The Bright Side

Emily (whispering again): Why did you make me do that?
Dee: I... worry about the effect I might be having on you.
Emily: Really. I'm touched.
Dee: You need to socialize! With your own kind!
Emily: Why?
Dee: Because... because... Well I don't know exactly, but it seems like you should.
Emily: Well, talking to you fills my social quota, as far as I'm concerned. Without you around I wouldn't talk to anyone.
Dee: I hardly count.
Emily: Why not? You have a personality. You're at least interesting. You're human enough, I guess...
Dee: Human enough?
Emily: Well, what's so special about humans anyway! You're human shaped.
