"You're putting such dedication into keeping up this story of yours! Fortunately for you, I, the great Papyrus, have enough patience to put up with it!" He looks over at Sans and adds, in a stage whisper, "You did catch it that time, right? 'Papyrus?' I can say it a few more times if you like."
He means it, too. It's not like he's in a rush to go do anything else, he might as well go with whatever Sans is doing. This probably isn't just a story. Something's wrong, and Sans is playing games to hide what it is under a completely bizarre cover story.
Why he couldn't just stick to not saying anything is beyond Papyrus. Maybe it's practice. Telling untrue, painful things, to prepare him for saying true painful things.
