Scene 1
(INT. STUDIO ROOM, LIVE STREAM)
Ernest: So apparently, today's Google doodle is Sir William Henry Perkin's 180th birthday. You know what? I know this dude. He was a chemist who invented the synthetic purple color, called mauveine I guess (*checks Google doodle info*) yeah, mauveine.
Edward: Hmm, purple eh? Hey, it's my favorite color, you know! And he's a chemist too? Holy shit.
Ernest: Yeah. Was actually discovered by accident if I remember correctly.
Ted: Neat. Looks like I should grab some mauveine dyes or something for the lulz. Go purple!
Ern: Goddammit, Ted, why? Why are you so attached to purple?
Ted: Well, it's just a really nice color you know. Not as mainstream as blue and looks amazing. Hell, I've even preordered the purple Galaxy S9+.
Ern: Ted the purple-loving zoologist. That's you.
Ted: And why the hell are you so attached to brown, huh? Your pants are all brown, your shoes, your backpack, and even your goddamn goggles strap are fucking brown!
Ern: Goddammit, you just found my weakness (laughs)
Ted: Well, looks like we both have an almost completely different personality.
Ern: I guess? Hey, this shit's getting offtopic. Aren't we talking about that Perkin dude?
Ted: Yeah, then why the fuck should you derail the topic to questioning about why I like purple?
Ern: Well, I'm just asking. Every time you see something nice and it's purple, you buy it.
Ted: But you do that shit too! Don't blame me like this if you do the same thing.
Ern: Uhhhh... whatever.
