Der Freund:
"I wanna go to the flea market."

Jane:
"I once bought a really nice jacket at the flea market. That jacket was awesome."

Freund:
"I wanna buy some stuff there."

Jane:
"What do you want?"

Freund:
"Don't know. Some cool stuff. And I want to see the chicken. There's a chicken playing Tic Tac Toe."

Jane: 

"What chicken?"

Freund (abgeklärt):
"The chicken in the box."

Jane (verwirrt):
"Somebody dressed up as a chicken?" 

Freund:
"Nobody's dressed up, it's a real chicken. And he's a good chicken cause he plays Tic Tac Toe. He's in a box. When you pay a Dollar the chicken comes out and plays the game. You win a hundred Dollars if you can beat the chicken."

Jane (ungläubig):
"Say what? You are crazy. There is no chicken like that."

Freund:
"There sure is. I seen it! And it's here in Florida, too, Charlie at work told me about it. And he said 'You probably don't believe me' and I said 'I do cause I seen it'. And you know what else: I played three times and always lost."

Jane (ausufernd):
"Hahahahaha! Against the chicken!"

Freund (unbeeindruckt):
"Everybody there lost. That's why that guy with the chicken earns money like crazy. And when it's a tie, you don't win either."

Jane:
"Why not? At least it's a tie. You should get your Dollar back."

Freund:
"But it's a chicken! Don't you get it?"

Schweigen.

Freund:
"So you better watch out cause the chicken always wins."

Schweigen.

Jane:
"Why is it a male chicken?"

Freund:
"What?"

Jane:
"You say 'he' all the time. That chicken's female. If not it's a rooster."

Freund:
"Oh whatever."
