Darkness and Miss Sparky

Ver­non: So what I mean is, no mat­ter how fast light tra­vels, dark­ness is already there wai­ting for it.
Chase: That’s pretty pes­si­mis­tic. Thanks for dam­pe­ning the con­ver­sa­tion.
Jobe: But you see without light there can be no dark­ness, its a con­trast, dark needs light.
Ver­non: No you’re wrong, without light there would be nothing but dark­ness
Jobe: Without light there would be nothing, dark­ness without light is like death without life. It’s sim­ple, one needs the other to exist.
Ver­non: What are you tal­king about? There is only an absence of dark­ness because of light.
Chase: *switches off lamp* See? Oh sorry, you don’t my bad, no light. *switches light back on* Can we get back to coun­ting the money?
Ver­non: Wait up, I want to see if Jobe can back up his argu­ment. Just now, we had dark­ness cause there was no light, correct?
Jobe: Yeah
Ver­non: Well there we go.
Jobe: But that’s only because you are basing your per­cep­tion of dark­ness in a place where you have seen light.
Ver­non: Now you’re just going over my head, you can’t win the argu­ment by con­fu­sing me.
Jobe: Im sorry, shall I re-phrase?
Chase: No, time is of the essence. You see the small hand on that clock? Its past the four, mea­ning we should get a move on.
Ver­non: Yeah good point, don’t want Miss Sparky here waking up and fin­ding her dog is stuf­fed
Chase: I think she would be more con­cer­ned about her hus­band
Jobe: Can we get back to the point?
Chase: Which is?
Jobe: Im right, he’s wrong.
Ver­non: Oh. So you mean to say, if I bloc­ked out the sun, the whole world wouldn’t be under a sha­dow?
Jobe: Exactly, the sha­dow is cau­sed due to a lack of light.
Ver­non: No, the dark­ness was already there, it was cove­red by the light.
Jobe: It’s all about per­cep­tion. Im right, you’re wrong.
Chase: Maybe, but Im done and lea­ving. Tell Sparky Im sorry about the wine stain.
Ver­non: Hold up, what’s your count?
Chase: 2200
00Jobe: Do we have enough for the insu­rance?
Ver­non: Not If my count is correct
Jobe: Shit. Mexico?
