What's going on?
I'm not sure. Um… They wanna ask you a question... I didn't know how to handle it. So....
Sure. [to the others] How you doin'? You wanted to ask me something?
How'd you know about the fire?
What?
How'd you know how to put it out and all?
Oh. Well — where I used to live, that's just what firemen did.
And where's that?
Um... Outside of Pleasantville.
Well, what's outside of Pleasantville?

What's outside of Pleasantville?
It's really not important.

Keeps going?
Yeah, yeah — it just keeps going — it all keeps going. Roads and rivers and …

I thought the books were blank?
They were.
Okay, this was NOT my fault. When they asked me what it was about I didn't remember because I read it like back in tenth grade. When I told them what I did remember, thats when the pages filled in.
The pages filled in?
But like only up to the part with the raft, because that's as far as I read.
Do you know how it ends?
Yeah… I do.
So how does it end?
Well, um — okay, let's see…. they were running away — Huck and — and the slave.... they … they were going up the river, trying to get free…. and — in trying to get free … they see that they're sort of free already…. [The pages fill in by themselves, completing the book] Oh my God.
