Idea Dialog
By Peter Lloyd
Left Brain: Hey! Right Brain! Wake up. We've got to write another Right Brain Workout.
Right Brain: Give it a rest, will ya?
Left Brain: Come on, you've got no reason to be so grumpy.
Right Brain: Reason? What's that?
Left Brain: You are so difficult to deal with sometimes.
Right Brain: No, I'm not.
Left Brain: I can never get you do what I want.
Right Brain: That's because you're always trying to control me.
Left Brain: But I need an idea. Now! You know I can't write without you.
Right Brain: You interrupted a wonderful daydream.
Left Brain: How am I supposed to get anything done with a better half like you?
Right Brain: What's to get done? Life is a process, not a product.
Left Brain: That's easy for you to say, up in there clouds, no contact with reality. But I have to write a Workout.
Right Brain: You want ideas, this is where they come from.
Left Brain: So give me an idea.
Right Brain: Are you
listening?
Left Brain: Yes.
Right Brain: Promise to take good care of it?
Left Brain: Promise.
Right Brain: Promise to defend it against all your left-brain friends?
Left Brain: Promise.
Right Brain: Promise never to compromise it?
Left Brain: What do you want from me?
Right Brain: What do you think?
Left Brain: I have no idea.
Right Brain: Yes, you do. I just gave you one.
Left Brain: What?
Right Brain: You weren't writing all this down?
Left Brain: Come on. Talking to yourself is bad enough, but writing it down, that's...
Right Brain: That's what?
Left Brain: ... not a bad idea!
Right Brain: It's a great idea.
