Aristotle: Oi Plato, you said your friend Nadal was coming to meet us?
Plato: Yes, I did. He should be here shortly.
Aristotle: Did he say the time he was coming to meet us? After all, the movie starts in 30 minutes.
Plato: Yes, he said he would be here 15 minutes before the movie started. So, Nadal should be here 15 minutes from now.
Aristotle: I see. Yet, since we are watching a movie, it'd be nice to have him come earlier so I could formally meet him. It's hard to learn about a person in a theater. The crowd grows haste as conversations grow longer.
Plato: I understand your concern. However, there isn't much we can do about it now as he lives 15 minutes away and likely just left.
Aristotle: I guess I'll try to get to know him in the 15 minutes I have.
Plato: Although, I do remember Nadal mentioning something to me. I forget the exact details but he may not be able to make it.
Aristotle: He may not be able to make it? What exactly do you mean? Is there a 50/50 chance he makes it? Do you have any idea at all?
Plato: No, I have no idea. Also, why are you so eager to meet my friend? Why is it such a big issue if he comes or not?
Aristotle: I am not as concerned as you make me out to be. Though, it would be nice to meet your friend.
Plato: Why would it be nice to meet my friend? He isn't real.
Aristotle: Your friend.. isn't .. real? Plato, you're speaking nonsense! How would he be your friend if he isn't real?
Plato: You misunderstand me, as my friend he is real. To you, however, Nadal doesn't exist. After all, I could be completely lying to you about his existence. The entire concept of Nadal was placed in your head by me. As of this very moment, to you, Nadal doesn't exist.
Aristotle: It seems like a pointless comment to make. Obviously, Nadal's existence was placed in my head by you. After all, he's your friend and you told me about him. That's why it would be nice to meet him. Once I do he'll be real.
Plato: How naive. Even if you meet Nadal he'll still be fake! The Nadal I met and befriended won't be the same Nadal that meets you here. Even if you grow close with Nadal, you won't be the type of friends he and I are!
Aristotle: Plato, I am not trying to steal your friend. You are my best friend Aristotle. After all, I came and met you here at a moment's notice correct?
Plato: Yes
Aristotle: Ha! Your smug arrogance betrays you. By your own deductions, the person who met you here 15 minutes ago was not I. Rather, it was the I from 15 minutes ago. And the person the I of 15 minutes ago met was not you but the you of 15 minutes ago!
Narrator: Plato has a moment of reflection
Plato: I am sorry Aristotle. I must admit, Nadal isn't real. I just wanted an excuse to wait outside this movie theater with you. You are my closest friend, I just wanted to spend this time to get closer with you.
(Plato and Aristotle lock eyes, lean in, and kiss eachother)
