How will you rescue my friend?

LEE
I don’t know. I’ll probably just ask them.

COT
Ask who?

LEE
Ask the pixies! They’re the ones who have him,
it’s up to them to let him go.

COT
How are you going to do that?

LEE
It won’t be hard. I have business with them anyway.

COT
You do? Wh-what do you mean?

LEE
Do you want to come with me and see?

COT
Come with you? With you where?

LEE
Into the circle!

COT
But you said it’s dangerous to go into the circle!

LEE
I said it’s dangerous to go in unprepared.
But I have an invisible friend in there making preparations as we speak.

[COT’s face falls]

COT
Oh. N-none of this is real, is it?
