FIRST FAIRY

What else is outside ? SECOND FAIRY

I don't know.

Nobody knows. FIRST FAIRY

Who's nobody ? SECOND FAIRY

We all are.

Forgotten. FIRST FAIRY

And that is all we know ? SECOND FAIRY

Yes, except that this is where they all come in. FIRST FAIRY

And they're so sort of asleep when they come in ? SECOND FAIRY

Yes, and they act funny and say funny things until the gate closes behind them. FIRST FAIRY

When do they come ? SECOND FAIRY

Oh, any time.

You can never tell. FIRST FAIRY

Let's stay and ask the next one that comes in. SECOND FAIRY

It's no use. They never remember, after their eyes open, what they said or anything about it. FIRST FAIRY

Can you remember anything ?
