Peek: So how did you get on with Seeke?
Boo: Good, we scratched each others itch. And you with Hyde?
Peek: Nothing, we don't know each other, we talked. It was nice, that was it, that was all.
Boo: You and your talking, you make things complicated.
Peek: Things do seem simple for you, I'll grant that.
Boo: Not always though, even God knows that.
Peek: But you have the simple life?
Boo: And what is that?
Peek: A life free from unnecessary complication, a life driven by purpose.
Boo: My aim in life is straight forward, a belly full of food and beer and an arm around a woman. My life is simple not because it has purpose but because the purpose I have is simple. And how about your life, is it simple?
Peek: Do I want anything different from you? Not much, you can see I like food and drink and Hyde is a woman I wouldn't mind to fumble with.
Boo: But you want more!
Peek: Do I want more? Maybe a conversation of interest or two, an idea, no more than that.
Boo: You and your ideas, with that you have already made your life more difficult. Men and their ideas, the world would be better off without them.
Peek: Better off without men or better off without ideas?
Boo: If you ask Seeke she'd probably say both!
Peek: We have to tend the fields tomorrow, let's go.
Boo: Yes, let's go.
Two exit.
