So, I'm guessing everyone got one of these.

[By one of these, he means an off-color, withered little heart, just big enough for him to hold between finger and thumb, and he holds it up to the camera for all to see.]

Has anyone figured out exactly what they're supposed to be? Apart from the products of another curse, I assume.

I'll trade you.

I'm not so sure I believe that yours could be any less aesthetically pleasing.

I guess it's sort of pretty, but it's just taking up far too much room.

[Too much room?] How big can it be?

[She pans the camera round to show this.] About that big.

[Oh. Huh.]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that trade.

That's a shame, yours seems much more convenient. But suit yourself.

I'm not so sure that convenient is the word I'd use for it.

Well, what word would you use?

[He has to think about that for a second.]

Unnecessary.

Really? That's kind of sad, in a way. But I guess it means your heart can't hurt you, too.

[He has to pause again, this time inhaling deeply before answering.]

I guess it is.

Well, at least after today you won't have it right there flaunted in front of you, hm? You can carry on trying to be heartless in peace.

[He looks away for a moment before he responds this time.]

Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?

[She looks a little confused.] ...No, I was trying to be sympathetic. I'm sorry.

Did someone give you a bad piece of candy?

Something tells me this thing isn't edible.

Your heart.

[Oh, good. This guy again.]

Funny, I've been told I don't have one.

Well it's not exactly huge, is it?

[Excuse you mister I can't take a joke. Raymond has the self-control to not snap a reply to him, but he does visibly bristle.]

So how big is yours?

Big enough.

Not exactly huge either, I take it.

Bigger than yours.

[Although it's black and ashy.]

If it's really supposed to be your heart, something leads me to doubt that.

Little more than symbolism, from what I've gathered.

well they're not exactly subtle about it

No, I can't really say they are.
