“ Fish, what are you thinking? Is the sea boring? Do you get migraines? Do you have a best friend? Do your scales itch? Do you love your mother? Do you even see your mother? Is the water perfect all the time? Do you sleep? Do you dream of the air? Do you have nightmares about giant squid? Do you get bullied? Can you hide under a rock? Does the dark give you comfort? Do you feel older? Do you get bruised? Do you ever feel out of shape? Are you happy to be alive? Do you ever have a really great day?
People say I’m special. Do other fish say you’re special? So you’re not going to tell me whether or not you’re special? One last chance, just tell me what’s so special about you? Not saying? Okay, sister, you brought this on yourself. I’m heating up the grill.”
