The Mathematician and Andrey Semenovich

The Mathematician (pulling a sphere out of his head):
I pulled a sphere out of my head.
I pulled a sphere out of my head.
I pulled a sphere out of my head.
I pulled a sphere out of my head.

Andrey Semenovich:
Put it back in.
Put it back in.
Put it back in.
Put it back in.

The Mathematician:
No, I won't.
No, I won't.
No, I won't.
No, I won't.

Andrey Semenovich:
So don't.
So don't.
So don't.

The Mathematician:
So I won't.
So I won't.
So I won't.

Andrey Semenovich:
Whatever.
Whatever.
Whatever.

The Mathematician:
So I won.
So I won.
So I won.

Andrey Semenovich: You won, so relax.

The Mathematician:
No, I won't relax.
No, I won't relax.
No, I won't relax.

Andrey Semenovich: Although you are mathematician, to be honest, you are not very smart.

The Mathematician:
No, I am very smart and know a lot!
No, I am very smart and know a lot!
No, I am very smart and know a lot!

Andrey Semenovich: You know a lot, only it is not worth anything.

The Mathematician:
No, it's worth a lot.
No, it's worth a lot.
No, it's worth a lot.

Andrey Semenovich: I'm tired with this silliness.

The Mathematician:
No, you're not.
No, you're not.
No, you're not.

(Andrey Semenovich waves his hand with sadness and leaves. The Mathematician waits for minute and then goes after Andrey Semenovich.)
