A magician works a ballroom on a cruise ship. He does mostly sleight of hand, card tricks, low-level stuff since he never gets the same audience twice. A parrot lives in this ballroom and is the magician's nemesis. The parrot gives away the magician's tricks at the most inopportune times; saying things like, "they're all aces of spades!" or, "it's in his left pocket!"
They hate each other like poison.
One evening the cruise ship hits an iceberg and sinks. Everyone dies, except for the parrot and the magician. They're clinging to a piece of debris in the icy water, waiting for death. They stare each other down. The hatred is palatable. A minute goes by and the parrot finally says, "OK I give up, what'd ya do with the ship?"
