-Yes, sir.
-Two brandies and soda, please.

1:07:32
Thats better.
1:07:34
lm not very good
at drinking on an empty stomach.

1:07:39
Did you ever have an imaginary friend
when you were a child?

1:07:43
Did Steven tell you that?
1:07:45
ln a way. What sort of a friend was it?
1:07:48
A little girl. Didnt you ever have
an imaginary playmate when you were little?

1:07:54
l was raised amidst the strife and tumult
of nine male and female siblings.

1:07:58
lt would have been madness
to invent a tenth.

1:08:01
Did Steven tell you my playmates name?
1:08:04
-No, he didnt.
-Bunny. Does that seem odd to you?

1:08:07
Compared to most oddities that fall
into my professional lap, its commonplace.

1:08:11
Bunny was the name of a character
in a childs storybook.

1:08:14
She was a lovely character, so l named
my playmate after the girl in the book.

1:08:19
Then later, when my daughter was born,
l called her Bunny...

1:08:22
as a nickname.
1:08:24
lsnt that what
youre really questioning me about?

1:08:26
lm not questioning you, Miss Lake.
lm just trying to know you better.

1:08:30
What happened to the Bunny
in the storybook?

1:08:33
How did her story end?
1:08:37
l cant remember.
1:08:39
Well, what happened to the Bunny
you invented?

1:08:43
When l began to outgrow her,
we decided it would be better if she died.

1:08:47
-We?
-Steven and l.

1:08:49
He had read about
this Buddhist funeral ceremony...

1:08:52
they have each year in Japan
for broken dolls.

1:08:55
So we dug a grave in the garden...
1:08:57
and then we buried her
after burning all her things.
