Of course I have tried talking with it, Stan.

[You think she would fall into despair without giving it a shot?]

The first couple of years, I tried to talk to it through the dead campers. I even tried to talk to it through Dan. But it always kept up the same act. I think it's toying with me, honestly.

I didn't say talk to it, Red. I said get rid of it.

[Please Red, this is Stan you're talking to. He punches first, and never asks questions.]

Stan, the Foundation won't let us just git rid of it. We have to convince them that the stone is so dangerous that the only choice we have is to destroy it.

[stanboozled]

Then just do that. I mean, it can't be that hard - this thing eats a bunch of kids every summer!

Some of the people think that's a benefit.

[Yeah. That's who they're dealing with here.]

[stanboozled]

[He groans.]

C'mon red, there's gotta be something! Ain't there anyone you can talk to about this?
