+# Bob
+
+Bob is a lackadaisical teenager. In conversation, his responses are very limited.
+
+Bob answers 'Sure.' if you ask him a question.
+
+He answers 'Whoa, chill out!' if you yell at him.
+
+He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying
+anything.
+
+He answers 'Whatever.' to anything else.
