"How are you?"

"Sequestered."

"English please."

"It is English, dimwit."

"Did you just call me a dimwit?"

"I did."

"I'm offended."

"I'm glad."

"Oh, are you?"

"I am."

"You're quiet."

"Am I? I didn't even recognize."

"Tell me what's wrong, Poppy."

"Nothing."

"By nothing, do you mean everything?"

"Sequestered is a really deep word, have you ever noticed? It's an adjective, I believe. I think it describes you and me."

"You haven't told me what it means."

"It's best that way, don't you think? A little mystery always spiced up a friendship."

"Are you okay?"

"More or less."

"God damn it, Poppy. Stop talking in these riddles, I don't understand!"

"That's the art of life, isn't it? No two people can understand each other, no matter how hard they try."

"Stop shutting me out, I'm your friend - your best friend."

"My old friend."

"I'm still here for you."

"But you aren't."
