| Lily: | Why this focus on pre-birth? |
| Linda: | Maybe the author believed things go full circle: if you understand birth, death becomes clear. |
| Ram: | Birth and death aren't to be understood intellectually – they are markers on a journey beyond understanding . . . |
| Ron: | I dunno. Dis art feels weird – like somedin Oedipal. |
| Lily: | Does it actually matter? To me a sense of freshness and wonder is all that is really important. Content is irrelevant. |
| Lex: | Am I expected to say something profound? |
| Ron: | If we are lucky, probably not. |
