Woman: I don't mind most marine mammals. But sea lions? I could do without sea lions.
Man: Don't say that out loud!
Seal Lion: Pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear.
Man: Now you've done it.
Sea Lion: I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement. Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any sea lion has ever done to you?
Woman: Go away.
Sea Lion: There's no need to raise your voice. I'm right here. I'm just curious if you have any sources to back up your opinion?
Woman: You're in my house.
Sea Lion: You made a statement in public for all to hear. Are you unable to defend the statements you make? Or simply unwilling to have a reasoned discussion?
Man: Told you, dude. Sea lions.
Sea Lion: I've been unfailingly polite, and you two have been nothing but rude.
Woman: I am trying to eat breakfast!
Sea Lion: Very well. We shall resume in an hour.
