"How much longer now?" "3:30 minutes." "Time flies!" "Well, it's relative..." "Do you know where will we live?" "Yes, sure, in the stars." "That was moving." "ln that space some might name..." "Legend. I heard." "That was beautiful." "I'm touched, really." "Don't you want to say something?" "Last words?" "Oh no. I'm fine." "Well..." "OK then." "Sergeant, sergeant..." "Sergeant?" "May you rest in peace, sergeant." "May you rest in that space only reserved for a few..." "No!" "No!" "I'm alive!" "Oh, sorry!" "Since you didn't answer..." "l was thinking of something else." "Oh, it's alright." "Do you realize, sergeant?" "What?" "As soon as the meteorite crashes into Earth, you and I will be the only two living humans in the whole universe." "Are you aware of this fact?" "Being here is such a privilege." "We're in an extraordinary observation point to acknowledge this incredible scene called "End of the world"." "Before two minutes, we will be the only witnesses of the last chapter in human's history." "You and I, sergeant." "Look at it:" "The Earth." "Our Earth." "Estimated time?" "1 :26."

"Of course, excuse me." "l'm always unable to set the flash." "Are you kidding?" "Do you mean to take a picture with the flash on?" "From here?" "It's nonsense!" "Actually..." "You are right." "Flash is only for objects in a close position." "Captain." "Yes?" "How big is the meteorite?" "It's three times the state of New Jersey." "Shouldn't we be seeing it yet?"

"I had a girlfriend," "Rebeca." "We dated for 4 years." "She made me think it was better to wait until our wedding night." "We were going to get married, had future plans..."

"Yes, I can time you if you want." "I need you to look into my eyes when you speak." "What?" "I can't hear." "I need to read your lips." "Already?"

