Two Men in Black come walking through the Door, and for once it's the taller one who looks cranky:

"Another one? What do you mean, 'They made another one?'"

"Like I said," the rounder one growls. "They made another one."

"It's been ten years! How the hell could they make another one?"

"Easy. They piled up a stack of cold, hard cash, and threw it at everybody in sight."

"Huh," K ponders. "Did they get everyone back?"

Zed shrugs. "Everybody who matters."

"Those two are even older than we are! Are you telling me they built a movie around those two gray-haired--."

"--Balding--."

"--Wheezing, decrepit--. Hell, my guy's got to be older than dirt by now."

Zed gives K a long look. "Let me buy ya a drink. Then I got to tell you something...."

K smirks. "The chief here is very capable. But he's also got a little problem with authority."

"As in, I don't put up with it," Zed growls. "Sorry, pal. I don't work for others."

"Perfect!" The Fool says. "Why should I have someone who works for me and does what I say or listens to me?"

He looks hopeful. But if they say no, then he'll just sign him up anyway. No. Kidding. He'll just go look for someone else.

K squints at the Fool, then looks at Zed. "Is it me, or did that sort of make sense. By his terms, anyway?"

"'Bout as much as anything makes any fucking sense around here," Zed rumbles.

[forgottenmotley]

"I always make sense on my terms. It's the rest of the world that doesn't get it," he says simply.

"Now, goddammit," Zed growls, "That does make as much sense as anybody ever did around here."

"What'd you say your name was?"

[forgottenmotley]

The Fool stands up and gives a bow with a tip of his hat to both me. "I am the Fool, sometimes called Alexander."

Straightening, he then asks, "And you?" before sitting back down.

Zed stares for a bit.

"The Fool."

He looks at K and shakes his head. "Guy in here finally makes sense, and he's the Fool. Don't that just fucking figure?"

But Zed slips into his full-on diplomatic mode after that. "Agent Zed. MiB. Earth."

"Agent K. Also MiB. Earth."

[forgottenmotley]

"Yes, the Fool, also from Earth," He tips his hat again.

"What's the M I B?" He figures the reasons why they state they're from Earth is because there are so many different aliens around and they want to be sure that people know where they come from. But then, why don't they say what year they're from too?

Ah, quandaries and questions.
