Tina Asks For A Favor

Open source transcript

CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

THAT WOULD DEPEND ON MANY THINGS.

FOR EXAMPLE, I WOULD NEED TO KNOW IF THE FAVOR IS A REASONABLE ONE, SUCH AS BORROWING A STICK OF GUM...

.. OR IS IT MORE ALONG THE LINES OF "HELP ME BUILD AN OPERATING SYSTEM FROM SCRATCH"?

THEN I WOULD NEED TO COMPARE YOUR REQUEST TO ALL OTHER USES OF MY TIME.

I ALSO NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MY FEELINGS ABOUT YOU PERSONALLY.

FOR EXAMPLE, I MIGHT HARBOR NEGATIVE FEELINGS ABOUT A PERSON WHO ASKS ME TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE TELLING ME WHAT IT IS.

I'LL ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

TRY SOMEONE DUMBER.
