hello, may I help you?

yeah, I'm the painter. I'm here to paint the building.

painter? we called no painter.

I wrote down the address. it's correct, right?

well, yes.

ok then. you want one coat or two?

no no no. I want no paint. the building is covered in mosaic tile, you see. tile doesn't get painted.

and nice tile it is too. but that don't solve my problem, which is I got a truck full of paint you are telling me you don't need.

that is a problem, yes.

so how you gonna fix it?

what color is the paint?

well, you got your reds, your yellows, your blues.

the tiles here are a little. . . monochromatic, I suppose.

I don't know about that. they're pretty black and white though.

yes. maybe a little color here and there might be. . . acceptable.

fantastic. we'll have this place looking like Disneyland in no time.

actually, I'm not sure that would go over too well.

no? how come?

just a feeling.
