Sire, I brought the latest--
|
King Steve |
Oh, I'm not your king.
|
Gary |
Okay. Who are we today then, sir?
|
King Steve |
Not the king, but still Steve. Stranger.
|
Gary |
Just because you think you're not king today doesn't mean you don't know me anymore.
|
King Steve |
That's a good point, Gary.
|
Gary |
I endeavor to please.
|
King Steve |
You will serve your king well.
|
Gary |
And I assume that's still not you, is it?
|
King Steve |
Oh, heavens no. I lost my kingship to Rodney in last night's poker game.
|
Gary |
You bet the entire kingdom and lost?
|
King Steve |
Oh, my yes. Quite badly.
|
Gary |
To your own right hand man, Rodney, whom I have never actually met despite being your left hand man.
|
King Steve |
The left hand can never know what the right hand is doing. That's the foundation of my kingly philosophy, you know. Also, Rodney is imaginary, so...
|
Gary |
You lost the kingdom in a card game against yourself?
|
King Steve |
As it turns out, I'm a very good card player. But also a very, very bad one.
