1984
"It's like we're a bunch of eight year olds at summer camp", muses Kenny, receiving the glass of milk Carl has just poured him.
"I regret to say we don't have anything stronger", says Carl.
To Tron, or Ethan, Kenny says, "Back in the days of the Roman Empire, how did you ever cope without chocolate?
He replies, "We had dates, and figs, and pomegranates, and such wine finer than any that ever flowed from the hills."
"What is it about milk and chocolate?" says Erik. "They seem to perfectly balance each other."
"Sorry we don't have anything stronger," says Carl to Tron.
"The chocolate does taste idyllic", he says.
Carl says, "Apparently milk chocolate has the same fat to sugar ratio as human breast milk. Ain't that a riot! We're all crying Mommy, like we all want a tit or maybe something else to suck on, and then just like little sweetie we fall into a food coma for our little nappy."
"Something else to suck on", cackles Kenny.
"Donuts have the same ratio," says Erik.
"Homer Simpson effect", screeches Kenny in a peal of drag queen laughter. "Doooouuuuggghhhhnut!"
Tron is clearing his throat quite audibly and says "May I get on with my tale?"
"Yes, please", says Carl, "You have to forgive my ADHD. At the end of a long day it sometimes gets a bit out of control", he says with a nervous giggle.
Tron resumes, "On his third visit, Dionysus, the governor, came carrying a large bag of money and another bag full of his personal items. He handed the money to Thera and said, "This is for the care of my child that your daughter has given birth to. I have left the palace, I have resigned my post and now I must find a safe harbour for soon they will be searching for me. Then, looking intently on all of us he whispered, "what must I do to be saved?"
