eli and caroline are talking to one another on the walkie-talkies....telling each other all about what they are doing....saying things like "what's going on?"...and "what are you up to?"
so why is this so funny? they are in the same room. looking at one another.

me to eli: "your mission today is kindness to caroline."
eli to me: "that'll be hard....harder than driving a train."
