This discussion involves eating disgustingly overly ripe bananas.

C: Ok ok, I will give you $20 if you eat the whole banana with the skin on AND sing a song while you're doing it. You can even choose the song.

Cr: I can choose the song?!

C: You can choose the song!

*silence as we look at each other across from the table*

C: Ok, how about I give you $20 if I get to smash the entire banana up your nose while you sing a song. You can choose the song. 

Cr: Why do you make it seem like choosing the song is a privilege?

C: Because I'd like you to think that you have some control over this situation. THERE CAN BE NO TRUE DESPAIR WITHOUT HOPE.
