Keaton: Hey there, Benny! How's your day so far?
Benny: Um...
Keaton: Well, hold on to your socks, because it's about to become amazing! I found something so neat that I had to show somebody! Ta-da! It's a dead bat!
Benny: UGH! Why would you bring that here?
Keaton: It's my treasure! It's a beaut, huh? That unique blue fur, those long, thin legs... You don't find bats like this in just any cave, you know. This one's special. That's why I wanted to show you! Here, see for yourself!
Benny: It's a nice thought, but...I'll pass.
Keaton: Yeah, makes sense. It's a lot to take in at once. Not everyone can handle it. If I find anything more your speed, though, I'll bring it by right away!
Benny: Um. Why?
Keaton: Why? What do you mean, why?
Benny: Why are you nice to me? You're not afraid?
Keaton: Of you? Haha, what?
Benny: Most people are. If you're not, though, I don't know if I can explain it.
Keaton: Wow, you're serious? That's so weird. You're about the most gentle person I know. You wouldn't hurt a fly!
Benny: Gentle? Me...?!
Keaton: Sure. I know I'm never safer than when I'm with you. I can really lower my guard, you know?
Benny: N-no. I didn't know.
Keaton: Argh, I just remembered I'm supposed to be out on patrol. Gotta run, but I'll be back later! You'll flip when you see my next treasure!
(Keaton leaves)
Benny: Gentle? Me? What was he talking about...?

Keaton: Anyway, I didn't just come to say hi. I brought my latest treasure with me. Prepare to feast your eyes, Benny!
Benny: Keaton, wait. I have to know something.
Keaton: OK, I'm listening. What do you want to know?
Benny: Are you having me on?
Keaton: Huh?
Benny: Most people won't come within a hundred feet of me. They're too scared. But you're saying I'm gentle. Are you trying to wrong-foot me for fun? Is that it?
Keaton: Ohhh, I get it now. So that's why you look like you're about to burst into tears.
Benny: Tears?! I worried I was overdoing it...that I might frighten you away. But you felt sorry for me?
Keaton: I don't see what's so scary about it. You're not half so scary as people who hunt my kind for our pelts! Or...*shudder*... A perfectly clean, dust-free room!
Benny: If you say so...
Keaton: But hey, if you don't want me bugging you, I'll lay off. You seem pretty sensitive, and I'd hate to step on your toes! Just so you know, though, I wasn't trying to fool you or nothing. My kind doesn't go in for practical jokes. A wolfskin never lies!
(Keaton leaves)
Benny: K-Keaton, wait! Huh... Sometimes I forget he's a wolf at all.

Benny: Keaton...
Keaton: Benny! Good thing we bumped into each other, because— Argh! No! I swore I was gonna stop bugging you! Benny! It's awful that we bumped into each other! I'm super sorry!
Benny: Then why's your tail wagging so wildly...?
Keaton: I, um, just ate. These are my postmeal calisthenics.
Benny: ...Oh. The point is...I owe you an apology.
Keaton: You do? For what?
Benny: When you said I seemed gentle, I wrongly assumed you were mocking me. But now I see that you meant it sincerely. My fault, I guess, for imputing human sensibilities to a wolf. You're a simpler soul... You would never tell a lie.
Keaton: Yep! I'm honest to a fault!
Benny: That's true...in a lot of ways. Animals always have taken to me, come to think of it. They used to follow me home. Maybe it took a wolf to see the good in me that humans were blind to. Thank you, Keaton...
Keaton: Who, me? There you go, misreading my tail wagging again. Typical human! I had a big lunch, that's all. I'm not all wagged out yet.
Benny: Sorry. I wasn't sure how to handle it. But I should have been more grateful for the way you were treating me before.
Keaton: Huh! So I can come by and visit you again?
Benny: Yeah. I mean...if you want.
Keaton: Great! Because I have a huge backlog of treasures to show you. Starting with the hidden web of a giant, hairy spider!
Benny: Haha...ha... (Just nod and smile, Benny. Nod and smile...)
Keaton: Whoa! Did you just laugh?! That's a new one on me! Now I see why people are scared of you.
Benny: Huh?
Keaton: Your laugh's kinda bone chilling, man! It'd be better for everyone if you went back to your normal happy face.
Benny: Like this...?
Keaton: Yes! That's it exactly! So gentle... so peaceful...so perfect! Keep that expression forever, Benny!
Benny: I'll...I'll think about it.
