Thought:

“

It was: Who could get you to cry in the fewest words?

Of course, some of the best effects were made when everyone was drunk.

The last whale swam deeper…

But one of the best was a line from Chekhov’s Three Sisters.

You mean, I’m being left behind?

He couldn’t remember many others. They hadn’t played the game in years.
