〃Why shouldnt we make it?〃 Harry said。

〃Jerry might do something first;〃 Beth said。 Norman felt a burst of irritation with her。 Didnt she realize that by saying that; she was planting the idea in Harrys mind?

〃We cant survive another attack on the habitat;〃 Beth said。

Norman thought; Shut up; Beth。 Youre making suggestions。

〃An attack on the habitat?〃 Harry said。

Quickly; Norman said; 〃Harry; I think you and I should talk to Jerry again。〃

〃Really? Why?〃

〃I want to see if I can reason with him。〃

〃I dont know if you can;〃 Harry said。 〃Reason with him。〃

〃Lets try anyway;〃 Norman said; with a glance at Beth。 〃Its worth a try。〃

Norman knew he would not really be talking to Jerry。 He would be talking to a part of Harry。 An unconscious part; a shadow part。 How should he go about it? What could he use?

He sat in front of the monitor screen; thinking; What do I know about Harry; really? Harry; who had grown up in Philadelphia as a thin; introverted; painfully shy boy; a mathematical prodigy; his gifts denigrated by his friends and family。 Harry had said once that when he cared about mathematics; everybody else cared about slamdunking。 Even now; Harry hated all games; all sports。 As a young man he had been humiliated and neglected; and when he finally got proper recognition for his gifts; Norman suspected; it came too late。 The damage was already done。 Certainly it came too late to prevent the arrogant; braggart exterior。

''279'' I AM HERE。 DO NOT BE AFRAID。

〃Jerry。〃

YES NORMAN。

〃I have a request to make。〃

YOU MAY DO SO。

〃Jerry; many of our entities are gone; and our habitat is weakened。〃

I KNOW THIS。 MAKE YOUR REQUEST。

〃Would you please stop manifesting?〃

NO。

〃Why not?〃

I DO NOT WISH TO STOP。

Well; Norman thought; at least we got right down to it。 No wasting time。 〃Jerry; I know that you have been isolated for a long time; for many centuries; and that you have felt alone during all that time。 You have felt that nobody cared about you。 You have felt that nobody wanted to play with you; or shared your interests。〃

YES THIS IS TRUE。

〃And now at last you can manifest; and you are enjoying this。 You like to show us what you can do; to impress us。〃

THIS IS TRUE。

〃So that we will pay attention to you。〃

YES。 I LIKE IT。

〃And it works。 We do pay attention to you。〃

YES I KNOW IT。

〃But these manifestations injure us; Jerry。〃

I DO NOT CARE。

〃And they surprise us; too。〃

I AM GLAD。

〃Were surprised; Jerry; because you are merely playing a game with us。〃

I DO NOT LIKE GAMES。 I DO NOT PLAY GAMES。

〃Yes。 This is a game for you; Jerry。 It is a sport。〃

NO; IT IS NOT。
