Shatoushka does not give the tree enough credit. The lower branches broke off to prevent further "over harvesting" of the tree, the tree was now solid and hardy.

[SHATOUSHKA]

woweee! you must be awfully strong to be able
to shake such a hardy tree...

[Alex]

The reward of seeing them land on your head provides adequate motivation.

[SHATOUSHKA]

its a good thing i brought an umbrella!

[Alex]

How nice of you to hold it over my head, why, I would almost feel ashamed at my selfishness but a little bird told me never to feel ashamed.

[SHATOUSHKA]

er... i don't recall asking you to be ashamed.

[Alex]

Evidently, the apples hit their mark. When you come to, please check the above post and dial again.

[SHATOUSHKA]

if you wanna sit and revel in your self-created
infinite delusion, so be it.
i choose not to.

grasp your finiteness.

[Alex]

still groggy?

[Alex]

Indeed. Accepting your finiteness means never having to say you are sorry!
