"I don't get it," Philby said.
"Come on, dude. It's simple. I don't want to explain it," Finn complained. "It's not funny that way!"
"I still don't get it."
Finn groaned. "I swear I'm going to kill you. Here's the joke again: Two penguins are in a bathtub. One says, 'pass me the soap.' The other one says, 'What do I look like - a radio?!'"
Philby frowned. "I still don't get it."
"THAT'S THE FREAKING POINT, PHILBY!"
"Jeez, dude, it's just a joke."
Finn looked away from his friend and stared into the cold, vacant eyes on the other side of the glass, their face awash in the blue-white light reflected from the screen. They were watching. Judging. They were always watching – but never understanding.
"Yes," Finn replied, his voice toneless and deadpan. A hard, cold thing. "Yes. It's just a joke."
