SPYDER: *indistinguishable photo*
ME: The picture was too dark. I couldn't see what it was. Can you tell me?
SPYDER: A box
ME: A box of what?
SPYDER: Nothing
ME: Why did you send me a picture of a box of nothing?
SPYDER: I want it.
ME: You want a box of nothing?
SPYDER: Yes
ME: Um, okay?
SPYDER: Good.
At that point I decided to call.
ME: So tell me ... what did I really just agree to?
SPYDER: I want the box.
ME: The box of nothing.
SPYDER: Yes. Well, I want the box. Not really the nothing inside.
ME: Oh, I see. I was wondering what you would do with a box of nothing.
SPYDER: Well. Probably nothing.
Anyone else see that as a scene from an Absurdist play?

I was thinking more along the lines of the Costello (?) act of "Who's on first?"
