Woman: Oh, I see. I see. (Urgently) Listen! It's happening again! (The man continues to hammer) Listen! Seriously! Can you just listen to me once? Just once! (She pulls him along, and he has no choice but to listen.) Man: You're being paranoid! What sound? If there were a sound, I would definitely hear it; if I don't hear anything, then it proves there is no sound at all. Woman: Not necessarily. Just because you don't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Man: Am I deaf? Woman: You aren't deaf, but you only hear the sounds you are willing to hear. Man: Go ahead. Woman: You only hear the sounds you can understand. Man: Precisely. Why listen to something you don't understand? Woman: Because it is coming. You won't be able to avoid it, even if you don't understand it. Man: Stop acting crazy. I need to get to work. (Hammering, then he looks up at the audience) I am a realist. The fundamental principle of a realist is to never concern oneself with things that aren't worth worrying about. Sounds? What do sounds have to do with me?! It's not as if it's our manager's voice! I am a realist. In a realist world, only realists can survive.
