Give or Take

MM: (holding up a picture) An octopus! I love them.
K: Me too.
MM: They're great.
K: Yeah. If I had to decide to "give" or "take" octopi, I would... well I guess I wouldn't give or take them, that wouldn't make sense. But if I had to choose between "like" or "dislike," I would choose "like."
MM: What about tree frogs?
K: Like.
MM: A lion?
K: Sure... like.
MM: How about... I'm trying to think of an animal you would say you "dislike."
K: Hmm. I suppose it depends what it means to like/dislike it. Sexually?
MM: No!
K: That would make the whole "give" or "take" choice make more sense.
