Girl: hey, guys, what is this?
Boy: a gate. It connects
The inside and outside.
Girl: outside?
We've never been outside.
Boy : that's because we haven't
Left here since being born.
Girl: so is this what mom
Always tells us about?
"Never go near the gate or fence
In the back of the forest,
'Cause it's dangerous."
Boy : she says that,
But it's not true.
Boy : it's not?
Girl: hey, ray,
What would you do outside, huh?
Ray: I don't know. You, emma?
Emma: I'd ride a giraffe!
Ray: good luck.
Boy: this gate...
You know, I wonder
What it's really
