Conversational Fragments of the illustrious Haroldo Humumnie esq.

Haroldo: ...Well, that's my motto, "use caution..cautiously"
Cecil: "Caution cautiously"? *laughs* well that doesn't make much-
Haroldo: Sometimes the cautious use of caution is all we have...
Cecil: I mean.. surely being cautious is a good thing..?
Haroldo: *nods sagely then roles a loose cigarette* Seems to me the type of thing that could get out of hand..
Cecil: *sips tea, squints as he looks into the fire, then at Haroldo* Wait, what does.. caution?
Haroldo: *lights cigarette, inhaling profoundly* oh yes, surely.. first it's a little caution here, then a little there.. till pretty soon, you're cautiously pissing in a ten ton safe at the bottom of the ocean, just to be on the safe side.... *looks off over the barren wastes* seems like the type of thing one wants to give all due thought and attention to before employing..
Cecil: ...*frowns with concentration* ...so.. was that your reasoning behind hitting that three hundred pound gorilla of a man in the goolies, deflowering his three daughters, and stealing his horse.. leaving us in this rather..shall we say, awkward predicament? That's the "cautious use of caution" is it?
Haroldo: No..*exhales slowly, gesturing expansively* ..that was all just a good idea at the time....*places index finger across his lips*..but it follows a similar principle..
Cecil: *ruminates* you know..*takes another sip of tea, considering* ..sometimes I think that you're just fucking with me, Mr.Humumnie.
Harold: *inhales, looking at the stars, shrugs*...well, there's that too, yes..
