T: Stupid? Why do you think you're stupid?

A: Because I am!

T: Well, I don't think you're stupid...listen, I've got some basic questions that I want you to answer so I can get to know you better, so I thought we should begin with that...

A: ...fine...

T: Alright. If you don't want to answer a question, just let me know. So...let's see...I guess most boys your age tend to drown out external noise by playing their own tunes, huh? Do you listen to music?

A: Sometimes.

T: What kind of music?

A: ...industrial, rock...metal...think Nine Inch Nails or something.

T: Nine Inch Nails? Can't say I've heard of them. Are they any good?

A: I guess.

T: You don't really like to talk much, do you...

A: ...

T: ...anyway. What do you like to do in your free time? Do you play video games? Watch movies, maybe?

A: I do both. I like violent games and films.

T: Why do you like them?

A: Violence is nice to look at.

T: I see...

A: ...is that bad?

T: Not at all. I've worked with children -- and people your age -- with similar answers.

A: I already know that!
