Making Peace
Vladimir: We need a Ceasefire. The Violence is Escalating and we need to put a stop to this.
Hilary: I agree, but do you think our Enemies will agree to a Truce?
Vladimir: They’re as Embattled as we are. They may welcome a Suspension of Hostilities until we can agree on a Peace treaty.
Hilary: I hate to think what their Conditions will be for an Armistice. This war has Dragged on for so long.
Vladimir: I suspect they feel the same as we do. If we make a Conciliatory gesture, I think they’ll respond In kind.
Hilary: Do you really think so? We won’t Come off as weak?
Vladimir: I don’t think so. We’re taking the first step to peace. They’ll see that.
Hilary: If you say so. All right, let’s do it. This war with our neighbors is Getting old. Do you want to bring them this fruitcake or should I?
Vladimir: I’ll take it, but first I’ll make sure their ugly, dirty, mean barking dog that wakes me up in the middle of the night is tied up. I don’t want to become a Casualty while bringing them this Peace offering!
