his Being will be checking in downstairs any minute now.
Security: ID? — yes, I see you know the drill. Welcome back, Mr. Bennett.
One more thing before I give you a visitor card — Tell me how many colors are on this list.
Bennett: What?
Security: New security measure. We have to double-check that you’re a human.
Bennett: Fine, fine. Show me the thing.
black, orange, shoebox, taupe, laundry, green, hat
Bennett: Three. Only three. Just because I’m . . . you know . . . doesn’t mean I have to acknowledge “taupe” as a color.
Security: Mr. Cohen, should I count that?
Cybele!Cohen: Sounds awfully human to me!
Security: Thought so. Okay — now it’s your turn.
Oh man I finally did it, I marathoned the entire comic from beginning to end! I was kind of hoping I’d never catch up all the way though ^^:
Taupe is the new pink? :)
Well, i mean… Taupe is more of a beige….
This would be hard on non-native speakers. Never heard “taupe” before.
I’m sure you could skate by with a “3, but what the heck is Toe-pay?”
((taupe deliberately ‘mispronounced’ for effect))
Why “deliberately”?
