Charlie, I just want you to come to my office for a moment.

You remember these cards, don't you, Charlie?

I didn't understand them then, and I don't understand them now.

People see all kinds of things in these ink blocks.

You mean there's not hidden pictures?  In the black paint.

That's what you said the first time, that there was hidden pictures.

You made me feel stupid because I couldn't see them.

You said there was pictures that everybody could see.

You're just like everybody else, laughing and making fun of me.

Before, I didn't know better, but now I do, and I don't like it.

Look, Charlie, I know I never told you there were hidden pictures in there.

I make recordings of all my sessions with you.

I probably used the exact words then that I use today.

I mean, tell me what it makes you think of.

It makes me think of someone spilled some black paint.

You know what it's like hearing your old self talk back to you?

It's like hearing someone that you thought was dead, or worse, someone that you never knew existed.

See, the trouble with me is I was never normal, and it's all I ever wanted to be.

Now I'll just be the dumb guy that they made smart.

Even if it's normal smart, I'll still be different.

Or to become what you always wanted to be and feel like you're alone.

You're learning faster than we ever thought.

It's impossible to keep your nose buried in a book.

You know, we were always told that silence is...

Life is restful, but I think it's just the opposite.

When I was little, I used to lie in bed and listen to the sounds of my neighborhood.

The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.

I mean, I couldn't remember it just like that.

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears.

That if I then had waked after long sleep will make me sleep again.

And then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop upon me.

That when I waked, I cried to dream again.
