..
TYLTYL
Yes.
MYTYL
Do they go out when it's fine?...
TYLTYL
They can only go out at night....
MYTYL
Why?...
TYLTYL
Because they are in their shirts....
MYTYL
Do they go out also when it rains?...
TYLTYL
When it rains, they stay at home....
MYTYL
Is it nice in their homes, say?...
TYLTYL
They say it's very cramped....
MYTYL
Have they any little children?...
TYLTYL
Why, yes; they have all those that die....
MYTYL
And what do they live on?...
TYLTYL
They eat roots....
MYTYL
Shall we see them?...
TYLTYL
Of course; we see everything when I turn the diamond.
MYTYL
And what will they say?...
TYLTYL
They will say nothing, as they don't talk....
MYTYL
Why don't they talk?...
TYLTYL
Because they have nothing to say....
MYTYL
Why have they nothing to say?...
TYLTYL
You're a nuisance....
(_A pause_)
MYTYL
When will you turn the diamond?
TYLTYL
You heard Light say that I was to wait until midnight, because that
disturbs them less....
MYTYL
Why does that disturb them less?...
TYLTYL
Because that is when they go out to take the air....
MYTYL
Is it not midnight yet?...
TYLTYL
Do you see the church clock?.
