Rockamellon: So it is resolved then?
Socrato: What is resolved?
Rockamelon: The truth. Have we discovered that there is no value in the world except that which can be assigned a monetary value?
Socrato: Are you satisfied with what we have found?
Rockamellon: If I, as per your recommendation, stifle my opinion, Socrato - then yes, I feel that we have indeed arrived at the truth that money is the only measure of value in the world. Are you satisfied?
Socrato: No. Let us see if we can make the value something else.
Rockamellon: I don't follow you.
Socrato: Let us go find someone else to draw into our conversation and in so doing, let us reveal some new truth to them.
Rockamellon: Is there not but one truth of each matter, Socrato? If we have uncovered money is the answer the will not money always be the answer?
Socrato: Will our truth not be all the more truthful if we confirm it with someone else, Rockamellon?
Rockamellon: I suppose so but from the way you spoke of our search you made it sound as though you wanted the truth to be something else.
Socrato: Are you, once again, accusing me of having an agenda? A truth bending agenda? To what end would I, as a lover of wisdom, seek to bend the truth?
Rockamellon: I know not... unless perhaps you think there is some truth behind bending the truth.
Socrato: That sounds like a most interesting discussion, friend Rockamellon. But let us save it for another time for here I see our mutual friend Hadison. Let us see what he thinks of value.
