Man: when it starts to hurt let’s sing something…
Ellie: It’s going to hurt?
Man: I think so… I wanted to feel it just a little. We’ll be awake for a while at least. I think it’ll be fast though.
Ellie: I don’t want to go yet.
Man: I know. Me too.
Ellie: I wish I had a biscuit. I can’t really eat, just to hold you know… warm.
Man: That’s a great wish (pause) I wish we still had a dog
Ellie: I wish for infinity wishes
Man: We’d never have to work again
Ellie: early retirement
Man: that’s us
(short pause)
Ellie: I want to sing something sweet really sweet
Man: Should we sing I Will Follow You into the Dark?
Ellie: But that’s like exactly about this… is it weird?
Man: There’s a song about everything
Ellie: Should we sing something happy?
Man: I don’t think we can sing anything happy
Ellie: yeah
Man: we should wait though.
