〃Who will be making the report; sir?〃

〃I dont know。 Lets not worry about reports now。 Lets just concentrate on getting through this。〃

〃Yes; sir。〃

As he approached Beths lab; he heard Tinas recorded voice say; 〃Do you think theyll ever get the sphere open?〃

Beth said; 〃Maybe。 I dont know。〃 〃It scares me。〃

And then Tinas voice came again:

〃Do you think theyll ever get the sphere open?〃

〃Maybe。 I dont know。〃

〃It scares me。〃

In the lab; Beth was hunched over the console; watching the tape。

〃Still at it; huh?〃 Norman said。

〃Yeah。〃

On the tape; Beth was finishing her cake; saying; 〃I dont think theres a reason to be scared。〃

〃Its the unknown;〃 Tina said。

〃Sure;〃 Beth said onscreen; 〃but an unknown thing is not likely to be dangerous or frightening。 Its most likely to be just inexplicable。〃

〃Famous last words;〃 Beth said; watching herself。

〃It sounded good at the time;〃 Norman said。 〃To keep her calmed down。〃

Onscreen; Beth said to Tina; 〃You afraid of snakes?〃

〃Snakes dont bother me;〃 Tina said。

〃Well; I cant stand snakes;〃 Beth said。

Beth stopped the tape; turned to Norman。 〃Seems like a long time ago; doesnt it。〃

〃I was just thinking that;〃 Norman said。

〃Does this mean were living life to the fullest?〃

〃I think it means were in mortal peril;〃 Norman said。 〃Why are you so interested in this tape?〃

〃Because I have nothing better to do; and if I dont keep ''217'' busy Im going to start screaming and make one of those traditional feminine scenes。 Youve already seen me do it once; Norman。〃

〃Have I? I dont remember any scene。〃

〃Thank you;〃 she said。

Norman noticed a blanket on a couch in the corner of her lab。 And Beth had unclipped one of the workbench lamps and mounted it on the wall above the blankets。 〃You sleeping here now?〃

〃Yeah; I like it here。 Up at the top of the cylinder…I feel like the queen of the underworld。〃 She smiled。 〃Sort of like a tree house when you were a kid。 Did you ever have a tree house when you were a kid?〃

〃No;〃 Norman said; 〃I never did。〃

〃Neither did I;〃 Beth said。 〃But its what I imagine it would be; if I had。〃

〃Looks very cozy; Beth。〃
