"What are you staring at?"
"This donut."
"Why are you staring at the donut?"
"Because if I eat it, it won't be there anymore."
"So?"
"So I want to know I have power over the donut. It exists as long as I allow it to."
"Why are you doing this Tongari?"

"Vash, you always find a way to have control over any situation."

"Perhaps."
"And you chose a donut."
"Yes."

"Sometimes, Vash, that isn't possible. No matter how much you want it to be."
"There has to be! I have to find a way for it to be..."
"And that is why you are staring at the donut, isn't it? You want to find an answer."
"..."
"Then let me make the decision for you."
"You ate my donut..."
