Johnny:
I'm Johnny... What's your name?

River:
...You're at my spot.

Johnny:
Your spot?

Johnny:
Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hog this place all to myself!
Um, you wanna join me?

River:
... Are you here to watch the stars?

Johnny:
Are you?
Just look at em.
Did you know there were so many lights in the sky?

River:
Yes.

Johnny:
Oh... Uh, I did too.
You said this was your spot, right?

River:
Only during the carnival.

Johnny:
Not a fan of the crowds?
...Me neither.
Y'know, you still haven't told me your name yet.

River:
I'm not telling you.
...Everyone makes fun of it in school.

Johnny:
Why?

River:
They say it makes them want to go to the washroom.

Johnny:
Uh...Okay, then.
Well, it can't be worse than 'John'.
I mean, everywhere in the world, nearly everyone's named John!.

River:
Even in India?

Johnny:
Probably!

River:
...What's wrong with that?

Johnny:
Hmm?

River:
What's wrong with having a name that everyone has?

Johnny:
Well... It's boring, I guess?
I mean, if everyone has it, then what's the point?

River:
I wouldn't mind.
Just for once... to have the same name everyone else has.
It's like those lights in the sky...
...They all look the same from here, but that doesn't make them any less pretty.

Johnny:
Eh, I suppose...
What do you think those stars up there are anyways?

River:
My dad said they're giant burning spheres of gas.

Johnny:
Oh, I bet he's just making it up.

River:
Why would he lie to me?

Johnny:
Because, y'know, that's what grown-ups do. They make things up.
Santa, Easter Bunny, kangaroos... stuff like that.

River:
Have you... ever made an Easter Bunny out of stars?

Johnny:
Like a constellation?

River:
Yes.

Johnny:
Um, of other things...
Never tried a rabbit though.

River:
...Do you want to make one?

Johnny:
Yeah. we'll make the bestest constellation ever!
Let's see who makes one out first!
Okay, we'll start in three.
Three, two, one. annnd sta---

River:
I see it.

Johnny:
Er.. Where?

River:
In the sky.

Johnny:
Um, but where in the sky?

River:
Think big.

Johnny:
Eh...

River:
Bigger than all the others.

Johnny:
...I don't know.
Wait a minute... Wait a minute!!
...I SEE IT!

River:
Tell me what you see.

Johnny:
There, right??
There're the two ears and head!

River:
What else?

Johnny:
And there... There're its two feet!

River:
Yes. What else?

Johnny:
And... And the moon!
The moon is its big round belly!!
So... what do you think they really are?
The stars, I mean.

River:
I...
I've never told anyone, but...
...I've always thought they are lighthouses.
Billions of lighthouses...
...stuck at the far end of the sky.

Johnny:
Wow, it must be so lively up there.

River:
But it isn't
They can see all the other lighthouses out there, and they want to talk to them.
But they can't, because they're all too far apart to hear what the others are saying.
All they can do... is shine their lights from afar.
...So that's what they do.
They shine their lights at the other lighthouses, and at me.

Johnny:
Why you?

River:
Because one day...
...I'm going to befriend one of them.
That bag... what's in it?

Johnny:
Oh, it's the prize I won from whac-a-mole!
Did you get to play that game?

River:
I tried... but I'm too clumsy.
What did you get from it?

Johnny:
I got a...thing.
I don't really know what it is.
It's some kind of a weird duck... beaver thing.

River:
...May I see it?
It looks so strange...
I wish I could win one myself.

JOHNNY??!

Johnny:
Eek, that's ma calling!

River:
...Here.

Johnny:
You know what... keep it, it's yours.

River:
Mine?

Johnny:
Yeah, I can always get another.
I don't like to brag, but I'm totally the best at that game!

River:
Will you be here next year?

Johnny:
Yup. Will you?

River:
Yes.

Johnny:
Same place, same time?

River:
Yes.
What if you forget... or get lost?

Johnny:
Then we can always regroup on the moon, silly!
...Right on the rabbit's tummy!

JOHNNY??!

Johnny:
Coming!!
Oh yeah, I forgot my hacky sack in the bag.
You said you're clumsy, right? Maybe it'll help!
