People

A person and another person. Two people.
'Different?'
Different what?
'Are they two different people?'
Of course they're two different people. What other kind of people could they be?
'No, no. I mean are the two people different from the person and the other person, or are they the same two people?'
The same two people.
'Right. So the person and another person are the two people that came after them?'
There was no coming after them.
'Yes there was. You said: "A person and another person." And then: "Two people." The two people came after the person and another person.'
Okay, but they're the same two people.
'Right.'
