You know what you must do.

[greatestgood]

Do you promise? I like that side of you!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[He laughs a little.] I'll be quite the rogue for your sake, then.

[greatestgood]

I won't know what to do with you. [Lies.]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I'm sure you can come up with an idea or two.

[greatestgood]

I suppose I will have to take it slow so I can enjoy it.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I think you'll find ways to enjoy it no matter how quickly we go.

[greatestgood]

My, my you are arrogant!

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Is it arrogance, or truthfulness?

[greatestgood]

With us is there a difference?

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Probably not. But then again, that might also be arrogance.

[greatestgood]

I like your arrogance. You needn't hide it.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Perhaps I don't like my arrogance, though?

[greatestgood]

Why not? You've earned it.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I prefer to keep myself humble. It keeps me in check.

[greatestgood]

In check for what? You have no one to answer to.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

What if I need to stay accountable to myself?

[greatestgood]

I think you are too hard on yourself.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I think I need to be, all things considered.

[greatestgood]

It could be different for you. All of those little voices could be silenced.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

And if I don't trust myself without them?

[greatestgood]

Then you can trust me.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Trust you to be those little voices?

[greatestgood]

I can speak quietly.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Perhaps. But I don't know who I'd be without my little voices.

[greatestgood]

You might be more like me.
