Taken (2007)
“The Disjunctive Syllogism says that something either is or is not. I decided to try it by myself.
My first premise was: The dark boy is either evil or good. My second premise was: The dark boy is not evil (because he tried to get me out of that last bedpan thing). Therefore, my conclusion had to be: The dark boy is good. Or at least he has some good in him.
I believed that he did. I believed it enough to try to talk to him. First, as a show of good faith, I reached over, grabbed the bottle of S...mart Water, and took a swig. I waited for a positive reaction, or any reaction at all, from him, but none came. I finally muttered, “Excuse me. Excuse me. You know my name, but I don’t know yours.”
He looked up from the two-way, but not really at me.
“I need a name for you. I need something to call you.”
He turned toward me slowly and answered, “What kind of fool do you think I am? I’m not telling you my name.”
“It doesn’t have to be your real name. It can be anything. Like you guys call each other names—Monnonk, and stuff.”MoreLess
