These dialogs between two roaches, best friends for ever and a day, can be fun to do with someone else. George and Henry live in New York.
Quit Buggin’ Me

George: Sure is dark in here. Hey, Henry, you got a match?
Henry: What?
George: I said, do you have a match?
Henry: No.
G: How about a flashlight then?
H: NO. No match. No flashlight.
G: Don’t get sore at me.
H: I ain’t sore at you.
G: You sound sore.
H: Shut up.
G: See, I knew you was sore.
H: George, you are a moron. You been watching too much TV. Where would a roach like me carry a match, IF there were any small enough to carry? I got no pockets, no purse, no bag, no where to put matches. Plus fire scares me. And where would I get batteries for my tiny flashlight? You been in that butter milk up in 604 again?
G: Well, er, I did have just a bit. Smoothe, silky, yummy.
H: Oyvey. What am I going to do with you? Leave him alone for 5 minutes and he’s into some body’s batch of homemade buttermilk.
G: Was good.
H: Sure. Ok, just relax. Sit down and breathe deeply. That’s it. Better clean off those feelers too.
G: You’re a good friend Henry.
H: Sure.
G: So, do you have a flashlight?
G: Heh, heh, just teasing.
H: Sure.
G: Whew, that was some trip.
H: Sure.
G: Man, its mighty dark.
H: George, we are in a drain. The same drain we were in yesterday. It was dark then. Its dark now.
G: Sure is dark though.
H: Ok, try this. Is it darker today than it was yesterday? Think real hard.
G: Well, its dark all right.
H: But darker than yesterday?
G: Uh, I can’t tell. Its dark.
H: But darker than yesterday or the day before?
G: Its pretty dark. You really don’t have a flashlight?
H: ROACHES DON’T HAVE FLASHLIGHTS!!!
G: Oh. Too bad cause its awful dark.
H: Come on, I’ll get you home.
G: Where is that?
H: Where it always is, under the sink in 304, third crack on the left.
G: Is that far?
H: Not far now.
G: Sure is dark. Oops. Sorry Henry.
H: Yeah, yeah. I walk on them too.
G: Dark. Are we there yet?
H: Finally. Try to get some sleep.
G: Ok but its still dark.
H: Goodnight George.
G: Night Henry. Can you sing to me?
H: Ok, but just one song. What’ll it be?
G: Home on the Range.
H: Home, home on the Range, where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the sky’s are not cloudy all day...
