[tape of session 9, Mary speaks in a voice, hauntingly deep with masculinity]
Hello, Doc.
Doctor
Simon?

You know who I am.
Doctor
Billy has told me a lot about you.

Billy is a smart boy.
Doctor
What happened on Christmas night in Lowell?
MH Mary Hobbes
Use your imagination.
Doctor
I'd rather you tell me, Simon.
MH Mary Hobbes
Peter was naughty, Doc.
Doctor
What did Peter do?
MH Mary Hobbes
He shouldn't have done it... Doc.
Doctor
Tell me, Simon.
MH Mary Hobbes
He scared Mary, Doc. He crept up behind her in the dark and he scared her. Mary fell down, Doc. She fell on her doll. It cut her up, Doc. It cut her up real bad. She needed someone to help her. So I... introduced myself. And I told her to cut up Peter, Doc. To cut him up real bad. Good thing his knife was brand new. Real sharp. And then just so her mommy and daddy wouldn't get mad, I told her... to cut them up, too. There was a lot of blood, Doc. So much blood. But Mary wanted to do it, so she did it.
Doctor
Why did you do it, Simon?
MH Mary Hobbes
[voice of Simon]
Because Mary let me, Doc. They always do. They always do. [laughs]

Doctor
And where do you live, Billy?
MH Mary Hobbes
[voice of Billy]
I live in the eyes - you know that.
Doctor
Remind me, though. Why the eyes?
MH Mary Hobbes
[voice of Billy]
Because... I see everything, sir.
Doctor
And where does Simon live, Billy? Where does Simon live?
Doctor
[Silence]
And where do you live, Simon?
MF Mary Forbes

I live in the weak and the wounded... Doc.
