• Red Green : How's it coming with my van, Dale?

  Dale : All finished, Mr. Green. I put a drop of oil on your horn relay. Your horn was sticking.

  Red Green : [somewhat incredulous]  Yeah, I know. I LIKE it sticking. That way I can let morons know what I think of them, and still keep both hands on the wheel.

  Dale : [a little sorrowfully]  Your generation is so confrontational.

  Red Green : No, we're not! I mean, doesn't YOUR generation ever lean on the horn?

  Dale : No, mostly I just use it to say hi. You know, "Beep, beep! How's it going, buddy?"

  Red Green : [exasperated tone]  Dale, a horn is not for saying HELLO, it's for saying, "Get the hell outta the way!" Like this...

  [Red honks the horn twice, long and loud] 

  Dale : [remonstratingly]  You're holding it for two whole notes, Mr. Green. See, if you just play two quarter notes, like this...

  [reaches through the driver's window and presses the horn button briefly twice] 

  Dale : ...it sounds cheerful. You should try it; it'll be cool.

  Red Green : [a bit sarcastically, indicating that he isn't buying it]  Oh, I definitely wanna be cool, Dale. That's a top priority with me.

  [starts the van] 

  Dale : Well, I still think you should give it a try, Mr. Green. You never know, you might surprise yourself.

  Red Green : [appeasingly, but still with a faintly sarcastic overtone]  Yeah, well, why don't I just do that, Dale, and you have yourself a RAINBOW DAY.

  [Red starts to drive off, then leans on the horn in earnest, blasting a REALLY loud and long honk, as Dale winces at the awful racket]
