“Dance,” said the Sheep Man. “You gotta dance. As long as the music plays, you gotta dance. Don’t even think why. Start to think, your feet stop. Your feet stop, we get stuck. We get stuck, you’re stuck. So don’t pay any mind, no matter how dumb. You gotta keep the step. You gotta limber up. You gotta loosen what you bolted down. You gotta use all you got. We know you’re tired, tired and scared. Happens to everyone, okay? Just don’t let your feet stop.”
「跳舞吧，」羊男說。「你一定要跳舞。只要音樂還在響，你就得繼續跳。連為什麼都不要去想。一開始思考，腳步就會停下來。腳一停，我們就會卡住。一卡住，你就動不了了。所以別放在心上，不管看起來多蠢。你得跟上節奏。你得活動筋骨。你得把那些被你鎖死的東西鬆開。你得用上你擁有的一切。我們知道你很累，又累又害怕。每個人都會這樣，好嗎？只是，千萬別讓你的腳停下來。」
