"I don't want a computer autocorrecting everything." "I wanna capture the moment." "You are a stubborn son of a gun." "My dad would talk about capturing the moment, okay?" "Now I was never very good at it." "Um, I mean sometimes I kept a little piece of it." "It feels good because you're capturing something where everything is great." "There's nothing bad."

"Well it was simple." "And the stories were simple." "There's that mischievous age of the warmhearted." "And the adventures of Inqua, the far traveler." "You heard about Inqua?" "I have not."

"And do you think that all of this, everything that has happened, was all a part of god's plan?" "Well, belief and faith aren't the same thing." "I don't know what god's plan is." "Well, that's kind of the point." "What are we gonna do?" "Mm..." "Maybe everybody really did go to the other side of the island." "Okay?" "Maybe the main communication pipe failed."

"We need to talk about this." "Riley!" "[laughs]" "Why are you laughing?" "You need to be more careful, please." "This was an accident." "How am I supposed to stop an accident from happening?" "You could've broken a bone." "Or worse, hit an artery." "And you don't think we could've avoided that accident." "We're not gonna stop living our lives just because you think something might happen." "Excuse me." "We're not gonna stop living our lives" "Okay, it is not about that." "What if something were to happen to you?" "There is no 9-1-1." "There is no one." "You're freaking out right now." "Can you just relax and enjoy this..." "I'm fine." "It's just a scratch."

"Well I'm sure that there's an English copy of it somewhere." "No, I don't want a copy." "I want my copy." "It wasn't a journal, it was I guess more of a log." "Everything important that happened or you know, little memories, I'd write everything in there." "Why Kill a Mockingbird?" "My dad got it for me." "This story about racism, lynching, rape." "Great bedtime story for an eight-year-old." "For whatever reason I-I hung onto it, I connected with it." "You're in there." "I'm in your book?" "The first time I said I love you." "Well before I said it to you, I wrote it in there." "[chuckles] [piano music]" "¶ ¶" "When I look around, I see a beautiful country," "I see land, springs, houses, and then there's you and me." "And we have everything we need." "Everything else, we can build." "Just you and I together." "We can't build everything." "[laughs]" "We don't need to." "The hard work's been done for us." "Just need to stock up a little, that's all." "We have the world at our feet." "I just wanna go home." "I just want my book back." "[serene music]" "¶ ¶" "Damnit." "What are you eating?" "That's the blueberry one." "The blueberry ones aren't ready yet." "Well." "Tastes ready." "The strawberry ones expire first." "Well I wanted a blueberry one." "We agreed to eat them in order." "It's like three days different, alright." "That's not the point." "What is the point?" "The point is, we are not going to have fruits and vegetables." "And then the meat goes if the refrigeration is still even working." "[sighs]" "Look." "We can plant more vegetables." "I can get more meat." "No, that's-that's good." "So what are you gonna do?" "Go be Johnny Hunter?" "Get a shotgun and shoot a cow in the head?" "And then what?" "Do you really think you're capable of that?" "Do you think I am?" "Just eat the food in order." "[serene music]" "¶ ¶" "Nice uh, mark." "Taking Ash Wednesday to the next level, huh?" "Can I ask you something?" "This whole thing, this disappearing act." "Was this your guy?" "Because I can't figure it out." "Maybe it was my guy." "Maybe those chosen few are back home roasting marshmallows or whatever." "Why does this happen when I'm here?" "Stuck in no man's land." "Maybe our guys are the same guys." "You ever think about that?" "Maybe that's why I'm stuck in no man's land."

