In this short scene, Bolingbroke tries to convince himself that he's not crazy yet. He's already killed a bunch of people in the game, so he doesn't need to worry about being ignored. He just needs to be an "advanced player" , which means he'll be able to kill even more people. But he can't do that because the game is taking away "human nature" from him and his fellow players. They're both "lunatics," he says, and they'll do anything for "beauty" . But hey, they're not crazy, either. They just need to wake up and stop playing the game. It's been a while since they've been able to play together, and it's time for them to get together.
