Lewis, David - Philosophical Papers Volume I

Argle. I believe in nothing but concrete material objects.
Bargle. There are many of your opinions I applaud; but one of your less pleasing characteristics is your fondness for the doctrines of nominalism and materialism. Every time you get started on any such topic, I know we are in for a long argument. Where shall we start this time : numbers, colors, lengths, sets, force-fields, sensations, or what?
Argle. Fictions all! I've thought hard about every one of them.
Bargle. A long evening's work. Before we start, let me find you a snack. Will you have some crackers and cheese?
Argle. Thank you. What splendid Gruyère!
Bargle. You know, there are remarkably many holes in this piece.
Argle. There are.
Bargle. Got you!
