CAROL:

You didn't say it would be like this.

WIZARD:

You didn't ask.

WIZARD:

OK, what have you learned about drugs?

CAROL:

That we each take them ourselves, I guess.

WIZARD:

Exactly. So much for the facts, but how
does this affect us and why did each of you
take a drug when you reached the cave?

JIM:

'Cause you scared the crap out of us,
that's why.

WIZARD:

Are you scared now? You're still all
using drugs.

CAROL:

Well, no. We were bored. There's nothing
to do here.

WIZARD:

I see. At first you took drugs because
you were under pressure. Jim who is the
most aggressive took pot. Bruce used alcohol
which is just as powerful but more socially
acceptable and Carol had a cigarette which
is the most acceptable of all, and
probably the most dangerous.

JIM:

Well, so what? Man, if we'd have slipped
coming up that rock wall it would have been
greaseville for all of us.
