The Sake of Argument

{{Title text: 'It's not actually ... it's a DEVICE for EXPLORING a PLAUSIBLE REALITY that's not the one we're in, to gain a broader understanding about it.' 'oh, like a boat!' '...' 'Just for the sake of argument, we should get a boat! You can invite the Devil, too, if you want.'}} [[Woman talking to a man]] Woman: Just for the sake of argument, let's say that-- Man: -- wait, for the sake of what? [[Zoom in on man]] Woman ((off scene)): Argument. Man: Ok, cool, that's totally a good reason to say something that's wrong. Gotta have arguments. [[Zoom out to original scene]] Woman: I'm just playing devil's advocate. Man: Ok. So you saw an argument where one side was the devil, and you were like "man, that guy could use an advocate." [[Zoom out and in silhouette]] Woman: It's... why are you being so difficult? Man: For the sake of argument. Woman: Argh! Man: Yay, it's working!
