Strip by: Nyperold

Man 1: Hey!
Man 2: Oh, hi!
{Man 1 consults a sticky note. It has only one list item, but it is numbered nonetheless.}
Sticky Note: Normal human conversation 1. Ask them about themselves
Man 1: How many ...apples... have you eaten?
Man 2: ...Like, in my life?
Man 1: Yes.
Man 2: Real, dream, video game, or total?
{Stunned and perhaps disturbed by the offer of such a detailed answer to his attempt at small talk, Man 1 has only one response.}
Man 1: ...I should go.
Man 2: OK.
