Anyways, I think the party's gonna start pretty soon. You wanna head back? ‐ Is that a joke? No. Why would I do that? ‐ I don't know. Eat, drink, dance. Bask in love. ‐ That is not love. ‐ Of course it is! Tala's in love. ‐ No. You don't actually know what you're talking about. We. You. Me. Everyone. Everyone we know. Nobody can stand the idea of being alone, so we... buy into this pageantry and celebrate its bullshit. ‐ All right. So no wedding, then. Where do you wanna go?

‐ Oh my God. Maybe it's a karma thing. ‐ What is? ‐ Yeah. What if it's like to get out of this... you have to be selfless and then you're free. ‐ I just bought a hundred‐dollar candy bar and I'm still here. ‐ Yeah, but not like that. Like real acts of selflessness, like the bone marrow shit that Tala does, you know. Look, what if, oh my God, what if life just keeps going for everyone else here but not you and me until we've earned our way out? You've really never thought about this before? ‐ Yeah, no, I've never thought about the multiverse. All right, fine, let's say you're right and that would work, what's the most selfless act you can think of? Something that would guarantee this day to end.
