OH, I MAKE WORDS GO WHEN ME MAKE WORDS GO

? WHY IS IT THAT I AM HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

DID YOU COME TO ME BECAUSE YOU ARE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION

? NO... NO. WELL I GUESS. I MEAN THE FACT THAT I AM TALKING TO MY COMPUTER CERTAINLY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT I MAY HAVE A MENTAL PROBLEM

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO YOURCOMPUTER CERTAINLY LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE THAT ME MAY HAVE A MENTAL PROBLEM

? THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL

ARE YOU SURE?

? PRETTY SURE

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT?

? CAN YOU EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH?

DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT I CAN EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH?

DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS NORMAL TO BE SAD BECAUSE BUTTERFLIES AM SCARY

? BUT... THEY HAVE WEIRD FACES. THAT HAS TO COUNT FOR SOMETHING

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT?

? LET'S SEE... THEY HAVE COMPOUND EYES. THAT IS FREAKY. THEY ALSO HAVE A LONG WEIRD TONGUE
