"My dad died suddenly of a heart attack." "My mom was diagnosed with cancer a few months after that." "I came home from college a couple years ago to take care of her and she died last week."

"No, but I feel like a grown-ass man who misses his parents." "( sighs ) So... you gonna tell me something now?" "Like what?" "I don't know." "But I just bared my soul to you."

"Are you sure there's no security here?" "No, but, Evan, I feel like you don't want to see my home town." " What the fuck?" " Yup." "When excavators came across chambers shaped like human..." "Ev..." "Evan, no!" "( laughing )" " No, come back." " Was that a real dog?" "What are you doing?" "They injected plaster into them and that's what you get." "And here we have the whorehouse." "I've never been there." "But I've been to the bakery you see to your right and to the bar here on the corner." "And..." "Evan:" "What?" "I want to show you my family now." "Okay, that's weird." "I didn't know their tombs were here, but..." "So this is my father, my mother, and my little brother." "How did you get away in time?" " I didn't." " Then how did you get out?" "You really want to know?" "It's 2,000 years ago, so I'm doing fine." "My pain threshold is still built for birthing, so lava is fine." "My oxytocin case study?" "I got it from her." "It's hereditary." "She gave it all up for me and my father." "I don't want to die and I don't want to watch anyone die." "Well, at least you got the same backstory as Harry Potter." " That's pretty cool." " ( laughs )" "Can I say something in absolute sincerity?" "I'm gonna miss the hell out of you." "Like, it's gonna fucking hurt, bad." "Your perfect male fantasy just shattered." "A younger wife and a sugar mama." "( laughs )" "Yeah, you forgot the incest part." "I mean, I'm an open-minded guy, but I probably wouldn't want that." "That's the Temple of Apollo sundial." " This?" " No, no, no." "Mm-mm." "After we borrowed him from the ancient Greeks, he was replaced by Jesus, and now we don't know who the old clock belongs to." "Um, one last thing you should know." "Right before I transform, if I transform... that monster is gonna be the biggest and sharpest." "How big?" "Just run." "Really fast." "( sighs ) We never got my clothes." "No." "One of us says something about journey and destination." "Destinations are underrated?" "You ever wonder what life is like in the finite?" "Terrifying all the time, I'm sure." "( laughs ) I don't think so." "Even at my lowest, I'm still excited to use the time the best I can." "There's motivation to make every second count." "You never got lonely?" "Not since I met you." "Doesn't it scare you losing that?" "( flesh bubbling )" "What are you doing?" "Begging." "Go on, it's time." "Tell me more about the finite." "Um... let's see, uh..." "When you're sick, it makes you feel lucky for all the times when you were healthy." "Uh, sunrises and sunsets... some things are just beautiful no matter what and a constant reminder that you only get so many." "So you better fucking enjoy 'em." "Some pizza and a bottle of wine with the right person that can make the shittiest day better." " ( crackling )" " Coffee dates take up a pretty good chunk of your time, but... but they're worth it." "I don't know, you can choose to work yourself to death, but you could also throw all that work away without regrets for the right person." "Maybe that's chemical, but it's also magic." "Uh, love comes around a couple times, if you're lucky." "( crackling continues )" "Life probably seems short no matter what, but..." "( exhales )" "( music playing )"
