Wan-Sze: (gazing at the image) What is this?

Nadia:   I dunno. Sum ding weird, huh?

Will:    Who knows? What people call "queer" is usually just unexamined.

Nadia:   (Playfully speaking like a child) Uh huh. Buddu I'm too busy 'n ta examine – 
         can we play a compu-game instead?

Will:    Sure – go on. Most people are unwilling ta read poetry, even though that's what they need.

Kasim:   No problem. Isn't life itself like a computer game?

Will:    Yeah, in many ways (sipping a cup of coffee) … and eventually all games end.
