T. Rex: Lots of tragedies feature people dying.
T. Rex: Isn't that cheating?
T. Rex: Death is inherently sad. It hardly takes skill to make me cry at remembering my own mortality.
Dromiceiomimus: Or others'?
T. Rex: Or others', I guess.
Utahraptor: So what, you want... comedies about people dying?
T. Rex: No! I want tragedies about people getting what they want and living long, fulfilling lives. Making THAT tragic... Now that's skill.
Utahraptor: What if it just happens to someone you don't like?
T. Rex {with tears streaming from his eyes}: *ugly sobbing*
