Capistrano

"So every year the swallows return -"

"Which ones are they again?"

"Those, there."

He waved vaguely with an impatient head shake at a tree where several different kinds of birds were perched. Rose sighed in annoyance.

"And people come from all over to see -"

"But which are they?"

He groaned. "Those."

"You mean those - those little ones?"

"Yes!"

"Oh."

"Oh?"

"Well, they're not very interesting are they?"

"They're not...interesting."

"Well, for all the fuss I thought they'd be more colourful. Or I dunno... bigger?"

"Bigger?"

"Are you going to repeat everything I say?"

"I'm not repeating everything you say," he argued.

Rose smirked.

"My mistake."
