It's…
"What's that noise?"
"It's the prompt."
What, another one?"
"Yep. We'd best hurry up, those things don't wait for very long."
"Don't hear it. Don't see it. Don't speak it."
"What's his problem?"
"Who, him? He's just the left over idea for something more dramatic."
"So what's he doing here?"
"Where else did you expect him to be?"
"Well since I didn't even know he existed, up until a few moments ago, I didn't expect him to be anywhere."
It's hard…
"There it goes again. Well we'd best get this show on the road before we run out of time."
"You can't hear. You can't see. You can't speak."
"How long is he going to go on like that?"
"Until the end of the bit."
"Do we really have to put up with him for that long?"
"Fraid so, but don't worry, he won't get in the way. Besides I think he's kind of cute?"
"I suppose, in that drowned rodent kind of way."
It's hard to…
"That's another. Just how many of those do we have to go?"
"I'm not sure, I guess we'll just have to find out."
"What are you doing? Why are you staring at him?"
"I'm just waiting to see when he chimes in."
"Well, stop it. It's rude."
"Plug your ears. Cover your eyes. Shut your mouth."
"Well, there goes Big Ben. Say, do we actually have a point, or are we just going to keep rattling on?"
"I hope not. Um, do you have anything to say?"
"Not me. I thought you were supposed to be the clever one."
"What gave you that idea?"
It's hard to let…
"What did you say? I couldn't hear you over the prompt."
"It's not important."
"Well, considering how unimportant our dialogue has been up to now, I would say that is debatable."
"I was just saying that you seemed to be the one with all the answers and the quips."
"I don't, always."
"Just most of the time."
"Okay, I'll have to concede this round to you."
It's hard to let go…
"Ahhhhhh!"
"Why are you screaming?"
"Didn't you see the wall?"
"What wall?"
"Bury your head. Close off the world. Listen to your heart."
"You stay out of this."
"You needn't vent your frustrations on him."
"Well, he completely derailed my train of thought."
"A short trip, to be sure."
"Oh, ha ha, very funny. As I was saying, wait, what was I saying?"
"I think your engineer is asleep at the controls."
"Can we lay off the locomotive puns?"
It's hard to let go of…
"Oh boy, we're running out of time."
"How do you know, I thought you said you didn't know how long this was?"
"I don't. I just know we don't have much longer."
"Okay, Miss Cleo. I guess I'll just have to trust what you're saying."
"Don't listen to the lies. Don't believe the shadows on the wall. Don't look into the dark."
"And three. Well I guess that's going to be his shtick."
"It's not that bad, certainly a lot better than what we've been spouting."
"Only in that it's open to interpretation. Otherwise, It's just as baseless as our conversations."
It's hard to let go of the…
"That was the last one."
"Thank you again, for giving information you can't explain."
"It's not my fault. It's just…"
"Lazy writing."
"I wouldn't say that."
"I would."
"Down into the depths. No more no less. Look up into the light. Count to three say goodnight."
"He broke pattern. We must be at the end."
"So what do we do?"
"I guess we just wait until the prompt is over."
"But it doesn't move unless we do something."
"That's a good point. So what do we do?"
"Do I look like a long haired buzzard to you? Stop fielding the question my way."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Well you could-"
"Hold up."
"Why?"
"Because it's too late."
It's hard to let go of the day.
