Alfredo:
Might I make an observation?

Olive Snook:
Compliment or criticism?

Alfredo:
A neutral thought I would say. It's not a compliment nor critical.

Olive Snook:
Neutral thought, gives me pause!

Alfredo:
Neutral for this portion of the conversation but I do have a complimentary observation as part of a follow-up discussion, which I intend to headline with an offer to repair your espresso machine.

Olive Snook:
What's your neutral thought?

Alfredo:
You seem decidedly unhappy.

Olive Snook:
I haven't decided that!

Alfredo:
No anxieties? Neuroses? Pathologies?

Olive Snook:
Garden variety. What are you beating at?

Alfredo:
I'm beating at happiness. I've beaten it into submission and bottled it for convenience. It's homeopathic.

Olive Snook:
Meaning it deeply relates to gay people.

Alfredo:
Gay only in that they are bright, they are happy!
