"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: I better go-go

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Head in the clouds, that's me.
W: It must be nice up there.
M: Mine?
W: Yes, your head, that's what you said.
M: Did you arrive under mysterious circumstances?
W: No, I just sat down and started typing.
M: I do not protect myself against imaginary gods.
W: Are there gods in the clouds, real ones?
M: Then what is it you're going to sell?
W: I'm not going to sell you on any line of cloud-gods.
M: Trying to get a bead on you.
W: I would think you'd know me by now.
M: You didn't watch TV last night?
W: I did watch TV last night, William H. Macy was on.
M: Have you ever eaten eels?
W: I have never eaten eels, and I don't plan to anytime soon.
M: What defines the power of a mirror?
W: I didn't know mirrors had power, unless they were magic.
M: I never watch Rosie O'Donnell.
W: Does Rosie O'Donnell have magic reflective powers?
M: At the very moment of such proclamation, the city seemed vibrant with life.
W: Because, if she could have magic powers, we all could?
M: That?
W: That magic thing, more than prestidigitation.
M: Does Rosie O'Donnell have magic reflective powers?
W: She used to be funnier than what she is now.
M: Thank you.
W: Did you need the answer to that one so badly?
M: I didn't know mirrors had power, unless they were magic.
W: When I give you the answers you want to hear, does your power increase?
M: What thing?
W: You mean, what topic?
M: I did watch TV last night, William H. Macy was on.
W: He was playing the president.
M: If I talk, it gets expressed.
W: Your deep inner self, or some oil?
M: I am not named.
W: I hereby name you Ollie Oil.
M: Of course it's true.
W: It's short for Olive Oyl, or Oliver if you like.
M: But not all the time.
W: We're not always cartoon characters, except maybe from the outside.
M: Suppose it was really in the wall?
W: What was in the wall, a flat-screen plasma TV?
M: You sure sound like an art director.
W: I wish I were, at an extremely mellow agency though.
M: Is it?
W: It isn't, it couldn't be, how could it?
M: You don't believe it?
W: No, because metropolitan life is too high-powered.
M: Well done.
W: Thank you veddy much.
M: A revolution in the powers of observation, this will erase real human beings.
W: Because we're all trying to hide from the light of truth?
M: Snap, and my mind is shot.
W: I better go-go then.
M: I'm your kind of person after all.
W: Sure, and now buh-bye!
M: Thank you veddy much.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 1 second ... Goodbye!
