A TAPPED TELEPHONE CONVERSATION...
Knott : Who's calling?
Watt : -Watt.
Knott : -What is your name, please?
Watt : -Watt's my name.
Knott : -That's what I asked you.
-What's your name?
Watt : -That's what I told you.
Watt's my name.
A long pause, and then from Watt,
Watt : -Is this James Brown?
Knott : -No, this is Knott.
Watt : -Please tell me your name.
Knott : -Will Knott.
Watt : -Why not?
Knott : -Huh? What do you mean why not?
Watt : -Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name?
Knott : -But I told you my name!
Watt : -Didn't you say you will not?
Knott : -Not not, knott, Will Knott!
Watt : -That's what I mean.
Knott : -So you know my name.
Watt : -Of course not!
Knott : -Good. So now, what is yours?
Watt : -Watt. Yours?
Knott : -Your name!
Watt : -Watt's my name.
Knott : -How the hell do I know? I am asking you!
Watt : -Look I have been very patient and I have told you my
name and you have not even told me yours yet.
Knott : -You have been patient, what about me? I have told you
my name so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet.
Watt : -Of course not!
Knott : -See, you even know my name!
Watt : -Of course not!
Knott : -Then why do you keep saying of course Knott?
Watt : -Because I don't...
[Pause]
Knott : -What is your name?
Watt : -See, you know my name!
Knott : -Of course not!
Watt : -Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name?
Knott : -To find out your name!
Watt : -But you already know it!
Knott : -What?
Watt : -See, and you know mine!
Knott : -Of course not!
Knott : -Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name
is, what will be your answer?
Watt : -Watt's my name.
Knott : -No, no, give me only one word.
Watt : -Watt
Knott : -Your name!
Watt : -Right!
(pause before it hits him]
Knott : -Oh, Wright!
Watt : -Yeah!
Knott : -So why didn't you say it before?
Watt : -I told you so many times!
Knott : -You never said Wright before
Watt : -Of course I did.
Knott : -Ok I won't argue any more.
-Do you know my name?
Watt : -I do not.
Knott : -Well, there you go, now we know each other's name.
Watt : -I do not!
Knott : -Good!
[pause before it hits him]
Watt : -Oh, Guud!
Knott : -Good.
Watt : -No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch?
Knott : -No, it's Knott!
Watt : -Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud.
Knott : -Yes Wright.
Knott : Who's calling?
