Dave

[Big worker voice] I'm gonna go in the house, OK Dave?
Uh ... [bursts into laughter]
[Very serious] Your name is Dave.
It is?
Yes.
I'm sorry for laughing. I didn't know my name was Dave. You surprised me and it made me laugh.

[Note: Buster doesn't like it when you laugh at him, and recently said, "When someone's being funny and you laugh, that's OK, but when you laugh at someone, that's not very nice." That was in his normal voice. Now you have to go back to imagining his big worker voice, which is very deep. Picture Lucille Ball dressed up as a man, for some scam, you know? And imitating a man's voice. That's what it sounds like.]

[Another note: I don't think we know anyone named Dave. It's hard to convey how out-of-the-blue this sounded. OK, I'd just apologized for laughing.]

It's not funny.
Yes it is.
No, it's not. Your name is Dave.
OK. And what's your name?
My name is Zhuzhen.
Su-Jen?
No, Zhuzhen.
Nice to meet you, Zhuzhen.
No, we live together. You live in my house, Dave.
