At the university:
[This is an experimental simulation of a conversation with a person.]
[This simulation is still under construction.                       ]
[Please do not be surprised if it misbehaves.                       ]

You enter a classroom.  It is empty, except for a woman is sitting at one of
the student's desks.  There is a parka draped over the back of her chair.  She
speaks to you, "Hi.  Are you looking for the psychology class?" 

You say:  yes.

She says:
I think this is it.  It doesn't start for a while.  I wasn't sure how long it
would take to get here on the bus, so I left early. 

You say:  I thought I'd start off on the right foot and get here early, myself.

She says:
I think this is the room for Psychology 103.  (She consults a dog-eared
university calendar.)  The calendar says the class starts at five.  I expect
everyone else should be arriving any minute.  (As though on cue, someone else
enters the room and sits on the far side.  He opens a book and starts to read.)
Have you taken any psychology classes before? 

You say:  No, have you?

She says:
I've never taken any university courses.  I was curious about the title of this
one.  I don't know either.  Yeah, I was hypnotized once.  We went to this club,
my husband and I, and I went up on stage.  I didn't think it worked, but my
husband, he said that I was singing just like Madonna.  I thought it was creepy
when he said that, so I won't let anyone hypnotise me again. 

You say:  You have a husband?

She says:
I'm not married any more.  Well, I guess I am, but we've been separated for
more than a year.  He lives in the States now. (more people are taking chairs
in the room) 

You say:  You're very beautiful.  Would you like to have dinner sometime?

She says:
(She blushes and giggles a little.)  You're trying to charm me. 

You say:  Yes.

She says:
(She laughes.)  I never know how to reply to empty, insincere flattery.  (She
consults the university calendar.)  I don't think you need to take a course in
the control of human behaviour. 

You say:  No, I'm serious.  I'm in love with you.

She says:
(She smiles.)  Yeah, sure.  (She pauses, then continues to speak.)  Have you
taken any psychology classes before? 

You say:  Yes. I took one on abnormal psychology.  

She says:
Then maybe you can tell me what I should expect.  I thought the title of this
course was pretty strange.  What do you think "the control of human behaviour"
really means? 

You say:  It teaches you self-restraint and how to keep your human desires in check.  I'm a nyphomaniac.  That's why I'm here.

She says:
You had not noticed that the room had filled with students while you were
talking to the woman.  A voice from the front of the class says, "Welcome to
Psychology 103..." The woman whispers to you, "Talk to you later," and turns in
her seat to face the front of the class.  You say, "Okay." and turn to listen
to the professor as well.
