Talky-box? [ It takes her a few moments to realise she's talking about the communicator. ]

... Oh, that thing is a real bully.. You should watch out for it.

Uh-huh! It's really mean sometimes... But I think it just gets lonely and wants people to play with it.

Just gets lonely, huh..

It's okay. People say worse things about it but it doesn't get mad. You just have to remember to play with it.

In that case.. I'll make sure to play with it lots and lots so it won't have to be lonely.
