“I WON! I WON!”

“You really are way too smart for me, this is the 10th time in a row that you’ve beaten me.”

“I’m the smartest person in the world, I’ve been saying it for so long, but nobody believes me.”

“I believe you. Einstein and Stephen Hawking were like Dodos in front of your supreme intelligence.”

“Of course they are. Errr…by the way, who are these people you just spoke about? And who is this Doddy?”

“Dodo.”

“Yes, yes, same difference. Who is he?”

“They’re all nobodies when compared to you. Now if you can just remove your hand from the nuclear button, I’ll tell my people that they are safe for tonight. It’s the turn of the Russian President to play you tomorrow, so I’ll go back to Iran and get some sleep.”
