"Like ice,
he melted out of sight."
:20:11
How did you learn it?
:20:13
Isn't it beautifuI?
:20:15
Not bad.
:20:18
Don't you like it?
:20:19
Not bad. It's funny.
:20:22
Funny?
:20:23
"The dagger in its skin
of night." It's a bit...
:20:28
A bit what?
:20:29
Odd.
:20:31
I think it's powerful.
You didn't know he wrote it?
:20:38
How come you know it by heart?
:20:41
I read it so often, it sank in.
:20:45
Plum loves it,too.
:20:46
Dick often recites it to me.
:20:51
You never write now?
:20:53
No,thank God!
:20:55
That's a real shame.
:20:56
I wish I had your talent.
:20:58
I remember "Flying Monkeys."
:21:00
You can't possibly!
:21:03
-Can you recite it?
-It's too long.
:21:06
It's a novel.
:21:08
Hardly! It was the opening

:21:13
I gave up after...
three or four pages?
:21:15
It was more than just sci-fi.
:21:19
Was it in the school mag?
:21:23
What was it about?
:21:26
This guy...
:21:28
who stuck propellers
on monkeys' heads, right?
:21:33
First, he makes them do chores.
:21:36
Then he uses them
to spy on people.
:21:39
They were gibbons.
:21:40
What?
:21:42
The monkeys were gibbons.
:21:44
How do you remember?
:21:46
It's one of the most beautiful
things I've ever read.
:21:55
No kidding.
:21:57
Look! He's blushing with pride.
