COAT

"Do you want a yellow coat?"

"Are you crazy? People will think someone's been sick over me!"

"I thought it was a chirpy colour myself."

"No, if you want chirpy, you should have a nice pink."

"Is there such a thing as a nice pink, you girly git?"

"Pink is a calming colour, you know. Reckon that will do you the power of good at the moment."

"I'm more of a blue geezer myself."

"Well, I always thought you were a touch sad."

"Green then? Nice, fresh yet mellow green."

"Putrid! Who wants to wear green?!"

"So all you like is pink? How camp are you?"

"I'm rather partial to lilac."

"Lilac?! You're getting more girlish by the sentence!"

"But it's not a bad colour, is it? At least it's peaceful and will encourage harmony."

"Will it?"

"Sure. Just thinking about it is making me feel more harmonious."

"Hmm. I think I'm developing a lilac liking too."

So lilac is the coat of colour hoped for by the two walls.
