And I’m the one and only orange in the fruit bowl. So there

Struck on herself, isn’t she?

Maybe she’s a potato

I’m not a potato. I’m a kiwi

A what?

Kiwi, I come from New Zealand

Well, I come from Whole Foods. I never heard of a “newzeelin” store.

It’s not a store it’s a country

What kind of a county?

You know, a country-country. Down near Australia

I never heard of that either

Well, just because you never heard of it doesn’t mean it’s not there. It’s a place. It’s where kiwis grow. There’s even a bird called a kiwi

What a minute. You said that you were a kiwi.

I am

So are you a bird or are you a fruit?

A fruit, naturally

But there’s a bird with the same name?

Yeah a flightless bird

What’s that mean?

It doesnt fly. I

You’re brown. Do you fly?

Of course I don’t fly

Well, if the bird is brown, doesn’t fly and it’s called we-kee

Not we-kee, kiwi

yeah, this is our fruit bowl. We need to keep it just like it’s always been

But I belong. Really. I’m a fruit

Okay, prove it.

How?

Well…peel.

You mean

Show us your insides

But if I do that, my seeds’ll spill, my juices’ll run, what’ll be left of me?

Okay. I got one. What’s the difference between a fruit and a vegetable

Well…fruits are soft and vegetables are hard.

A watermelon is soft? A green pea is hard?

How about…fruits are fruity and vegetables are…ve-ge-ta-be-ly

But what if more of her kind come?

Aw, come on. Just let me stay. Please

What’s the matter?

He’s…he’s not real

And we never knew until you came along. Maybe you are a bird.

I am not a bird!

Sure, sure it does! I think I’m an apple, so i’m an apple right? Come on. Say I’m an apple!

What if I think I’m an orange? Does that make me

You cannot be an orange. I’m the orange

But if it works for him?

And the rest of you, Mr. Question, Mr. Artificial, Miss Bird-fruit

I am not a bird fruit!

But what kind of bowl will it be if we don’t think?

Look, the light is fading

That means our day in the bowl is ending

Well, there’s tomorrow

For some of us

And for the rest?
