BOOK WOW

Holden:
You're in a desert, walking along in
the sand when all of a sudden you
look down...

Leon:
What one?

Holden:
What?

Leon:
What desert?

Holden:
It doesn't make any dicerence what
desert, it's completely hypothetical.

Leon:
But, how come I'd be there?

Holden:
Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you
want to be by yourself. Who knows?
You look down and see a tortoise,
Leon. It's crawling toward you...

Leon:
Tortoise? What's that?

Holden:
You know what a turtle is?

Leon:
Of course!

Holden:
Same thing.

Leon:
I've never seen a turtle. (pause) But I
understand what you mean.

Holden:
You reach down and you eip the
tortoise over on its back, Leon.

Leon:
Do you make up these questions, Mr.
Holden? Or do they write 'em down
for you?

Holden:
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly
baking in the hot sun, beating its
legs trying to turn itself over but it
can't. Not without your help. But
you're not helping.

Leon:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT
HELPING?

Holden:
I mean you're not helping! Why is
that, Leon?

Holden:
They're just questions, Leon. In
answer to your query they're written
down for me. It's a test, designed to
provoke an emotional response.
(pause) Shall we continue?
