This scene opens on a cold, barren mountaintop in the middle of nowhere. The narrator is alone on the mountaintop. He tells the audience that he is here because he wants to be alone. He says that he almost forgot why he is there. He asks the narrator to take off his coat and go straight up to the top of the mountain. He offers to help him do so, but the narrator says that it is too cold to do so. He then tells the narrator that he can do it himself, and that he doesn't care if there is anyone else on the mountain, as long as he does it himself. When the narrator asks why the man is wearing his coat, the narrator tells him that he did not choose it and that it was a "pervert." The narrator asks the man why he was wearing it, and the man replies that he was uneasy that he had not chosen it. The man then asks if the narrator has changed his clothes and the narrator responds that he does not need to change, as he can change himself.
