T-Rex: If you're going to write a book, you need an opening line! And what possible opening line could be better than "Hey there readers - what's the score, I guess I'm gonna write this book some more!"
T-Rex: BEST OPENING EVER.
Dromiceiomimus: I'm not sure it's the best! Much more famous openings include "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." and "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, I didn't say "famous"! I said BEST. My opening line is way better than those despite its (relative) obscurity!
Utahraptor: There are still way better opening lines that are relatively unknown!
T-Rex: Nope!
Utahraptor: I give you the first line of Max Shulman's "Sleep Till Noon": "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Four shots ripped into my groin and I was off on the greatest adventure of my life!"
T-Rex: Hah hah! Awesome. Okay, THAT one's tied for first. With me.
Narrator: SOON:
T-Rex: Utahraptor, can you help me write a whole story based around one fantastic opening line?
Off panel: Depends; what's the line?
T-Rex: "Hippity hoppity hippity hop: this story is about one SASSY-ass mop"?
