(Lights up. A and B are standing
across from each other
in an empty room.)

A:
I think, therefore I am.

B:
Who said that?

A:
Descartes.

B:
No, I mean who said that. Who's there?

A:
Oh, it's me.

B:
I don't know that.

A:
Don't you?

B:
No.

A:
Do you believe I'm here?

B:
Yes.

A:
So it's true?

B:
I believe it to be true.

A:
Close, but can you justify it?

B:
I hear you.

A:
Can you trust your senses?

B:
I... I don't know.

A:
No?

B:
I can't be sure.

A:
You doubt?

B:
I think...

A:
You think!

B:
Yes.

A:
Yes...

B:
I think... therefore, I am.

A:
Yes.

(Lights out.)
