Sorry |
I'll let you take a bite of me |
|
Are you...? |
A gingerbread man |
|
And you want me to bite you? |
If you give me a dollar, you can have a bite of me |
|
That's disgusting |
You don't have to bite me, you can break a piece off |
|
How old are you? |
Not very old |
|
You're stale |
That's not a very nice thing to say. You need some work yourself |
|
I'm sorry. It's just...I've never seen a homeless cookie |
I am not a cookie. I am a gingerbread man |
|
Sorry. I've never seen a homeless gingerbread man |
You've never heard my story? |
|
There was some poem about a gingerbread man when I was in school. I can't recall it |
Can't catch me...yada yada yada |
|
Right. You outran everybody. What happened? |
My knees gave out |
|
That's old age for ya. Why not go back to your gingerbread house |
That was the witch from Hansel and Gretel. I'm probably related to the house as some distant cousin, but that's long been devoured |
|
Do you have any relatives who can help you? |
There was the woman who baked me. She had no kids so she baked me to fill the emptiness in her heart |
|
She must have been a good mother |
I don't know. The minute I was out of the oven I ran away from her. And her husband |
|
Why? |
It was the actions of a young and foolish pastry. The urge not to be contained. Then I had a nasty encounter with a fox. Now I'm on the street selling pieces of myself for money |
|
That's crummy. Get it? Crummy? |
Stare |
|
Terrible...I meant terrible |
Most reality is terrible. I wish I were still back in the fairy tale |
|
Let me give you something |
Thank you. What part would you like to eat? |
|
I don't want any |
What? I'm not good enough for you? |
|
I'm trying to avoid sugar |
A little bit is not going to kill you |
|
I'm good |
Sounds like you're too good to eat a lowly gingerbread man like me |
|
Well...you are a little stale |
I still taste good. Yesterday a nice man came back for seconds. He even brought a glass of milk. Would you like a piece of my arm? My leg? My side is pretty tasty |
|
No... I can't |
Come on. I feel guilty taking your money without giving anything back |
|
Okay, maybe just a tiny bit. Does it hurt when you break a piece off? |
Not too much |
|
Then you better break it off for me |
You want me to cannibalize myself for you? That's asking a little much |
|
What part hurts you least? |
Take a piece of my arm. That's not too bad |
|
Okay...If you insist |
Run, run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man |
