If You're Not Fired Up, Are You Even Young?

Chu Dong says lazily, "I'm your uncle Chu Dong."

"You insolent brat! Are you insulting me?"

"Insulting you? I'll hit you, too!"

"Take it from me, young man: don't be so hotheaded."

"Hotheaded? If I'm not hotheaded, what kind of young man am I?"

"Go dig for water in the desert."

Chu Dong hears this and springs out of his chair. "I freaking won! Why would I go to the desert? Why would I dig for water? Are you crazy?"
