What would you like to talk about?
Scott: Toys, we keep saying.
Helen: Toys, but what sort of toys?
Scott: No, we just mean toys. Toys, toys, good for the heart, the more you eat the more you fart.
Why do you want to talk about toys?
Scott: Toys would be the best.
Why do you like toys?
Helen: Because.
Scott: Because it’s what children always do.
Why do children always like toys?
Helen: Because.
Scott: Well…
Helen: Because.
Scott: Because they’re children.
Do children know to like toys?
Helen: Yes.
Scott: Because children might sometimes get bored and they have something better than playing on the DS to do.
What does that mean?
Scott: So they have something better than playing on computer games to do.
You mean toys are better for you?
Scott: Yes, toys are better for you and don’t give you computer eyes.
Helen: Warm ears and sad eyes.
What’s the best thing about toys?
Helen: Because.
Scott: Lego.
Helen: Build A Bear.
Scott: Build A Bear isn’t a toy, it’s a cuddly, it’s a workshop. It’s Build A Bear Workshop. BBW. What does the ‘W’ stand for?
Helen: Satsuma.
Scott: It’s a workshop.
Helen: It isn’t, it’s where you get your bear.
Scott: No, it’s a workshop.
Do you like toys?
Scott: Oh yes.
Helen: Oh yes.
Scott: Oh yes.
What would the world be like with no toys?
Scott: Boring. It would be the most boring thing in the whole galaxy.
What would you do instead?
Scott: Just play Mario all day.
Helen: If Scott was playing Mario, I wouldn’t have anything to play with.
What about if there wasn’t any Mario?
Scott: I would just sit around all day reading the newspaper.
The newspaper?
Scott: Oh yes.
But you don’t like the newspaper.
Scott: It also would be good for my reading.
So it would be a good thing to have no toys or Mario?
Scott: No, it would be a bad thing, the worst thing in the world.
But it would make you smarter.
Scott: No it wouldn’t. I know all the words in the newspaper anyway. I wish the newspaper was about something else, something good, not something boring adults talk about.
Like what?
Scott: Mario.
It wouldn’t be a newspaper then, would it?
Scott: It would be a Mariopaper, a Marpaper – the Daily Mario.
One of Scott's favourite toys - Lego Ninjago.
