I mean, all that stuff about hating me and that last bit about, uh, feelings. I admit I don't know too much about modern times like putting walkie-talkies in dolls. I wish I knew what you were talking about. My name is Erich streator, and I'm going to get rid of you.Īnnabelle would hate you, Christie would hate you, and I would hate you. My name is talky Tina and I'm beginning to hate you. It hadn't occurred to me, but if that's what you want to think. Lacking a brother or sister, is that what you mean?īut that's why you bought the doll, isn't it? My name is talky Tina and I love you very much.īe a good girl, Tina, and eat your supper. I know you got more than you bargained for when you married me.īut we'll do anything to make you happy. I appreciate all the faith you have in me. I'm glad I'm not the cold, cruel ogre that mommy and daughter think I am. You could love Christie, I know you could if you'd only give yourself half a chance. Isn't that what you're saying, Annabelle? I'm only her stepfather, and I'm incapable of loving children because we can't have any of our own. I know you're having a difficult time adjusting to her, but I can't let you treat her this way. I don't know how much more of this I can take. Yeah, well, that's not what it said a minute ago. My name is talky Tina, and you'll be sorry. My name is talky Tina and I think I could even hate you. To Erich streator, she is a most unwelcome addition to his household.īut without her he'd never enter the twilight zone. Talky Tina, a doll that does everything, a lifelike creation of plastic and springs and painted smile. My name is talky Tina, and I don't think I like you. Now we'll get more of that Freudian gibberish you've been getting from her doctor, huh? I don't think it's the price of the doll that's upsetting you. I know, you charged it, but how much did it cost? My name is talky Tina, and I love you very much. She moves, and she can talk, and I just love her already. It's one she's had her eye on for months.įor heaven sakes, Annabelle, a doll like that could cost. Honey, I want you to run upstairs with your present. You've just crossed over into the twilight zone.

You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You unlock this door with the key of imagination.
