Boy: I know it's nuts...but I feel like I'm being watched! Holy smokes! It's Mr. Butts! Mr. Butts: Hi there, Johnny! Mind if I butt in? Hee, hee! Boy: Um..thanks all the same, Mr. Butts, but I don't smoke. Mr. Butts: What? A guy your age? How can that be? Boy: The other kids are saying that smoking just isn't hip anymore... Mr. Butts: Hold the phone, youngster! That's dork talk! Fact is, smoking has never been hipper! Smoking's a classic! It doesn't go out of style! And you know why? Because it will always irritate parents! It's a completely fool-proof expression of teen-age rebellion! Boy: Wow...really? Mr. Butts: Yup! Especially if your parents smoke! They hate having to face their own hypocrisy! So go for it! Become a smoker! Boy: What the hey. I am going through a stage... Mr. Butts: There you go! You're smokin' now, kid!
