The following conversation was overheard in the back room at CAN Headquarters:
LOU: "Hey, Bud?"
BUD: "Yeah Lou, what is it?"
LOU: "What's dat over dere?"
BUD: "Where?"
LOU: "Over there!"
BUD: "Oh, that. Don't pay any attention to that."
LOU: "Yeah, but BUD, what is dat?"
BUD: "If I tell you, then will you shut up and stop bothering me?"
LOU: "Sure, Bud."
BUD: "Its a robot."
LOU: "A ro-what?"
BUD: "A robot... you know a mechanical man..."
LOU: (thinking) "... Hey Bud, what's the robot's name?"
BUD: "I thought you were going to be quiet!"
LOU: "Just please tell me his name..."
BUD: "UNO."
LOU: "I know?"
BUD: "If you knew, then why did you ask me?"
LOU: "Cause I wanna know his NAME!"
BUD: "UNO!"
LOU: "I know his name?"
BUD: "Look, I told you, UNO's his name, now shut up 'cause I got work to do."
LOU: (A puzzled look at camera.. and says to himself) "Gee, if I knew his
name I wouldn't have to ask, would I..."
LOU: "Hey, Bud."
BUD: "What now?"
LOU: "That little robot over there... I know his name?"
BUD: "GOOD!"
LOU: "Whats good?"
BUD: "I said good 'cause I'm GLAD you know his name."
LOU: "But I DON'T knoooooow his naaaaammmmme! That's why I aaaaasked you!"
BUD: "...and that's why I told you, UNO!"
LOU: (exasperated) "WHEN did you tell me?"
BUD: "Just before!"
LOU: "Well, I guess I didn't HEAR it."
BUD: "Well, I'm not telling you again."
LOU: "Wait a minute Bud... You know his name, right?"
BUD: "What did you say Lou?"
LOU: "I said YOU know his name?"
BUD: "That's the first intelligent thing you said today, now can we drop it?"
LOU: (looks at camera and slaps his own face.)
LOU: "Listen, Bud, you know his name, right?"
BUD: "RRRRRIGHT!"
LOU: "You know?"
BUD: "Now you've got it!"
LOU: "Got what?"
BUD: "His name."
LOU: "Who's name?"
BUD: "The robot's name, UNO!"
LOU: "UNO?"
BUD: "Well, YES!"
LOU: "The robot's name is UNO?"
BUD: "That's what I've been trying to tell you!"
LOU: "UNO? UNO! You know, this could get confusing."
BUD: "If you think thats bad, you should meet his sister."
LOU: "OH NO!"
BUD: "No, thats John Lennon's widow"
LOU: "Then what's UNO's sister's name?
BUD: "Dos."
LOU: "DOS? Now we're gonna start talking about operating systems?"
BUD and LOU together: "Groan!"
