[Buzz is starting to wonder why this matters to her so much. Defining a person sounds like . . . well, it sounds like something he's never had to actually sit down and do, because all he knows is he's not one. He believed he was, and then he learned he was not.

Defining a person is going to mean digging into all the ways he's not one.

He considers not doing that labor and just ignoring the message. But not responding during a conversation would be very rude in person. It's just as rude over technology.]

A person has control over their own fate and decides what to do with their life. They aren't made by other people to be a certain thing.

[This is putting him in such a bad mood. He likes what he is, spaceman and toy and all. If he were a person, he wouldn't pick anything but a spaceman who protects and brings joy to kids.

But it was such a harsh journey for him to get there, and realize it.

That's no reason to be rude to the young lady. She doesn't know that not being a person was difficult for him to accept. She's only asking him something that, likely, she's never had to think about.]

Since they aren't made to be one thing, they have to figure out what it is they want to be. Toys like Woody and me help by being there for kids, as they play and learn about the world, and what they want to do in it.

You must have experienced that, when you were a kid. Or did I get that part wrong?

[Who knows? He only THOUGHT he was a person. Maybe he's totally off the mark about what it's like to be one.]
