Then h-have I been speaking to myself all this time without noticing that you were listening to me? H-how terribly rude of me- I'm sorry, I'm very sorry! I, I'm not sure what's going on here or who I'm speaking to, but- ...oh, um... m-maybe, you do not understand what I'm saying- i-is that it?

A-at the beginning I-I was trying to understand this device, a-and I realized I was talking with you and you were hearing me and then I understood that you might not know what I'm saying and- [ DEEP BREATH. ]

[ sniff ] A-and this place doesn't look anything like my house.. o-or any other place I've once been too... not at all... i-it's so dark. A-and e-empty and sad and lonely and...a-and... [ hic. sniff. someone is about to burst into tears. ]
... I-if you can help me get home I would be very grateful! I-I would be forever grateful! No, en- et- ah, what is the word-? Eternally? Yes! Eternally grateful! And I promise that I-I will pay you back! W-when... w-when I can...
