-> ''"You know, every once in a while, that terror comes back to me. I wonder whether I really have escaped from that hell. What if I actually lost my mind a long time ago... and I'm still in there... just seeing a delusion of us all chatting happily like this? That nightmare still terrifies me. And so, I need to constantly feel... truly feel that this isn't a dream. Hey, are you guys... really... real...? You aren't just a insane delusion I'm having inside that hell... right? Right? ... Right...?"''

->You know, [[CompanionCube red]], you're a great listener. But I never hear you talk about yourself. Come on, don't be shy, there's [[TrappedInAnotherWorld no one else around]], right? Hahaha, right? [[LaughingMad Hahaha... hahahahaha...]]
->"[[ShoutOut I'm sorry, Robert]], [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey I'm afraid I can't do that]]." Hahaha, red, you're hilarious.
