Have We Met?

So it's the near future and I've just discovered life on another planet and the life is DINOSAURS! I'm at a national meeting of distinguished colleagues and I'm about to announce the name of the planet (Jurassic Planet), as well as be handed every possible Nobel award possible. Before I get all my awards, I provide a brief summary of my AMAZING results to the crowd, and I as say, "... so as you can see, we have directly imaged an "alien t-rex" eating an "alien galliminus", and the leaves on the trees are green which indicates the presence of chlorophyll..." When someone (you) pipes up from the crowd, clad in white lab coat, and say, "MORE LIKE BOROPHYLL." A hush falls over the room as I turn towards you and you stand up in the crowd. I slowly lower my glasses and ask, "What did you say?" You take a step closer and say, "I SAID, 'More like BORE-ophyll." I wipe my glasses on MY lab coat, and put them back on. "That's what I thought you said." The crowd turns from you to me to you to me. During our conversation, you slowly walk from the back of the crowded lecture hall towards the front stage, where I am standing. You say, "Dinosaurs? Pfft... Big whoop? Wanna fight about it?" At this point, you are within feet of the stage, and I'm standing at the edge. In response, I say, "I'LL SHOW YOU DINOSAURS!" And then I jump from the stage and tackle you to the ground. We both get up and into our "dino-stances" and beginning rawr-ing and clawing at the ground with our "dino-feet." As we circle each other, the crowd encircles us in a sort of cage-match. Long story short, we both bought the other a new, monogrammed lab coat. The end.
