Well, okay! Here goes.
A string walks into an ice cream shop to get an ice cream cone. When it's his turn to pick out an ice cream flavor, the shopkeeper says, I'm sorry but we don't serve string here.

When he gets back to pick his ice cream flavor, the shopkeeper says, Hey, aren't you that string?
The string pauses, then says, No, I'm a frayed knot.

I work at the Poke'Mart in Violet. Do you need anything? I can't have you snuffing out. I don't think Phoenix can handle my jokes.

I'm a long way from Violet. But thanks. Anyway, my friend's takin' pretty good care of me. Even if he is a tyrant.
[The smile fades at the sound of Phoenix's name.]
You're friends with Phoenix?
How's, uh... how's he doin'?
[... S-SHE'S KIND OF THE REASON THAT HE WAS COVERED IN BRUISES.]
