Hey, Sauce, I got a question.

SAUCE

Shoot, buddy.

ISAAC

(Looking pained, trying to
formulate his thoughts.)
What's a chair?

SAUCE

(Confused but indifferent)
What are you talking about, Isaac?

ISAAC

What makes a chair a chair? What do
you think of when I say chair?

SAUCE

Something you sit on.

ISAAC

This couch isn't a chair.

SAUCE

OK. A chair is something with a
back that seats one person.

ISAAC

So when I say “chair,” you think of
some thing with a back that seats
one person.

SAUCE

Yeah.

ISAAC

What color is it?

SAUCE

What?

ISAAC

When I say “chair” and you think of
what ever it is you think of, what
color is it?
Sauce looks around at the blue chair he is sitting in.

SAUCE

Blue.

ISAAC

So if I make a green chair is it
still a chair?