"Can you see it?" "[piano music]" "¶ ¶" "They say that there were these two trolls who tried to stop the incoming ships in the new world." "They grabbed and they pulled." "But the ships were too strong, and the sun rose and turned the trolls to stone." "And they left these petrified markers as a kind of gateway between the ancient ways and the new world." "It's like they were waiting for us to bring in everything that was clean and good and fresh." "I always liked that." "We're out of water." "I know." "[serene music]" "¶ ¶" "[brakes squeak]" "It's from the 70s." "What's it doing here?" "Um, just abandoned I guess." "You see it the side." "What, they just left it?" "I guess so." "It's beautiful though, don't you think?" "I don't think we're looking at the same thing." "What do you mean?" "Another forsaken object that's outlived its usefulness." "It's just an airplane." "Exactly, it's garbage." "Don't try to tell me that it's beautiful." "This is dead." "Can't you see what this is?" "No, go ahead." "Enlighten me." "What is it?" "No one's coming back for us." "No one." "I thought you'd like this." "This isn't some sort of game." "God damnit, I know it's not a game." "Well you can't just change the scenery and expect me to smile!"

"My god, there's nothing left." "Exactly." "There's no need to be here." "Let's go, please." "Just turn around." "We'll find some flowers." "This is what we needed." "Just a change of scenery." "I mean, the city's no place for us right now." "We're pioneers here." "We don't need all those complications." "Man has been happy for thousands of years without all that stuff." "Just come out here where the air is fresh and everything's simple." "Simple." "Of course that means no more gingerbread lattes." "I'll survive." "We got enough food for the weekend." "It's gonna be a nice little uh, little getaway." "[engine cuts off]" "Let's find a spot." "Beautiful." "There's a fireplace." "Yeah." "Wood stove." "I'll go get some wood."

"I thought if the world is going to end, I will come here where shortly I'll join them." "Were you in Iceland when it happened?" "[coughing]" "Is this your place?" "This is my cabin." "But in previous life I was a fisherman." "What have you been doing?" "I made my bed." "Well you don't have to join your family just yet." "I mean, we're here."

"We hadn't been alone." "It's worse." "You and I." "Well Jesus Christ, I mean, that's not very helpful." "Alright?" "There's three of us now." "There is one and one and one." "We each occupy our own distinct space." "It's worse alone on the sea." "I don't get why... it doesn't make any sense." "Why are you so determined to give up?" "What brought you here?" "Uh, we were on vacation." "My first time overseas." "I've been here all my life." "I spent time in the isles, years ago, but the sun has always set on the western shore for me." "I miss my family." "The Welsh have a word." "Hera." "Grief for a home you cannot return." "And as a young man, I left my wife and my young son to make my living." "I was on the seas for months." "When I returned, nothing was the same." "My son was a young lad and my wife was not the woman" "I had left." "I sat in my own home and did not belong." "She left you?" "She didn't need to." "She was already absent." "But soon I spent more and more time on the sea." "There was nothing you could do?" "How is that fair?" "The world is the world." "You cannot fault it for not behaving as you believe it should." "So you don't believe that we've been led here to find each other?" "We do not factor in the will of god." "His plan for us to exist in the world he has created for us not to exist in his world." "What if that's true then?" "We really are on our own." "There's another meaning of hera." "Longing for a foregone home." "Perhaps a home that never was." "And none of it matters." "Even if god exists, he's forsaken us." "You, human, go forth." "And in the end the question of our context is inconsequential." "If there is a design we are foregone to fit within it."

"Will they welcome him now?" "Yeah, you're not making any sense." "Talk to me." "I don't know what you're talking about." "What's the point of burying him?" "Laying here, six feet under." "What's the difference?" "This is what we do." "We bury the dead." "None of this makes any sense." "What doesn't make any sense?" "Why was he here?" "I don't know." "There has to be someone else." "Another... old man, or a woman, or a child that may need our help." "It's been weeks." "We haven't seen anybody." "But have we really been looking?" "[sighs]" "Please help me."

"I'm not saying that it's a mistake." "I'm just saying it doesn't really matter." "Is this gonna change the way that you live your life?" "Does it have to?" "Is it gonna change who you are?"

"The glacier slides a little further, it refreezes, it... it's just this constant cycle." "Life is resetting, it's reinventing." "Jenai, it's trying." "Okay?" "I mean, this place is beautiful because of all that." "There is no tomorrow here." "There is no yesterday." "There is just this moment right here" "Stop." "I am trying."
