The location of the delivery is relevant, but the postman didn't bring Mike anything? Was he delivering something to John? Or was there in fact no delivery, and the postman was just passing through the location? | ||

Hello Biograd Does either John? or Mike? need help with something (unrelated to mail)? Yes, Mike needs help and the postman offered to help? No or was the postman a godsend through his role in delivering the letter? no Few days ago I was reading a blog about worst movie dialogues ever and from it I got Idea for the puzzle after reading the dialogue written up. It's from an old movie "The Postman". But this is my puzzle and doesn't have anything common but the dialogue. AND YEAH THIS IS NOT A CLUE | ||

Okay, just to clarify... So Paul comes to John's home to deliver a letter to John, yes? And Mike is there? But Mike does not live there? Is Mike inside the home? Outside but on the property, like the front walk or driveway? In front of the home like on the sidewalk or in the street? Has Mike ever met John? Is it a single family home? An apartment? A townhome? Is this relevant? Does Mike realize Paul is the postman? Is Paul wearing a uniform? Is the uniform blue? I can't remember - Is this in the US? Does Mike need help? Is he waiting for someone? Does he think Paul is coming for him? | ||

Whoops! I forgot Mike was 11. Thank you for the reminder. So...Prior to Paul's arrival, was Mike knocking on John's door? Ringing the bell? In some other way trying to make contact with John? Not sure what you mean about the "character of the characters".... Is Mike a criminal? Is John? Is Paul? | ||

Did Mike want to speak with John? More precisely, did Mike want to speak with the anyone who lived at that house? Had Mike lost a ball or toy over the fence and wanted access to the backyard? Was Mike selling anything door to door, perhaps for a school fundraiser? Was Mike a Boy Scout working on a badge and needed to assist an elderly person? Did John refuse to answer the door? Had Mike been ringing the bell for a while? When Paul walked up - Did Mike think Paul would help him? Get John to open the door? | ||

Soooo....Mike rang John's bell... And then RAN away... And John answered the door, to find no one there. Yes? Was Mike trying to play a trick on John? Tease him? Did the ring and run away happen once? More than once? Relevant? Does Mike run into Paul while running away? Literally run into? Returning to the original statment... Mike says "You're a godsend, a saviour" to Paul, yes? And Paul replies..."No, I'm just the postman", yes? Was Mike being sarcastic? Was Mike being dramatic? Was Mike genuinely happy to see Paul? Was he hoping Paul would stop something? Prevent something? Protect him from John? | ||

Was Mike unable to run? Did he get his foot caught on something? Some other body part? And he was stuck there, knowing John was going to catch him? But then Paul came along? And Mike was grateful, because John would assume Paul had rung the bell? | ||

Yehhhhh Vesica You GOT IT Was Mike unable to run? Yes! Did he get his foot caught on something? Yes Some other body part? And he was stuck there, knowing John was going to catch him? Yippe But then Paul came along? Wohoo And Mike was grateful, because John would assume Paul had rung the bell? Bingoooo! I am busted *********************SPOILER*********************** Mike is a naughty boy. He loves to irritate people . He ring their bell and run off. But on the particular day when he tried to run after ringing the bell his foot slipped. Paul saw all this happening. At that instant John came to open the door and he saw Paul who was there to deliver the letter. Why would have John thought that Mike rang the bell but seeing him there he asked who he was. Paul said that he was his nephew .Mike had the lesson but didn't forgot to thank Paul for the help and promised him to be a better boy the next second CONGRATS VESICA (: Very Well Done Nice playing All | ||
