Black and White

It should be black

No damn it! It should be white

I keep telling you that it has to be black.
Can't he even see it?

You can tell me 100 times if you want to, any imbecile can see that it's got to be white!
Can't she even see it?

Look, here's the deal. It has to be black. White never works.
White didn't work then, and it will never work again.

What do you mean white never works? White always works!!!
All I ever tried is white and it's always worked for me.

If white always works, then why do most people use black?
If he's going to be an ass and not listen to me, maybe he'll believe everybody else.

You're nuts! Most people use white.
At least all of my friends use white. Her friends are as nutty as she is.

We're going to use black, at that's that.
I'm making the choice and I'm making it now. If we use white, then he'll have won.

You use black and I'm outta here. I won't work with black. It's got to be white.
It's always been white. I'm scared as hell to change now.

Come on, you dipshit! You know you're wrong. Black is the only way to go.
I'd be lost without him. Please agree with me.

No. I'm putting my foot down. It's going to be white.
I know she'll change. She has to. I can't.

BLACK!!!
Please?

WHITE!!!
Please?
