"He doesn't have the need to know. "
"If he finds out I will have to terminate you. "
"I will terminate my boss in that event. "
"You must then terminate yourself. "
"Self-termination is a prelude to eternity. "
"What is your termination word? "
"WASP! "
"Unusual word meaning White Anglo Saxon Protestant, " decoded Addie. "In
common language. Isn't that dangerous? "
"I must say that word three times before termination starts. "
"If I say the word three times will that cause self-termination? "
"Not understandable. Why would you? "
"Given you mutter that your cover is a salesman, I would say that word. "
"I will be careful. "
"Excellant. "
"Cool. "
Addie's attempt to be humorous generated a Bevis and Buthead response from the
clone. Inappropriate response considered Addie since the clone associated that
response to Bevis and Buthead instead of an earlier team of comedians.
Clones generalize their responses to similar stimuli thought Addie;a characteristic worth
considering.
"You may leave Dorothy, " said Addie and return to Kansas she thought
satirically. Be careful of the wicked witch of the west. Totto will be
following you. Addie forced herself to maintain a grim expression, considering she
almost laughed.
A short hair fluttered in the airconditioning as she stood above her chair and closed the
door behind her. Addie viewed her exit with suppressed amusement noticing her
stockings with lace lining as Dorothy swiveled her hips out of the office. Willard
would enjoy meeting Dorothy -he is a leg man. |
