CLAIRE'S KNEE

SHE
The heroes of a story are always blindfolded
Otherwise they'd attempt nothing. The plot would stall.
But not matter. Actually, everyone wears a blindfold.
Or at least blinders.

HE
Except you, since you write.

SHE
Yes, writing forces me to keep my eyes open.

HE
But you work the bellows.

SHE
No, I follow the characters' impulses. Their own logic drives them on.

HE
But you help.

SHE
No, I never invent. I discover.
