Dialogue

(Talk to Up Close, 12AM)
Up Close: Ehn-nu-ne! (We still know far too little about humans!)
Up Close: Ehn-ne ehn-ne... (Even after seeing so many of Director Cut's plays, I still can't make sense of human behavior...)
Thinking Reed: Ehn-ne! (Exactly! Like how people know staying up late is bad for them, yet they still do it anyway...)
Up Close: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne... (Humans always say the opposite of what they mean... they say "no need" when they want it, and "I'm fine" when something's wrong...)
Thinking Reed: Ehn, ehn-ne. (Perhaps humans can't even understand themselves.)
Up Close: Ehn, ehn-ne... (Humans, how profound...)
