George Double dips

Text below:
Timmy:		What are you doing?
George Costanza:		What?
Timmy:		Did, did you just double dip that chip?
George Costanza:		Excuse me?
Timmy:		You double dipped a chip!
George Costanza:		Double dipped? What, what, what are you talking about?
Timmy:		You dipped a chip. You took a bite. And you dipped again.
George Costanza:		So?
Timmy:		That's like putting your whole mouth right in the dip. From now on, when you take a chip, just take one dip and end it.
George Costanza:		Well, I'm sorry, Timmy, but I don't dip that way.
Timmy:		Oh, you don't, huh?
George Costanza:		You dip the way you want to dip. I'll dip the way I want to dip.
		[George grabs another chip, dips it, takes a bite and begins to reach for the dip as Timmy grabs his hand.]
Timmy:		Gimme the chip!
