Avatar: Keaton, how goes it?

Keaton: Hey, Avatar! Look at this!

Avatar: Oh, how nice. A torn-up stuffed animal. What a dream come true.

Keaton: Yeah, look at those tatters! You ever smell stuffing that musky before?

Avatar: Don't you think we should try and patch the poor thing up a bit?

Keaton: What? Why? Don't you see? This is A-grade stuff! Look at all that moist cotton falling out of the open belly! *sniff sniff* And the stench—divine! I love it!

Avatar: OK, Keaton. If you say so.

Keaton: Man, you're missing out if you can't appreciate all this goodness.

Avatar: Really, now?

Keaton: I guess I'll just have to teach you how to see this stuff like a real connoisseur.

Avatar: Huh?

Keaton: We're gonna take a look at my treasure collection! Look, touch, sniff, and learn!

Avatar: Er, what exactly do you mean by "treasure"?

Keaton: Ohoho! Eager to see the goods, huh? I guess I can whet your appetite a bit! Well, just one of my many fine pieces is an embalmed lizard! I also have a giant bat corpse! It's huge!

Avatar: Tempting as that sounds, I don't think I can manage today.

Keaton: What, not feeling so good? Well, maybe next time!

Keaton: Hey, you! Do you have a minute?

Avatar: Sure. What's going on?

Keaton: I thought today would be the perfect day to show you some of my treasures! You ready? You might want to bring a drool rag. This could get messy.

Avatar: That's OK. I think I'll be able to contain my drool. Thanks, though.

Keaton: Your loss! OK, so, first up—a spool of spider webbing! There are even spots with flies and bugs and stuff! Sorta like raisins in a cookie, but, y'know, better!

Avatar: That's...incredible.

Keaton: You bet your tail it is! And look at this: A necklace made from bat fangs! Just think of all the different animals whose blood has touched this stuff! And they're still so sharp! See? It's a little prickly when you wear it, but I think it feels good. No pleasure like pain! Wanna try?

Avatar: No. But thanks.

Keaton: Yeesh, tough customer. So, what do you think? Pretty cool stuff, huh?

Avatar: Not really. I think I'm missing something. Why do you like this junk so much?

Keaton: What? Junk? Well, what've YOU got that's so much better? Come on! Out with it!

Avatar: I don't have any treasures, but I do have books and ornaments that are dear to me.

Keaton: Neat! I knew you weren't a lost cause! You mean, like, moldy books, right? And how much rust have you got on your ornaments? Anything fully crusted over?

Avatar: Er, no. Nothing moldy or rusted.

Keaton: So...they're just normal? Ugh. No accounting for taste, I guess...

Avatar: I guess not. But that doesn't mean we can't still get along, right? What do you say? Friends? Maybe you can teach me how to appreciate this stuff.

Keaton: What? Who said I wanted to be friends? Sure wasn't me, I'll tell you that. I just wanted to make you see how great my treasures are, is all. But I guess if YOU want to be friends, I can deal.

Avatar: Keaton, your tail's wagging again.

Keaton: It is NOT wagging! ARGH!

Keaton: Avatar!

Avatar: Hello, Keaton. What's going on?

Keaton: Oh. Nothing in particular, I guess.

Avatar: OK. I guess I'll be on my way, then.

Keaton: Wait! I said "nothing in particular"! Not "nothing at all"!

Avatar: Oh, OK...

Keaton: I found some more treasure! Wanna take a look?

Avatar: Sure.

Keaton: Perfect! Look!

Avatar: Oh! What an amazing seashell! It's beautiful.

Keaton: Right? Yeah. Beautiful. No cracks, no smell, no grime. It's just a pristine, normal old seashell. Hooray.

Avatar: Hm?

Keaton: What? Got something to say?

Avatar: This isn't the sort of thing that would normally go in your collection, is it?

Keaton: Why do you say that?

Avatar: I think I know you well enough by now, Keaton. This isn't your thing.

Keaton: I see. Hm. Maybe you're right. Now that I've given it a closer look, I'm starting to think it's not so great after all. I GUESS I might as well just give it to you, Avatar.

Avatar: Keaton...did you plan on giving this to me the whole time?

Keaton: What?! Don't be crazy! This was pure spontaneity! I just happened to find something and happened to bump into you! And then I happened to realize I didn't like it, and you happened to like it! It just makes sense to give it to you now!

Avatar: Oh, I see. Of course. Thank you, Keaton.

Keaton: No need to thank me. You just got lucky, that's all.

Avatar: Your tail is wagging like crazy.

Keaton: Oh, that's just...it cramping up! Ow ow ow! Oh man, how crazy! You must think I'm super happy or something. What a hilarious misunderstanding!

Avatar: Haha, OK. Well, I'm very happy you're my friend, Keaton.

Keaton: Me too! Er, I mean...as you should be!

Keaton: Hey! I need to talk to you, Avatar!

Avatar: OK, sure. What's the matter?

Keaton: I wanted to get your opinion on something. See, I've sort of been thinking about throwing away all my treasures.

Avatar: What?! Why would you do that?

Keaton: They're disgusting, right? That sort of stuff should just be thrown away.

Avatar: But isn't all that stuff precious to you?

Keaton: Of course! But I've got a way better treasure now. I don't want to spoil it.

Avatar: Oh? What would that be?

Keaton: You!

Avatar: I'm...your treasure?

Keaton: Bingo! You smell super nice and you're so pretty! You're a top-rate treasure! Usually I hate those sorts of things, but on you they're great, just by association! I mean, who wouldn't love someone as smart and understanding and nice as you! So, uh, will you...be with me?

Avatar: Before I give you my answer, I've got two things to say to you.

Keaton: OK... What's up?

Avatar: First: I'd prefer it if you didn't call me one of your treasures. I'm not an object. But thank you for the compliment.

Keaton: Oh. Sorry.

Avatar: Second: I think it's important for partners to really consider each other's feelings. And the fact you were willing to give up your treasures means the world to me. But, at the same time, I don't want my love to give up the things he adores. So you don't have to throw away your treasures, OK?

Keaton: Your love? Did you just say I'm your love?

Avatar: Yup! If you'll have me, of course.

Keaton: Awooooooooo! You're the best, Avatar! I promise I'll take good care of you! I'll dust you and polish you every day!

Avatar: ...Aren't those the sorts of things you'd do with your treasures?

Keaton: Haha! Gotcha! It was just a joke, silly.

Avatar: Oh, you. Heehee. I think this is the start of something wonderful.

(Confession Scene)

Keaton: You are my greatest treasure of all, and you smell the nicest. Hope you're ready to be really happy. From now on, I'm keeping you all to myself.
