Clone story 4
Say hello to the clones of our forefathers.... a dialogue (recorded 11/01/02 within awarehouse)

CLONE: Hi! My name is Arthur Redgrave, or it would be, if I was not a clone of him.
YOU: Greetings and salutations! You are the splitting image of our ancestor.
CLONE: I cannot help it.
YOU: I don't expect you to take responsibility. I only point it out as a matter for you to consider. I want you to be aware of your own power to reproduce visually the likeness of the real Arthur Redgrave, dead these many years now. No one alive today ever laid eyes upon your face-sake. We are seeing what so many of your original's contemporaries saw during his lifetime.
CLONE: I am a mere shadow of my original. The light hit him and where it was blocked by him, there on the wall behind him, so shall I remain.
YOU: Do shadows walk amongst their master's descendants in the guise of their masters?
CLONE: Apparently.
YOU: Do shadows lie dormant in the dark? Are they then awakened in future times and made to resemble their masters?
CLONE: Everything about me is a copy of Arthur Redgrave.
YOU: You are a reproduction.
CLONE: I am a forgery.
YOU: Yet your artifice is on display. I believe, if I am not wrong, that the original Arthur Redgrave spoke no English? And here you are, fluent in English for you were raised by English.
CLONE: My tongue is not authentic?
