[in the kitchen, making tea!

the egg is on the table in a basket. a close examination of it will reveal a slight crack in the shell]

[socioapathic]

[is studying the crack]

It should be hatching soon.

[psychosomania]

[...does not drop the tea tin, this time]

It hatches, too?

[socioapathic]

I told you, it behaves exactly as it was programmed to be. And it's an egg.

[psychosomania]

It's also programmed to simulate a baby, and babies don't hatch.

[socioapathic]

Dual functions. It doesn't change the fact that it will be hatching, John.

[psychosomania]

Should we be worried about what will come out of it?

[socioapathic]

I doubt it. Whatever it might be, it'll still be a child.

[psychosomania]

. . . that is not reassuring.

[socioapathic]

I'm sure we'll be fine.

[psychosomania]

We'll find out--

[and the shell just cracked loudly]

[socioapathic]

[peering intently at the shell]

Yes, let's see what you are.

[psychosomania]
