What does a demonstration of life look like?

Here is what a demonstration of death looks like:
  "Do you want to move? .. ok"
  "I play here.  Do you want to move? .. ok"
  "I play here.  Do you want to move? .. ok"
  "I play here.  Do you want to move? .. ok"
  "I play here."  Clatter clatter clatter.
