- Ohh, that sounds real interesting.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Um, what's this conversation here?
- WAITER:
- Uh, that's, uh, 'football'. There you can talk about the Steelers-Bears game this Saturday, or you could, uh, reminisce about really great World Series.
- MRS. HENDY:
- No, no, no, no.
- MR. HENDY:
- What is this one here?
- WAITER:
- Uhh, that's 'philosophy'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Is that a sport?
- WAITER:
- Aah, no, it's more of an attempt to, uh, construct a viable hypothesis to, uh, explain the meaning of life.
- FISH #3:
- What was that?
- FISH #5:
- What's he say?
- FISH #4:
- What was that?!
- FISH #2:

- Sure. Why not?
- WAITER:
- Philosophy for two?
- MR. HENDY:
- Right.
- WAITER:
- Room?
- MR. HENDY:
- Two-five-nine.
- WAITER:
- Two-five-nine.
- MR. HENDY:
- Yup. Uhh,-- uh, h-- how do we--
- WAITER:
- Oh, uhh, you folks want me to start you off?
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh, really, we'd appreciate that.
- WAITER:
- Okay!
- MR. HENDY:
- Yeah.
- WAITER:
- Well, ehh,...
- MR. HENDY:
- Mhmm.
- WAITER:
- ...look. Have you ever wondered... just why you're here?
- MR. HENDY:
- Well, we went to Miami last year and California the year before that, and we've--
- WAITER:
- No, no, no. I mean, uh, w-- why we're here... on this planet.
- MR. HENDY:
- Hmmm. No.
- WAITER:
- Right! Aaah, you ever wanted to know what it's all about?
- MR. HENDY:
- Nope.
- MRS. HENDY:
- No. No.
- WAITER:
- Right-o! Aah, well, uh, see, throughout history,...
- MR. HENDY:
- M-hmm.
- WAITER:
- ...there have been certain men and women who have tried to find the solution to the mysteries of existence,...
- MRS. HENDY:
- G-reat.
- WAITER:
- ...and we call these guys 'philosophers'!
- MR. HENDY:
- Ohh.
- MRS. HENDY:
- And that's what we're talking about.
- WAITER:
- Right!
- MR. HENDY:
- Yeah.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Ohh, that's neat!
- WAITER:
- Well, you look like you're getting the idea, so why don't I give you these, uh, conversation cards? They'll tell you a little about philosophical method,...
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh.
- WAITER:
- ...names of famous philosophers,-- Uh, there you are. Uhh, have a nice conversation!
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
- MRS. HENDY:
- He's cute.
- MR. HENDY:
- Yeah, real--
- MRS. HENDY:
- Yeah.
- MR. HENDY:
- Real understanding. Mmm.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Oh! I never knew Schopenhauer was a philosopher!
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh, yeah! He's the one that begins with an 'S'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Oh.
- MR. HENDY:
- Umm, like, uh, 'Nietzsche'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Does 'Nietzsche' begin with an 'S'?
- MR. HENDY:
- Uh, there's an 's' in 'Nietzsche'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Oh, wow. Yes, there is. Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?
- MR. HENDY:
- Uh, yeah! I think most of 'em do.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Oh. Does that mean Selina Jones is a philosopher?
- MR. HENDY:
- Yeah! Right! She could be! She sings about the meaning of life.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Yeah. That's right, but I don't think she writes her own material.
- MR. HENDY:
- No. Oh, maybe Schopenhauer writes her material.
- MRS. HENDY:
- No. Burt Bacharach writes it.
- MR. HENDY:
- But there's no 's' in 'Burt Bacharach'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- Or in 'Hal David'.
- MR. HENDY:
- Who's Hal David?
- MRS. HENDY:
- He writes the lyrics. Burt just writes the tunes, only now, he's married to Carole Bayer Sager.
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh, waiter. This conversation isn't very good.
- WAITER:
- Oh, I'm sorry, sir! Uhh, we do have one today that's not on the menu. It's sort of a specialty of the house, you know.
- MR. HENDY:
- Oh, yes.
- WAITER:
- 'Live Organ Transplants'.
- MRS. HENDY:
- 'Live Organ Transplants'? What's that?
