"I need to get out, baby."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know.  Just...out."

"Well...okay.  So...where d'you want to go?"

"No.  No no.  You don't understand me."

"Okay...?"

"I don't want to go anywhere.  I just want...out.  Does that make sense?"

"No...not really..."

"I just...I don't know.  I guess I need something."

"You need something?  What?"

"I don't know.  Just...something.  Something...different.  Bigger.  Shinier."

"Shinier?"

"Yeah.  This must sound crazy."

"Mmmm..."

"What?"

"What, what?"

"You look funny.  Your eyes are all squished up.  What's wrong?"

"I...just...  It's nothing."

"It's not nothing.  What is it?"

"I..."

"Tell me.  Please?"

"How could you need...how could you want anything else when..."

"When what?"

"When you have...me?"

"...I...I don't know.  I just don't know."
A practice with dialogue.
