DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Not to sound depressed or anything, but I don't see the point in socializing like this. Or at all.

NEUTRAL NELLY: I just thought we'd meet and try to work out our differences while having dinner together. We're family after all, and proper meals and exercise is what keeps one in balance.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Wow, you're a living cliché!

NEUTRAL NELLY: You're a never ending teenage riot.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Adults loose touch with their believes, like you.

NEUTRAL NELLY: You really see me as an adult?

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Yeah... What, you don't?

NEUTRAL NELLY: Sometimes. Mostly not.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: That's weird.

NEUTRAL NELLY: I guess. Anyway, you need some food. You're a lot thinner than I remember.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Eating is kind of a way to tell life that you're on it's side. I'm not sure I'm okay with that.

MANIC MARIA: I don't need much food. I'm more just a mind than a mind + body creature. I'm a spirit similar to a god.

NEUTRAL NELLY: Sure you are honey, sure you are. So do you want something?

MANIC MARIA: Nah, I ate just a minute ago yesterday

NEUTRAL NELLY: See, this is a part of the problem. I don't feel like you two ever appreciate all the work I'm doing. It's like I'm being punished when I seem to be doing everything by the book.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: There's no "book". You don't have to do anything. Actually, I'd prefer it if you didn't so you wouldn't expect me to do something in return.

MANIC MARIA: I can do anything you want me to. Fixing electrical problems, building a house, write your biography...

NEUTRAL NELLY: That's not the kind of things I was talking about.

MANIC MARIA: You have to learn to speak more clearly and say what you mean. I can teach you that, listen to this: "I think you're a bit less intelligent and lack all kinds of imagination." That's how communication is done!

NEUTRAL NELLY: I might not be as energetic and productive as you, but that does not mean you're better than me!

MANIC MARIA: It kind of does! - See, again! I said what I was thinking. It's great!

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: You're quite boring. If that's what she means.

MANIC MARIA: That too - boring! Excellent, we're brainstorming.

NEUTRAL NELLY: Like you're not boring!

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: I might be, but I'm not pathetic enough to care that much about what other people think about me.

NEUTRAL NELLY: So if I told you you make your life so empty it boarders on being pointless you wouldn't care?

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: I take that as a compliment! The big difference between you and me is you never use your brain, you don't dare to go deeper into the meaning behind things.

NEUTRAL NELLY: You only use your brain to destroy yourself.

MANIC MARIA: I use mine to save everyone!

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: You don't understand my philosophies because you're an ignorant mainstreamer.

MANIC MARIA: Main stream... I've always wanted to flow on the Amazon river in a hollow tree.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: What is it you think you're doing when you're doing all this work that would benefit all of us?

NEUTRAL NELLY: We all want to feel all right. I'm the only one trying to make sure we get there and stay there. Keep a good routine, meet people more often, eat and sleep well. Right now my medication seems to be working, and I want it to stay that way.

MANIC MARIA: I don't need medication, I'm high on life.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Oh, give me a break!

NEUTRAL NELLY: Your world-views are both twisted, that's what I'm saying. I wish you would believe me when I say that my state of mind is the healthy one. All you have to do is stop harassing me for no reason. I could do all the work on my own if you just didn't disturb me all the time.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Phh.. naive much? You might want to pretend you're like everybody else, but we make you different and we're here to stay.

MANIC MARIA: We're odd and proud, yohoo! This illness is a gift when you think of it. You have experienced so many things that most people never do, and you have me to thank for that!

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Just stop the fucking normal girl act and let us come and go like we're supposed to. This is your life, and I'm sorry, you just have to hate it and move on.

NEUTRAL NELLY: Lalalalalala.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: ... Is she covering her ears? Really, you're gonna be like that? What a child.

MANIC MARIA: Everyone is a child, while also old and wise. We're everything and everyone.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: ... I don't even know how to answer that.

NEUTRAL NELLY: Okay then, lets call it a day! Leave me alone now, please. I'm the one living here, it's my name on the door.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: You have any beer I could take with me? I'd like some alcohol in my system before I go to sleep for the rest of the week.

NEUTRAL NELLY: Drinking combined with your medication is not a good idea.

DEPRESSED DEBBIE: Health freak!... All right, I'm going. I might call you later, perhaps, I don't know, don't count on it.

NEUTRAL NELLY: You don't have to, it's okay.

MANIC MARIA: So, we're off? Terrific!

NEUTRAL NELLY: Byyye theeen!

MANIC MARIA: Yeah, right, right. We might see each other more during this winter... summer. Must get home now. I have my theory to explain the existence of the universe to work on.
