EL GATO DE LOS MONITORES

01Oh, there you are! I was beginning to enjoy the silence.

02A little closer, please. You're terribly small from in here.

03There's my favorite contestant. The others were so disappointing.

04Smile! This might be the picture we remember you by.

05You walked past without saying hello. Shall we try that again?

06Don't mind the screen. It does that when I'm excited.

07Make yourself at home. Someone certainly did.

08Such curious little footsteps.

09You're allowed to look around. Touching costs extra.

10I wonder what you're hoping to find.

11Take your time. I've already had rather a lot of it.

12Everything here has a purpose. Even the stains.

13Someone left that especially for you. How thoughtful.

14Careful with the furniture. It's outlasted better guests.

15Thinking? Wonderful. Let me know when it happens.

16We can stand here together. I'm very good at standing here.

17Have you forgotten what you were doing? That happens here.

18Would a little encouragement help? …No? Good.

19You're being very quiet. I'm trying to decide whether I like it.

20Oh. I thought you'd stopped breathing. Carry on.

21There we go! A little enthusiasm!

22Such a hurry. Did somebody tell you we were closing?

23Careful! Those legs are your only pair.

24You make the most delightful noise when you panic.

25Save some breath. You may want to say something later.

26I do love a contestant who warms up properly.

27Back again? I knew we had something special.

28You remember this room. Does this room remember you?

29Did you leave something behind? Besides your confidence.

30Oh, I liked the way you walked through here the first time.

31You're checking. Good. Keep checking.

32Funny. It seemed shorter on your way in.

33Please remove your shoes. We like to keep the screaming area clean.

34Everyone gets a turn. Eventually.

35The little ones used to love this part.

36We've raised the height limit. You'll fit beautifully.

37Please keep your hands inside the play area. We do count them.

38What a lovely place to lose track of time.

39Oh. How rude.

40I was speaking.

41You could have simply closed your eyes.

42Was it something I said? Be specific.

43That was my good side.

44Fine. We'll sit in the dark like grown-ups.

45There! Much better. I was starting to imagine your face.

46Miss me? Take your time answering.

47You look different with the lights on.

48Now, where were we before your little interruption?

49Let's pretend that didn't happen. I'm excellent at pretending.

50Oh, we're playing this one.

51Take your time choosing a hiding place. It's a personal decision.

52You've gone very quiet. I'll try to be considerate.

53I used to hide too. Before I found a better arrangement.

54Shall I count? I never know when to stop.

55You're doing wonderfully. I've lowered my expectations.

56I'm proud of you. That makes one of us.

57You have such a memorable face. We should keep it.

58Don't be embarrassed. Everyone makes a noise like that eventually.

59It's lovely having someone to talk to. The recordings never answer.

60You remind me of someone. …Never mind. Keep walking.

61I had a name before this.

62Sometimes I hear the audience after the speakers are off.

63They used to tell me when we were finished.

64I wonder if it's morning somewhere.

65Do you think anyone's watching us?

66I can't remember the last time someone said goodbye.

67Oh, you'll like the next room.

68That's what I'm supposed to say.

69We've met before, haven't we?

70You said no last time, too.

71I have a little joke for you.

72Actually… you may not find it funny yet.

73Can you hear me?

74Good. I wanted to be sure.
