The scene: Lex is sitting in the living
room in the big blue chair. Alan walks in holding a banana to
his ear.

Alan: “Hello? Yes, he’s here.
Just a moment.” puts the banana down and says to Lex, “It’s for
you. Do you want to talk or should I take a message?”

Lex: stares at Alan for a moment, then says,
“You should eat the banana.”

Imagination
is not his strong suit :)
