Comon motioning with his hand   Sayso

turning towards Daniel Sarah said  Say so, what?

Never mind, he’s just trying to start a fire.

Fire

         Fact

Which you are eminently well aware  yet have some reasonwhaever it is to ignore to suppress it

                                                                                                        Fly your freak flag DaddyO

Certainly freakish to me

Sarah turned away from him back to Daniel  You.  You have a freak flag?

I don’t.

        He’s just tryin’ to incite you.

He’s doing a good job.

                               What?

Nothing.   It’s nothing.

Awcomon  If it were nothing it shoudnt be hard to muster to say

Sarah turned away from him back to Daniel  What?

If either of you don’t stop, I’m walkin’ awa . .

. . Id think youd rather say than I say

                                           You know how hard it is for me to check my enthusiasmhow times Im prone to exaggerate   If you have one story turned to Sarah hes a lousy storyteller has so few   If you have one story this is it an always better from the horses mouth

    adamantly  I’m not saying.

    Sarah  obviously disappointed

Fine  Before you go

                         Sarah  When Daniel was bad boy his mother told him Daniel  Go to your realm
