 [Action - All around town]

[A certain catboy is up to his usual routine, walking--or teleporting--around looking for mischief.

What one is likely to notice, though, is that today Schrodinger is wearing a Hitler Youth uniform. If people didn't know he was a Nazi before, it should be obvious now.

He's likely to approach anyone he sees and give them a friendly greeting.]

It has come to my attention that many of you seem to have great difficulty understanding the Schrodinger's cat thought experiment. I'm almost starting to get bored of explaining it! [Except not really, because he's found that the results of trying to explain it to people in Mayfield are often hilarious.]

So, let me ask...how many of you are already familiar with it?

Not opening the box is the point.

[thebeastwithout]

But that's pointless. All it proves is that you're too lazy to open a box and check if it's dead or not, not that it's neither.

[selfobservation]

No, no, no.

It's not neither.

It's both.

[thebeastwithout]

You said neither first! C'mon, you don't even know what the point is.

[selfobservation]

[He doesn't respond at first, just laughs.]

Well, I see you were paying attention!

[thebeastwithout]

Sure, whatever. It doesn't even mean anything, does it?

[selfobservation]

Sure it does. To physicists.

And to me.

[thebeastwithout]

So what does it mean to you?

[selfobservation]

My name is Schrodinger. I am Schrodinger's cat.

[thebeastwithout]

...

I don't get it.

[selfobservation]

Somehow, I didn't think you would.

[thebeastwithout]

Anyway, you're obviously alive so the experiment's still dumb.

[selfobservation]

I am alive as long as I believe I am.

[thebeastwithout]

But you believe you're not dead or alive. Or both.

[selfobservation]

That experiment is the basis of my existence.

I am not the experiment itself.

[thebeastwithout]

...

Man, why are we even talking about this? Do you play games? Do you like playing games, dude? I don't care if you're a cat; you've just gotta have thumbs.

[selfobservation]

[Snort.]

Hmmm, you could say I like games!

[thebeastwithout]

OK, we're talkin' about Mega Monkeys 4 now. No poison or cats, 'k?
