"So, you and your new friend don't get along very well?"
"Not really, no."
"Why do you keep talking to them, then?"
"They talk to me, I don't want them to say nasty things..."
"What kind of nasty things?"
"That I'm nasty or a liar..."
"Are you a liar?"
"I... No."
"Are you sure?"
"I sometimes lie.."
"Are you lying now?"
"No.."
"Then tell me the truth... Is your friend here now?"
"Yeah..."
"Good, what are they doing?"
"They're sitting down, and talking to me."
"Are they being nasty?"
"No."
"Good, now... You do know that they aren't real.. don't you?"
"I know that... I'm nine already."
"That's good- Wait you know they aren't real?"
"Yeah of course!"
"Then- I don't... I don't understand. If you know they aren't real then why do you talk to them?"
"I don't, they talk to me!"
"Can't you just ignore them?"
"I don't want to play this anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to bed now, good night Mr. Bear"
"What are you talking about?"
"You're not real! Go away."
"Wha- I am real! You're just a liar!"
