Ask away, Dearie!

Hardly, dearie. But perhaps you should be. That one doesn't like many people knowing of its activities. Might not want to draw attention to yourself.

I was once and, should I be granted the the opportunity, I shall be again.

You speak as though they've retained the right to comment on any aspect of my life.

Each has the discipline to manage a considerable amount of power. I'm not sure that such control is admirable, but I will confess it's impressive.

Knowledge is power, dearie. What do you think?

The real question, dearie, is, 'How is it that you have?'

What makes you think it doesn't, dearie?

Careful, Dearie. You're treading on very thin ice with your mockery. Might be dangerous if it gave way...

Been binge-watching Sesame Street, have we, dearie? My life is hardly brought to me by letters or numbers.

Did it ever occur to you that a person might be taking their life into their hands inquiring about matters that don't concern them?

Of course. Different ones at different times.

Nobody here at the moment, dearie.

If I didn't, then I wouldn't have invested so much effort in bottling the stuff, now would I, Dearie?

IF?

To answer that question, dearie, I'd need to know them rather better than I do.

Well, dearie, that depends on whether she leaves town before the opportunity presents itself.
