My sense is that she thinks it is more than that-like a blockage on his part that makes him withhold. After suggesting a rash of subjects they could discuss, and assuring him she would listen to whatever he would say, wise or silly, she throws a slew of questions at him: Is your silence that golden? Are you comfortable in it? Is it the key to your freedom Or is it the bars on your prison? Are you gagged by your ribbons? Are you really exclusive or just miserly? Then she admonishes You spend every sentence as if it was marked currency! It seems like she is trying to break through his wall. Then again, he could be like the guy in the bar in "Raised On Robbery" who just wants to be left alone and watch the game! RR
