The first two definitely; the third is a bit of a stretch, though it may be my
subconscious is again being smarter than I was at the time. Note also that the
"what do you want?" question is echoed over and over...as it would later be
echoed all over by Morden. If you go back over the actual logic of how the
scene would have played, that bit only works if you allow for the
hallucination. That was the hand of the author showing where, frankly, it
probably should not have showed.

Could be....
