[ smart moth(man). ]

It isn't.

We tried to control our creations, at first. Maybe we should call them our children? In any case - they were interesting, for a while. Our very own Adam and Eve.

And then there's Delphine, of course.

[1966]

Do you think of them as your children?

[ that sounds... awfully attached. 'creations' works just fine for adam. subject, tools. means to an end. ]

She visits me often.

[viver]

No. But others would think of them as my children.

[ Is that why Adam and Eve left their uncaring creators? Yes, yes it is. ]

We've been keeping Delphine alive for several centuries now. Sully is very fond of her.

[1966]

How do you do it?

[ you know. jw, for normal purposes. ]

[viver]

Someone on your mind?

[ Not something. ]

[1966]

You ask as if you don't already know.

[viver]

It's only polite.

[1966]

Well?

[ impatient. ]

[viver]

I couldn't show you, Adam. Not here.

[ The woes of being nerfed. ]

They've taken from you too, haven't they?

[1966]

But you could tell me.

[ the second question he leaves unanswered. ]

[viver]

The next time we meet.

[ There's no way to put it in a text. Even if there were - it'd be beneath what it represents. ]
