I think you are a famous writer who is having some insane fun and whizzing this little contest.
Really, you are beyond beyond.

There is a famous writer in my family (my grandfather), but I can assure you, Ma'am, that I am not a famous writer. Thank you for such a huge compliment, though. I am indeed honoured, and very grateful.

One thing that may help you which greatly helped me, was to study Philip K. Dick's dialogues. They really flow (when he was on form). When I'm writing I'll have a few of his titles open on the desk to use as a reference guide if I get stuck -- and I will get stuck. I never copy another work, but when faced with any dialogue problem I'll always see how Dick handled it and go from there.

Now here is one piece of advice I heartily recommend and would do well to take myself! While I've always considered PKD a primary influence (next to William S Burroughs and Robert Anton Wilson) I can't say I've ever kept a copy of his books on hand as reference while writing. But I can see how a close study of and subsequent reference to said works may be very beneficial.

Oh yes I can
I swear to God!
I'll see you in hell!

To rephrase, good story. It all makes a cohent whole. No glaring discrepancies.
