As Long As You Don't Talk

Have a chip, says Denis.

Thank you, says Gaius, accepting a Natural Chip.

The sea salt on the chip is quite salty.

I'll have one of those, says Ageless.

Denis hands Ageless a chip.

What can I have? asks Terence.

Nothing, says Gaius. You've just had a slushie.

But you just had a slushie, says Terence.

And I regret having this salty chip so soon after, says Gaius.

So do I, says Denis. Where's the water?

Gaius looks into his backpack. 

No water there.

Go and ask Stanley if he's got any water, says Gaius.

Okay, says Terence.

He runs to the front of the bus.

What are you doing here? asks Stanley.

We need water, says Terence.

You've just had a meal break, says Stanley.

But it wasn't a water break, says Terence.

There might be a spring water under my seat, says Stanley.

Can we have it? asks Terence.

When I stop to pick someone up, says Stanley.

I'll wait here, says Terence.

As long as you don't talk to me, says Stanley.

Why? asks Terence.

Because I'm the driver, says Stanley. Woah! Look there!

What? asks Terence.

A kangaroo! says Stanley. I nearly hit it, because I was talking to you.

Let me be the lookout, says Terence. I know all about animals jumping out at people.

Do you? says Stanley. How come?

My horse jumped out at me, says Terence.

Horses don't jump out at people, says Stanley.

It was only the bottom half, says Terence.

What? asks Stanley.

Terene realises that Stanley might not believe him.

It didn't really jump out, says Terence. It fell into the backpack. It's the opposite.

So how does that help me? asks Stanley.

It happened suddenly, says Terence.

Stanley decides to stop the bus and look for the water.

He stops the bus. 

A kangaroo hops over the road.

I saw one! says Terence.

And here's your water, says Stanley. Take it back to your friends with my compliments.

Terence takes it. 

Well done Terence! That was very successful.
