Catherine Whitset: [Stedman is sitting alone in a darkened television studio as Catherine Whitset enters and indicates the broadcasting equipment] It's very complicated, isn't it?
Alex Stedman: It has to be.
Catherine Whitset: Why?
Alex Stedman: It saves people from having to think about what they're really doing. They have to concentrate on how to do it.
Catherine Whitset: That's therapy. It doesn't really help.
Alex Stedman: Therapy.
[pause]
Alex Stedman: Are you looking for anyone? I believe they've all gone home.
Catherine Whitset: You haven't.
Alex Stedman: How did you get in?
Catherine Whitset: I lied to the guard.
Alex Stedman: Why?
Catherine Whitset: I'm obsessive. I lie to guards.
Alex Stedman: That's not very serious.
Catherine Whitset: [Walking up to look through one of the video cameras] I love TV. Even when it's terrible.
[Walks over to Stedman]
Catherine Whitset: I think I'm going blind from watching TV. Do you see? Look closely.
[Pulls down her eyelid]
Catherine Whitset: See the deterioration? I'm a victim of the electronic age.
Alex Stedman: [Ruefully] Me too.
