"That... that's the biggest present I've ever seen."
"Well, I suppose I could have made it bigger, but that was the longest iso container they had available."
"And how did you wrap it?"
"Oh, you know. I hired this company that wraps jets.”
“Why? Why did you…?”
“Well, I couldn’t afford to wrap a whole building, sorry….”
“No, no, I mean… seriously. How do I open this?”
“Here. Really Big Knife, tee emm. Part of the gift.”
“This… this is a really, really nice knife.”
“Of course. It’s your birthday.”
“Okay… oh, wow. That’s… well, that’s a relatively large box. Inside a giant box. What…”
“This one you can open with just a Relatively Large Knife.”
“More knives. You do know the way to to my heart.”
“Of course I do… you wouldn’t put up with me otherwise.”
“Mmm. I wouldn’t say that. So… these are really, really nice knives. And that is a box inside the box inside the crate. You got me a washing machine?”
“I did have to pillage an appliance store for the box.”
“What are you up to?”
“Keep going. Oh… here’s a knife for this one.”
“This is a sweet little knife. I like the balance.”
“It works for throwing, too.”
“You know, you probably killed three or four stands of trees wrapping all these… look, another box. On a table?”
“Well, it needed a table, so that goes with the gift. And all the paper is post-consumer recycled.”
“Knives, furniture, and green. Are you proposing?”
“That would be telling, wouldn’t it?”
“I’m - I assume - going to get to the center of these boxes eventually.”
“These are, in theory, boning shears…”
“Now we get to the boning.”
“Later. There’s a blanket in the back of the iso crate…”
“Later. I think they can handle cardboard… nice. Like buttah. And… another box? How deep do they go?”
“You’ll have to keep digging.”
“Man, we’re going to be here all night.”
“Dinner reservations aren’t for another hour - right on the pier.”
“You think of everything.”
“I thought of a tiny pocket knife.”
“Of course you did. And… ooo. This is the knife strip I wanted. And the knives I wanted…”
“The knife strip has a hidden compartment.”
“For all those things you need to hide in your kitchen?”
“Well, in this case… for a key.”
“…oh. Oh wow.”
