LEE
What’s the matter? You don’t believe me?

COT
My friend told me I had to grow out of playing with invisible friends.

LEE
Piffle. The invisible things in life are often
a lot more interesting than the visible ones.
Case in point: an invisible bubble in the forest
that makes people disappear for a year at a time.

COT
You’re just some crazy person in the forest, aren’t you.

LEE
Nonsense. If I were a crazy person, would I do this?

[LEE runs headlong into the Fairy Ring. There is a flash, and she is gone. COT is alone in the forest]

COT
Oh no, not her too.

[COT sits down and weeps quietly]

COT
At least with the crazy girl I had someone to talk to.
