Bits of Babel: Intellectual Flare-Ups

TRABOR:

Hello my flock!

JUMPINGJACKFLASH:

Good evening one and all! How goes it?

TRUDITRU shouts Hi Flash!

TRABOR:

You all suck at chess I know. How many dots
are in "idiot"?

LULULELIP:

Yes, Trabor, that's why we're here.

LIPSYNC:

Since I'm already an idiot it's three. Three dots
at least, right?

TRABOR:

Yes.

LIPSYNC:

I'm happy now.

TRABOR:

Rightly so.

LULULELIP:

You're a genius Lipsync.

LIPSYNC:

I guess I am. Feels great. Thank you all and
good night!

LULULELIP:

Please explain to us idiots, in slow and simple
words, how such Einstein flashes dawn on you
so easily!

LIPSYNC:

It's a secret only non-idiots may know.

TRABOR:

LOL! IDIOT=i+dot+i! Got it?

LULULELIP:

But the second "i" in "idiot" ruins your solution.
