Happy New Year!
B* … Grmbl… What the *bleep*?
N* I just said: “Happy New Year!”
B* Oh god, I *bleep*ing fell asleep. Aouch! *Bleep*! My head!
N* I wish you the best for 2009!
B* *Bleep* off! There’s no point in wishing me anything. Wishing is for the *bleep*ing weak!
N* … You’re right, B.
B* Of course, I am!
N* Of course, B…

B* “Could”? Another *bleep*ing pseudo-scientist claiming something he cannot even make real!
N* Wait, it seems pretty plausible. It works with tiny piezoelectric crystals…
B* Pizza what?
N* Piezoelectric. It means something that can generate electricity from mechanical energy.
B* Yeah, I see. Like me when I’m *bleep*ing Rita!
N* … You’re right, B.
B* Of course, I am!

N* Hear this, B. “From fatty molecules and bits of nucleic acids, a scientific team led by some Jack Szostak guy…”
B* What a *bleep* name! How can somebody with such a *bleep*ing name look serious?
N* Well… I was saying…  From fatty molecules and bits of nucleic acids, a scientific team could form a system capable of self-replication by harnessing the energy of the sun. Isn’t that great?
B* Great? You must be kidding me! Self-replicating fat? Any *bleep*ing bitch does this, with or without sun power, just by eating some *bleep*.
N* You don’t seem to understand, B. These guys are on the verge of creating a new form of life!
B* Yeah, sure. If they are “on the verge”, why don’t they just *bleep*ing really create life before starting to talk about it?
N* … You’re right, B.
B* Of course, I am!
N* Of course, B…
