You, My Dear, Cannot POSSIBLY Exist, So Go Away!









[Black void]
(Tegan comes across a metal structure, then two people sitting at a small round table playing a game similar to draughts. They glow white. The woman is dressed in Tudor style, with a big ruff framing her head. The man's ruff is very small around his neck.) 

TEGAN: 
Hello.

(The woman replies.) 

ANATTA: 
You, my dear, 
cannot possibly exist, 
so go away.



TEGAN: 
Look, hello. 

ANATTA: 
Did You see...? 

ANICCA: 
...why, did You? 

ANATTA: 
I asked first. 

ANICCA: 
So You did see!

ANATTA: 
...it proves nothing. 
Just because an illusion 
is shared doesn't mean --

ANICCA: 
-- of course not. 

ANATTA:
 Besides, How Do I Know 
That What You Think You See --

ANICCA: 
-- is What You Think You see? 

ANATTA: 
Or vice --

(As they both move pieces on their game board, we see they have the image of a snake on their forearms.) 

ANICCA: 
--versa. 

ANATTA: 
Exactly. 

(A younger man appears behind Tegan, laughs, and vanishes. 
The two figures recede into the distance.) 

ANICCA: 
...I can only conclude it is you 
who have invented her 
as a means of putting me 
off My Game.....
