The Night of the Glass House
"James, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, Artie, what is it?"
"How come you're still wearing your hat?"
"Well, we are in Arizona, in the middle of the day."
"That's not what I meant."
"Oh, what do you mean, Artie?"
"Remember back there, when we escaped from the abandoned mine and then blew it up?"
"Yes."
"You lost your hat when you were attacked in one of the tunnels."
"Yes."
"So where did that hat come from?"
"Artie, you know I've used the same hat-maker for years."
"Jim, don't be obtuse!"
"Obtuse? I'm as trim as I ever was, well, maybe a couple of pounds heavier."
"You know very well what 'obtuse' means. Where did you get that hat?"
"I think there's a song that starts that way; let me see if I can remember it..."
"Jim!"
"Alright, but let me ask you a question first."
"Sure."
I accept that you carry a small make-up kit with you but where do you come up with some of the costumes you wear. I'm thinking of when you pretended to be Tigo?"
"Jim?"
"Yes?"
"Nice hat."
"Thanks, Artie."
