"See here this most peculiar melon. Its roundness, and plumpness, and most importantly of all, it's so vastly interesting! How peculiar, that a simple melon could be so tremendously. . . interesting. Feel the rind. It's smooth and bumpy at the same time.
"Smell it.
"Go ahead, smell it.
"I SAID SMELL IT! Tee-hee, forgive me, but please won't consider how incredibly. . . interesting this melon is?"
"Agh get away from me, weirdo!" Evan reacted to the man holding the melon up to his face. "Hey, Jamal, let's go before this guy says how interesting this melon is again!"
"Ah come on man, it's just a melon." Jamal replied, tossing the man five bucks.
"I don't need your charity, twit!" the man yelled at Jamal, pocketing the money. "The mere interest of this melon is what sustains me."
As his wares faded into the background, Evan and Jamal continued down the sidewalk, dumbfounded by what had just happened.
