“You are not getting the point”
“Really!”
“Yes.”
“Explain again…this time clearly.”
“Very well…but this time listen….clearly.”

“I understand what you are saying….however….could it not be that it is I who is real and you who are the illusion or figment of my imagination and I seem incapable of getting rid of you.”
“Well….ah….yes….I suppose that is possible…and I suppose it is possible that we are both right…however dynamically impossible that may seem.
Subject A stood from his chair while Subject B sat down in his.
Subject B

Subject A

Subjects A and B move to the window.

B frowned. Don’t be cowardly. We must go. We can not just sit in this room arguing which one of us is delusional.”
