"Oh-kay. Well give it your best shot."
"It's not a question of 'bests', it's a matter of conservation of integrity."

"There is no making pieces of a unified whole."
"Uhm. How about a little about yourself, then?"
"There are words, certainly, that can be used in such an endeavor but their efficacy is questionable."
"How about 'I'm a cute little dog who stands on his hind legs and has human hands'?"
"Those are the kinds of words to which I was referring, yes."
"I'd like to hear you say some words... like those then, Duncan."
"That wouldn't make them any more or any less accurate."
"Alright, then. Any final thoughts for our potential readers?"
"Many, yes."
"And those are?"
"Untranslatable into words."
"Of course. Well thanks for the interview."
