Morning Burt, how are the roses?
Hey Claire, you okay?
Hi Lily, congratulations!
Hello Mr. Williams, your tea is ready.

Shelly! Not in the house!
Izzy, can you not?
Ruben, feet off couch.
Chris, not now.

I love you, Phil!
You’re so kind, Alex.
My pleasure, Ash.
Thank you, Hank!

That’s a great point, Jade.
Couldn’t have said it better, Rory!
I agree with you there, Tom.
Exactly, Connor! Exactly!

You insist upon hurting me, Ollie.
Ravi. It affects me too, you know!
The audacity, Cam, the audacity!
Jesse… at least say goodbye!

I’ll be leaving now Mr. Williams, goodbye.
See you Lily, thanks again!
Bye Claire. You know where to find me.
Evening Burt. See you tomorrow.

I walk to get there,
I work to buy that,
I watch to learn this,
I work out to date them.

I go there to be on time,
I buy that to have fun,
I learn this to feel smarter,
I date to have children.

Everything done should have purpose,
Everything done should have aim,
Everything done should be productive,
Everything done has a point.

I walk just to walk,
I work just to work,
I watch just to watch,
I work out just to work out.

I go there because I am going there.
I buy that because I am buying that.
I learn this because I am learning this.
I date because I am dating.

Somethings done can be done with no purpose in mind,
Somethings done can have no aim,
Somethings done don’t have to be productive or efficient,
Somethings done have no point and don’t have to have one.

How does anything get done with those somethings?
