  • VI: Hey, 2.

  • 2: Oh, hey there, Vi.

  • What's up with you?

  • VI: Oh, nothing.

  • I just wanted to talk, I guess.

  • 2: Oh.

  • Oh, oh, ooh, ah, ow!

  • VI: Sorry, 2, but you know, you look good this way.

  • So symmetric and fundamental.

  • 2: Oh, I guess.

  • I just feel a little bit off when I'm like this.

  • VI: Oh, nonsense.

  • You know, 2, one of the things I like about you--

  • 2: Ouch!

  • VI: --is that you're just as 2-ish no matter how you look.

  • I mean, you're dependable.

  • 2: Ow!

  • VI: I like that in a person.

  • No matter what I do--

  • 2: Ouch!

  • VI: --you'll always be--

  • 2: Ow!

  • VI: --my--

  • 2: Ow!

  • VI: --2.

  • 2: Ow!

  • So, Vi, is something bothering you?

  • VI: I don't know, 2.

  • Life has been pretty crazy.

  • It's just nice to have some constants in my life.

  • 2: Well, you know, I'm always here for you.

  • VI: I know, 2.

  • So, how have you been lately?

  • 2: Well, same as ever, really.

  • VI: Ah, figures.

  • Good old 2, you're always just being yourself, you know?

  • I don't have to worry I'm going to come home some day,

  • and you're going to have changed your values.

  • It's not like someday I'll split you into two halves

  • and find you're not 1 plus 1.

  • You're always 1 plus 1, and I like that about you.

  • It's like, I don't know, you're something

  • that makes sense in this crazy world.

  • 2: Oh, well.

  • VI: Do you ever feel kind of different from other numbers?

  • I mean, you're prime, but your even.

  • You're the first really numbery number.

  • I mean, like 1 is barely a number.

  • It's just, like, 1.

  • 2: But all numbers are different, aren't they?

  • VI: I guess, yeah.

  • But don't you ever feel like, lonely or something?

  • I guess that doesn't make sense.

  • You're a number.

  • 2: Vi, are you sure that's not something bothering you?

  • VI: I guess I've been feeling a little out of control lately.

  • Like, I've been traveling and working,

  • and I'm almost two years behind on emails.

  • 2: Two years, you say?

  • Is that a long time?

  • VI: Oh, for an email reply?

  • Yeah, two years is huge.

  • 2: Well, that makes me feel good, doesn't it?

  • I think I like years.

  • VI: Well, I mean two years isn't long in terms of-- oh, never

  • mind.

  • That's another thing I like about you.

  • You're so patient.

  • I never need to feel rushed with you.

  • It's just nice to have something solid in my life, something

  • I feel in control of.

  • 2: Well, thanks, I guess.

  • VI: But I've been so busy lately trying

  • to do way too many things at once.

  • And I'm involved in all these projects.

  • 2: Oh, come on, Vi.

  • It can't be that bad.

  • VI: There's all this responsibility,

  • and everyone's trying to use me for their own purposes.

  • 2: Well, you know-- ouch.

  • I can't say I have a whole lot of sympathy.

  • I mean, I'm pretty busy too, you know.

  • I get used quite a bit.

  • VI: Yeah, in preschoolers' homework

  • and the titles of bad movie sequels?

  • 2: [SCOFFS] I'll have you know, I'm

  • in a great many famous books and diagrams.

  • I'm in a lot of really good diagrams and graphs.

  • And I'm quite popular with young adults these days.

  • You know, I've got a pretty good gig

  • with this whole text messaging thing.

  • You know, it's hard work keeping up with all that.

  • VI: Yeah, but 2, you're a number.

  • I can only be in one place at a time.

  • 2: Well, maybe I'm tired of it, too.

  • Maybe tomorrow some kid will be trying to add 1 plus 1,

  • and I'll just refuse to show up.

  • VI: But you are 1 plus 1.

  • You can't just not show up.

  • You're already there.

  • 2: Yeah.

  • And maybe you should think of that next time

  • before you start whining.

  • I mean, it isn't that hard.

  • You just do what you have to do, show up

  • where you have to show up.

  • There's no point stressing over it.

  • VI: You know, 2, that actually isn't bad advice.

  • You're right.

  • I should just do stuff as I go without imagining

  • all of it stacked into a precarious pile looming

  • over my near future.

  • Might as well live in the present.

  • After all, I can't not show up.

  • I'm already here, you know?

  • 2: Well, not really, I mean--

  • VI: Anyway, I'm glad we had this chance

  • to just sit and chat like this.

  • You're a good number.

  • 2: That's very kind of you to say.

  • VI: I'm going to seize the present moment,

  • and go do some important Vi stuff.

  • I'll see you later, 2.

  • 2: Well, hang on, this doesn't feel

  • that-- hey, where are you going?

  • There's a lot of cool stuff you don't know about me yet.

  • Are you listening?

  • Hello?

  • Anybody there?

  • Well.

  • Well, I think I'll just go hang out with Pi then.

VI: Hey, 2.
