Sorry, I have a rather fixed idea that people are in fact people, no matter what miracles inhabit them.

[ He squints suspiciously through a fractional pause. ]

Being 'used' doesn't sound particular enjoyable.

Why? What happens?

Not ideal, I suppose.

What if it's a nightmare? My dreams are far from pleasant.

[ sounds fake ]

I don't sleep very well. What if I wake too soon? Will it damage the - the thing that's being created?

Humour me, please. I remember too well what you said about the things you created with heartbeats. I don't want to create something that might suffer.

[ He pauses, huffing a suppressed sigh of annoyance - at himself. ]

I don't want a car, you see. I want a horse. But not if - [ another pause; unseen, he balls his hands into a fist, weirdly defiant. ] - not like that. Not if it hurts.

[ A longer pause now, as Rupert processes this information. ]

You'd be in my head, of course.

And I suppose that means you can see everything in my mind, even if it lies beyond the edges of the dream?

And what if there are things I want to keep hidden? Things that I am not inclined to share with anyone else?

How should I know? You're not very knowable, which I'm sure you'll be happy to hear.

Simple gossip isn't a concern of mine. If it was then I wouldn't be the man I am. What lies in my head would be beyond gossip.

So there's no way of hiding them, no way at all? You'd know everything, immediately?

Well.

[ Fuck. ]

Let me think on this. There will come a time when the whole world will know my secrets anyway. The cat will be out of the bag, as they say, and I am quite sure I will be in need of a good dream by then.

How long does this offer stand?

Very well. Leave this with me. I shall be in touch again, I'm sure.
