  Adam : Would you like some ice cream?

  Caroline : Big on the ice cream, aren't you? No, thanks. Well, I guess the cookies are a little on the sugary side.

  Adam : Do you like music, Caroline?

  Caroline : Mm-hm. I never heard you say my name before. It sounded nice.

  Adam : Would you like to see my records, Caroline? Caroline?

  Caroline : Sure.

  Caroline : Wow. They look really old.

  Adam : They're magic.

  Caroline : They're not magic! What kind of magic do they do?

  Adam : In the orphanage Mother Camilla used to play them for me. I used to sit in the sunlight near the window in her office, and I'd fall asleep to them. She gave them to me when I left. Whenever my life doesn't agree with me, I lie down and I play these records and... the rain stops falling.

  Adam : Would you like to hear one?

  Caroline : Mm-hm. You must have loved her a lot... Mother Camilla.

  Adam : She... She's the one who told me about my heart.

  Caroline : What about your heart?

  Adam : I was... I was a very sick baby. My heart was very weak. My mother, she died when I was born. She died in the jungle, where she and my father were living.

  Caroline : In the jungle?

  Adam : My father was a great adventurer. One day the great king of the silver baboons came down from his peak high on the mountaintops of Kilimanjaro and caught my father stealing his treasure from a deep, dark cave at the very bottom, where magic rubies trickled down from the top of the mountain. After a terrible battle with the baboon king, my father was wounded and left to die. When the great king later learned that my father needed the enchanted rubies to heal his son with the dying heart, he was so overwhelmed with guilt and shame at what he had done that he took his own beating heart right from his mighty baboon chest and placed it in mine.

  Caroline : Mother Camilla told you all this? You believe her? And you tell this to people? Oh, no. It's a nice story.

  Adam : It's stopped raining.

  Caroline : Magic records and a baboon heart. You almost got me believin' in it.

• Adam : Come on, I wanna show you something.

  Caroline : All right.

  Caroline : What's this?

  Adam : It's OK. This is where I live.

  Caroline : Oh.

  Caroline : Ooh!

  Adam : This is my dog.

  Caroline : Hi. Hi. Good dog. What's her name?

  Adam : I don't know. He never told me.

  Caroline : I don't mean to be rude to you in your own place or anything, but you are a little strange sometimes.

  Adam : Would you like some ice cream?
