8 quotesIdentifying Objects and Bridging Gaps
Researcher 1
Okay, we're going to ask you some questions. We'd like for you to identify the picture. What is this?

Duck.
[annoyed]
Researcher 1
What is this?
[shows more cards]
Adolescent Paulie
Kite. Umbrella. Look, I don't see how this is "bridging the gap".
Dr. Reingold
Uh... Well, look, Paulie, I know this is frustrating, but we have to follow a protocol, if we're gonna prove you're capable of cognizant speech.
Adolescent Paulie
Everyone can see that I can talk!
Researcher 1
What is this?
[shows another card with a pie on it]
Adolescent Paulie
Now, what is that word again for, uh, a dish composed of meat, fowl, fish or vegetables, covered in a layer of paste and baked...? Oh, yeah! It's a pie! Then again, a "pie" could be a magpie, a collection of rules, a copper coin, or what you call a fine lookin lady. And if you don't believe me, look it up, blondie. But "pie" can also mean a whole, as in the pie of which we crave a piece, like the whole enchilada, the big salami, the grand prize - the talking bird which you hope will make you rich! That kind of pie! Me! I'm the pie here, and if you don't mind taking your fingers out of me for a moment, I'd like to get some lunch, you lab rat!

Misha
Did you said that?!
[laughing]
Adult Paulie
I told you, talking just gets you into trouble!
Misha
No, it's not that. I-It's how you say things. You'll have to be careful. A woman would ask you, "Do you like my new hat?" You would say, "No. New hat make you look like new floor mop." You get punched in the nose.
Adult Paulie
I got worse than that.
