Mervis: Great party, huh? I actually don't know anyone at the party, actually, I'm kinda new to the neighborhood, actually, but my friend Dunglap said "Come to the party, I'll introduce you around, you'll know everyone by the time you leave the party" Dunglap knows everybody and now I'll know everybody! Of course, Dunglap didn't show up...so I guess I gotta mingle! So here I am, mingling! Of course, mingling really isn't my game. I'm not really a "mingler", per say, I was actually in the corner alone mingling...*nervously laughing* that means I'm not talking to anyone actually. I just saw you over here and I said, "There's a guy by himself, I'll mingle with this guy, this guy looks like a mingler". So, hi, I'm Mervis, pleased to meet ya! Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* Well it certainly is a pleasure to meet YOU, Mervis. Mervis: ...I'm sorry if I bothered you. Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* Oh, no, you're not BOTHERING me, Mervis. Far FROM it. There's NOTHING that I'd rather do than just stand here and CHAT with YOU, you know, REALLY get to know you? Mervis: ...Look, I don't think there's any need to be sarcastic. Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* Oh, I'm not being SARCASTIC. Noooooo. This is JUST a little speech impediment. I can't help it. Mervis: Okay, obviously I've said or done something wrong to upset you; I'm just gonna apologize and be on my way. Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* No, no, no. Please stay. It's true. I've talked this way ALL my LIFE. It's made things very DIFFICULT for me. Mervis: Yeah, right! *leaves* Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* Hey wait, where are you going? Come back! I REALLY want to be YOUR friend! Mr. Sunshine: *deadpan* I'm so lonely... *sips beer*
