Seraph: What was Adam saying?

Eve: Oh, before he went out exploring and naming in the morning, he'd say that the Highest-up didn't separate us into man and woman for nothing. That's why I should do the cooking while he did the looking.

Seraph: I see. Well now, Eve, will you please tell us exactly what happened when Adam returned from his looking. I don't have to tell you that this sequence of events is crucial in our establishing his guilt or innocence.

Eve: O.K. As I recall, I was finishing up the salad when Adam came back muttering, "I know a hippopotamus when I see one, and that big fat thing in the river is a hippopotamus...What's for lunch?"

"Caesar salad," I told him, "your favorite."

Then he said, "Wow!" or maybe it was "Wow! Wow!" He was just about to dig in when he said, "Wait a minute, Eve. I thought we were short on apples. You didn't..."

"How do you like them apples?" I said.

"They're nice," he said, "real nice." That's when he started eating.

Seraph: So you are telling us that as far as you know Adam had no prior knowledge of the source of the apples or of the burglary of the TKGE. Is that correct?

Eve: Well, with all due respect, I really don't see what difference it makes.

Seraph: Now what can you possibly mean by that?

Eve: We're under investigation for doing something evil when we should have known enough to do something good, right?

Seraph: Right.

Eve: And the evil thing we're supposed to have done is eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, right?

Seraph: Right.
