“Um, I’m sorry, Senator, but are you asking me to defend my art? My art is my art.”

“Hmm yes yes, your art is your art, I’m sure. But we are here today to ascertain — to ascertain your culpability, hmm. Your culpability for the sexual deviance.”

“I assure you, my dolls do not cause anything. My dolls are dolls. Whatever deviance is exhibited in anyone owning them would likely have been exhibited regardless of their purchase. Perhaps there’s a correlation, but I assure you –”

“Hmmm, yes, a correlation, exactly. A definite correlation definitely, isn’t there? Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmmm. Yes. Quite definitely. I assure you.”

“Are you ok? Your eyes are–”

“Oh but I assure you it wasn’t just a correlation! You caused it. Take one look, one look at that doll there. You tell me.”

“What?”

“Yesssssssssssssss.”

…

“Yes. It is as I knew it, all along.”
