[...she tilts her head.]

It wasn't curiosity. I won't call. I did not grow up in the city. I do not have a sister. There are no wild dogs running loose. I was not evicted. It wasn't real. I didn't design it. I've never met him. I didn't tell anyone. Of course you looked tacky.

[She glances off idly, playing with her nails.]

It isn't in the mail. I did see who slashed your tires. No, I wouldn't have tried to stop them. I did steal it. I don't know where the storehouse is. Yes, it irritates me.

[She looks up then, and finishes flatly,]

No, that isn't my name.

Hazard of life. Doesn't mean you gotta go out of your way to be doin' it, though.

And your long list makes it look like that ain't how you think it goes.

[She laughs.]

The average individual is far too stupid to appreciate or differentiate the truth, so it really doesn't matter overmuch whether it's given to them, or not.
