"Saya datang, "katanya," berharap Anda dapat berbicara saya keluar dari fantasi. "Hargai itu!" seru Hilarious dengan ganas. "Apa lagi yang kalian miliki? Pegang erat-erat oleh tentakel kecil itu, jangan biarkan Freudian membujuknya atau para apoteker meracuni Anda. Apa pun itu, pegang sayang, karena ketika Anda kehilangannya, Anda pergi berakhir dengan sebanyak itu kepada yang lain. Anda mulai berhenti."

I came," she said, "hoping you could talk me out of a fantasy." Cherish it!" cried Hilarious, fiercely. "What else do any of you have? Hold it tightly by it's little tentacle, don't let the Freudians coax it away or the pharmacists poison it out of you. Whatever it is, hold it dear, for when you lose it you go over by that much to the others. You begin to cease to be.
