Do we all posses these ridiculous shirts? First of all, I'd like to make it known that I don't wear t-shirts.

[And admittedly, if you could see him right now, he'd look pretty strange with his t-shirt reading "I built an underwater utopia and turned it into a horrible dystopia and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!" under his suit jacket.]

Now let me inquire as to this... you needn't tell me what your t-shirt says, but I'm curious -- are all of your t-shirts true?

[Because he thinks his is a horrid lie, of course.]

Yes.

[After all, I ABANDONED MY FAMILY AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT is incomplete, but generally true.]

I don't think mine is true.

[It is, but he'll never admit it.]

I wonder if some people got truthful ones and others got false ones.

That would certainly make me far more comfortable.

Have you heard from others saying their shirts were false?</font?

It's true.

[And he's very decidedly not going to show Mr. Ryan what's on his own t-shirt.]

[A long-suffering sigh.]

I'm not entirely convinced of that. Mine is inaccurate at best.

No... It's true. [Haven't they had this conversation at least once before?]

[He's never showing anyone his shirt ever.]

So you say. At least it will be over with tomorrow, and we can pretend it never happened.

Maybe... At least until the next time the City forces us to confess to something we'd rather not. [Because he has no doubt this won't be the last time.]

Of course mine's not true!

[ he would never murder his own siblings. or, so he thinks. ]

In that case, perhaps there is some chance that they're falsified.

Some chance?! Half the ones around are probably wrong.

That's a relieving thought, I admit.

Is yours true?

Mine is true, but I think there is an element of subjectivity.

I won't ask what yours says. However, I can certainly agree that there is a great deal of subjectivity.

Thank you.

I do wonder how the City has determined what will be revealed--whether it is what we consider the worst about our lives, what may seem the worst from the perspective of an outsider, or something entirely different.

Mine appears to be what would make me feel the most terrible, if it were at all true.

Then maybe that is the purpose of the curse.

I still think mine is inaccurate.

I suppose zhat is for you to decide.

It doesn't tell the full story. Not even close.

Zhere was limited space.

[She does pick the worst moments for her sense of humor.]
