bluegargantuaAnnouncer: Welcome to the Cross-time Philosophical Cage Match! We take some of the greatest thinkers of past, present, and future and send them into the ring for a no-holds-barred bare-knuckle intellectual contest to determine who knows what about anything! Our first match promises to be a real barn-burner! Tonight, ancient Greek philosopher Socrates will take on 20th Century free thinker Ayn Rand. Should be an amazing show.
*Ding-Ding!*
Ayn Rand: I think you would agree, Socrates, that it is the Individual and their constant struggle what really matters.
Socrates: Hmmm...that's interesting. Why do you say that?
[30 minutes later]
Ayn Rand: Uh...well...fine! I guess it's only through the actions of the Group that we achieve true meaning.
Socrates: Hmmm...that's interesting. Why do you say that?
[30 minutes later]
Ayn Rand: Oh god, I've got to get out of here! [flees]
Socrates: [turning to cross-time liaison] And you gave them the vote?
