“You don’t think it’s boring talking to people?” “Of course not. You can’t get bored if you’re talking all the time.” “That’s funny. The more I talk to people, the more bored I get.” “You’re bored because you don’t talk to people.” “You’re crazy. I get bored talking to people, so I don’t talk.” “You ought to give it a try. Talk to people. You won’t be bored anymore.” “Talk about what?” “Anything you want.” “I don’t want to talk about anything.”
