Look -- ma'am -- I don't know what's going on here, if this is some kind of weird hallucination from being knocked out cold or some weirdo reaction to drugs at the er or whatever - but I don't have the time to hang around here. No offence but if this is actually the inside of your head, you should get help. And I have a promise to keep.

I have some bad news for you...

[freewilling]

I can get hallucinating multiples of someone but shouldn't it be someone I know -

[Referring to his headspace roomy.]

[iwatchtjhooker]

Not here. Pretty much all logic is off--even our kind.

[freewilling]

What do you mean our kind?

[iwatchtjhooker]

Oh, um... Well. The kind that, somewhere, at least has an explanation. However outlandish.

[freewilling]

Everything has an explanation. There's no such thing as magic, only sleight of hand.

[iwatchtjhooker]

It's just that the explanation here, all too often, is "because they said so." It's worse than dealing with angels. I promise.

[freewilling]

You been drinking, mister?

[iwatchtjhooker]

Right. I mean, no sir. It's just... things are going to get a lot weirder for you.

[freewilling]

And how d'you know that?

[iwatchtjhooker]

Because I've been there.

[freewilling]

Uh-huh sure you were, coz you're real, right.

[iwatchtjhooker]

As real as you are.

[freewilling]

This is just a bad meds trip or a concussion or something. Or something else that makes sense.

[iwatchtjhooker]

More of a shared delusion...

[freewilling]

I'm not delusional, I know this ain't real. I mean come on - wake up and you're in someone's head? That's even too cliche for the movies.

[iwatchtjhooker]

I didn't say you were delusional. I said you were a delusion. We all are.

[freewilling]

You're a delusion, that much's for certain.

[iwatchtjhooker]

But whose?

[freewilling]

I gotta cut down on the gas fumes or something...

[iwatchtjhooker]

Look, seriously, if you find a way out of this--I'm glad. Really.

[freewilling]

There's no if. I made a promise and I gotta keep it, can't do that here. Just gotta...flush whatever's causing this out of my system.

[iwatchtjhooker]

In all seriousness, I wish you luck.

[freewilling]

Thank you. [And just because you're an hallucination that's no excuse to forsake manners so a hand is offered for the shaking.]

[failedparenting]

[Oh, to be young and stupid again.]

That kind of talk's gonna get you nowhere, kid. Sorry.
