It's just a difference of opinion that got out of hand.Hunter: What about?Rivetti: It's really too silly to talk about, Sir. I'd really just forget about...Hunter: I don't give a damn about what you'd rather forget about. Why were you two fighting?Rivetti: I said, the Kirby Silver Surfer was the only real Silver Surfer. And that the Moebius Silver Surfer was <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. And Bennefield's a big Moebius fan. And it got of hand. I pushed him. He pushed me. I lost my head, Sir. I'm Sorry.Hunter: Rivetti, you're a supervisor. You can get a commission like that.Rivetti: I know, Sir. You're 100 percent right. It will never happen again.Hunter: It better not happen again. If I see this kind of nonsense again, I'm going to write you up. You understand? Rivetti: [No answer] Hunter: Do you understand?Rivetti: Yes, Sir.Hunter: You have to set an example even in the face of stupidity. Everybody who reads comic books knows that the Kirby Silver Surfer is the only true Silver Surfer. Now am I right or wrong?Rivetti: You're right, Sir.Hunter: Now get out of here.Rivetti: Yes, Sir.So it is with movies, RPG adventures, video games, novels, plays, poems, and all other mediums in the narrative arts.</blockquote>
