Rinding things up

U.: It's a bowling ball.

P.: No. I think it's a giant ball-bearing.

E.: What are you guys talking about?

U.: That.

P.: Up there.

U.: It's a bowling ball.

P.: No, it's a giant ball-bearing.

E.: I don't see anything.

P.: Right there.

U.: On the windowsill.

P.: See it?

E.: Not really. I see something...

P.: That's it.

U.: It's a bowling ball. See?

P.: No, it's a giant ball-bearing.

E.: It sort of looks like a watermelon.

U.: Naw.

P.: Couldn't be.

E.: Why's it on the windowsill?

U.: I think some kid put it there.

P.: Yeah, we saw some little hands lift this giant ball-bearing up onto the sill about ten minutes ago.

U.: Bowling ball.

E.: What if it falls?

P.: That's what we're waiting on.

U.: Yeah. I want to know if a bowling ball bounces.

P.: Ball-bearing.

E.: Shouldn't you guys stand over there? I mean, if it is a bowling ball, it'll hurt.

P.: Ball-bearing.

U.: Bowling ball.

P.: Ball-bearing.

U.: Bowling ball.

E.: I don't know. I think it's a watermelon.

P.: Pfft. Watermelon.

U.: Right. Right.

E.: It's wobbling. What is that -- the tenth floor?

U.: Ninth.

P.: Twelfth.

U.: Ninth. I counted.

P.: Twelfth. I did, too.

E.: It's wobbling more. It must be windy up there.

P.: I bet the giant ball-bearing will just crush this sidewalk and fall into the sewer under us.

U.: Naw. It's a bowling ball. So it'll bounce. Right into the street.

E.: It's falling now. You guys should --

U.: Eww!

P.: Aww, nasty.

E.: That's one wet red seed-filled bowling ball.

P.: ... Ball-bearing.
