Facing The Challenge

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are we doing this?"

"It's a challenge."

"So is watching 9 Star Wars films back to back."

"That's an easier challenge."

"Have you tried it?"

"No."

"I have. It's tough."

"This is a proper challenge. You'll be able to tell your grandchildren about this."

"I'll be able to tell my grandchildren that I watched 9 Star Wars films in a row."

"That is not a good example "

"Have you tried it?"

"You've asked me that already. No."

"It's not as easy as you think."

"So you say. But you can't compare this challenge to watching 9 Star Wars films. Even if the latter is a challenge, this sounds much more impressive."

"Ok, you are right. I'm just getting my mind in the right place."

"Shall we make a start?"

"Let's do it. There's just one thing."

"What do you need?"

"A reward for reaching the top. How shall we celebrate?"

"Maybe we'll try watching 9 Star Wars films in a row."

"Good on you. It's harder than you think."

"Do you have any other idea?"

"I think I'll have 9 beers in a row."

"Now, that's an offer I can't refuse."

"Great, I'm now going to focus; and I'm also going to stop talking to myself."
