Linnell: Yes.
Flansburgh: Oh robot waiter!
Linnell: Yes. Yes. What is it?
Flansburgh: What's this robot doing in my soup?
Linnell: It looks like he's performing human tasks twice as well, because robots have no sense of fear.
Flansburgh: I don't get it.
Linnell: I've got another one.
Flansburgh: Good.
Linnell: Why was six afraid of seven?
Flansburgh: I don't know, robot. Why was six afraid of seven?
Linnell: Because seven was a robot.
Flansburgh: Ah, I get it now.
Linnell: You know where I first got these jokes?
Flansburgh: No.
Linnell: Online.