"I think a guy told me he loved me." "It was out of the blue... I love you." "Are you stupid?" "But I am not sure if I could read his lips properly." "Maybe he said "l look at you", or something ending with "you"." "Sometimes I get confused and try to guess what people mean by the context..." "This isn't always effective." "Sure, he could have meant..." ""l warned you", "l saw you", "l meant you", "l lost you"..." "Yeah, right." "I was in a bar once, and I thougth a girl told me "l love you"," "but she was actually asking for ice cubes." "It was pathetic." "Tell me if I speak to loud, OK?" "You speak perfectly." "I can also tell you some pathetic tales about me." "I'm sure it's not that bad." "l used to be obese." "Obsesed?" "No, obese." "Fat, really fat..." "Almost morbid." "I had anxiety issues, ate too much bakery." "No way!" "Yes, I swear." "I've been on a diet for a year." "The nutritionist set it." "You look great now." "It's funny... I finally lose weight and the world comes to an end!" "Your turn." "She said I rocked her world." "Fine." "We can leave it if you want." "Why?" "lf you feel tired..." "No, don't worry." "They call her "the manmaker"." "She's disgusting." "She doesn't even want money." "Nobody knows why she does it, but she is working hard lately." "Maybe she is infected and wants revenge." "What?" "Can I kiss you, or you rather me not to?" "Think about it." "Maybe she just wants to infect as many victims as possible during her left days." "You twisted mind." "I think she just wants to make sense out of her last days." "Screwing virgins?" "No matter how." "I know this isn't how you imagined." "Maybe all that matters is feeling you are useful for whatever." "That you can change someone's life." "Like a good deed." "Like that..." "What will be your good deed?" "Definitely, not screwing a virgin." "No, I can think of something better:" "Forgive me." "I really like you." "I don't wanna be away from you." "Ready?" "Snap your fingers into the water every minute, will you?" "OK." "Give me those five!" "It's OK if I can't." "I am glad I met you today." "Actually, I wish I had met you before." "Me too..." "But life is too short anyway!" "Well, not that short." "lf you want..." "Yes?" "...We can have dinner tomorrow." "OK, but please let's eat something fat. I need it." "We can loot a supermarket or something." "It's a great idea." "I love you." "So, this is an invasion." "Instead of zombies, people show up and open their hearts." "I love you." "I love you." "I read on the Internet they're called "Romantics of the end of the world"." "They are everywhere." "I love you." "What?" "I'm Vero, you?" "8 DAYS TO impact" "I wouldn't think of it as a business anymore, Pablo." "What is it, then?" "This is like a service I'm providing to society." "Yeah, now selling drugs is a social service." "That's a good one!" "Seriously, Dani." "I think there are more... romantic ways of spending your last days." "Well, if people want to get high when their moment comes," "who am I to deny them that?" "Alex, how are things at the hospital?" "Are people going to work?" "Alex?" "What?" "Are doctors still going to work?" "No..." "Some do, but as volunteers." "Most hospitals are closed." "There's no point in going to the doctor anymore." "What was that?" "The kids on the house at the end of the road..." "Those little bastards!" "They won't stop lighting firecrackers." "When my parents lived here, they went on for a month." "Every night you could hear the firecrackers." "My dad was sick of it." "One night, he took his hunting shotgun and..." "Why are you smoking?" "Last time I saw you smoking we were 19." "What doesn't kill you..." "Aren't you enjoying the party?" "That's not a party!" "Parties are to celebrate happy things." "This is more like a funeral." "Are we celebrating our own death?" "We celebrate our live." "Damn it, Noelia!" "Would you like one?" "ls this another trick?" "Last time you saw me smoking, you made me quit..." "But we've discovered that the cure for cancer" "is coming to Earth in 8 days." "There's always a bright side." "How's Diego?" "Couldn't he come?" "No, he doesn't like you and didn't want to come." "He had a family meeting." "I pity him." "I like Claudia, but she's like a little girl." "Did you know she was going to leave Pablo?" "What?" "He told me. I think she would have already ditched him if this... I can't believe it." "I know... I guess sometimes we screw things trying to do the right thing." "Coming!" "Anybody missing?" "It must be a customer." "Dani said he was expecting someone." "He can join us." "And..." "How are you?" "Well..." "I don't know." "After almost two weeks in a coma, I woke up just when they discovered that the word was ending... I'm stuffed with pills, pain pierces my brain..." "But hey, I am celebrating my life." "So I guess I'm fine." "How's the other thing?" "That's bad." "After the accident I was lying on the ground," "and I tried to tell her..." "Next second, I woke up at the hospital." "She wasn't there." "They told me she lived 3 days, that she didn't wake..." "And that it wasn't my fault." "It was the car, the road..." "I don't know." "Honestly, the way things are, it was best she didn't wake up." "What about me?" "Why did I wake up?" "Who's that?" "l haven't seen her in my life." "Did she say something?" "No." "I opened the door and she fainted." "She's lost a lot of blood." "Dani, I need bandages or gauzes, do you have any?" "And towels!" "OK." "Help me, Noelia." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Help me break her stockings." "Carefull." "Looks like a bullet wound." "It came out without pain." "Help me, lift her leg." "Hold it." "Shouldn't we put a tourniquet on her?" "No, it's dangerous." "She could lose it." "What are you doing?" "Trying to know who she is." "What's that?" "Tickets..." ""You may come to the address therein named 72 hours previous to impact." "You may recieve further instructions to reach the closer shelter to your position."" "Well, here's everything." "Luckily dad hunts and mum..." "What?" "is she dead?" "There are shelters." "Pablo found tickets for one." "That's not possible." "Maybe she's some politician's daughter." "Did you think those people wouldn't escape somehow?" "Nobody can escape..." "You know." "We don't know how those shelters are, Alex." "Maybe they are like bunkers, or like ships." "Sure, like spaceships that will take us to live in the Moon." "Please, give me that." "That could be a possibility." "Better cherishing a hope than wait for death..." "Dani..." "There are 5 tickets." "Dani, give me that." "Alex, we don't know that girl at all." "She lost a lot of blood, and will probably die." "I won't let her die!" "Dani, leave that on the bed and everybody leave." "l'll stay and help you." "No." "Please, everybody leave." "Dani, are you OK?" "How is she?" "She's OK." "I made the bleeding stop, and there's no risk of infection." "She will survive." "Pablo, give me the tickets." "You are not thinking clearly." "l've never thought so clear." "Alex, these tickets..." "These aren't our tickets." "We can't leave her die and save ourselves." "Pablo didn't mean that, Alex." "These tickets could save us all." "We don't even know if they are real." "Maybe it's just a joke." "Why do you think somebody shot her?" "What I am trying to tell you..." "You are trying to tell me that we should let her die." "What if she doesn't die?" "Should we kill her?" "Will you kill her?" "You are an asshole." "Am I?" "I'm not talking about killing a person!" "Alex, why are you doing this to us?" "Do you think she has a right to live and we don't?" "Who do you think you are to decide if she lives or dies?" "So, who decides that?" "We're pretending everything is right, but it's not." "If there's a chance to live, I won't miss it." "Good." "You want to live, then kill her." "Take it!" "She'll wake up in a couple of hours, but we can't let that happen, can we?" "You have to kill her soon, and kill me too." "Alex!" "What?" "We want to live, right?" "Kill her then!" "What's wrong with killing someone?" "I don't want to kill anybody." "I'm just saying what everybody thinks." "What?" "Are we all saints here?" "Nobody thought about keeping the tickets?" "You don't care if you live or die?" "This is getting out of control." "Let's go for a sleep." "We can talk tomorrow." "Please, Pablo, please." "I hope you know what you're doing." "Sorry." "Pablo doesn't mean to hurt anybody." "He's just scared." "I've seen many people die just because somebody was scared." "If you need somebody to take care of the girl, I can do it." "I'll stay, thanks." "You should take a rest." "You didn't talk." "Sometimes is the best keeping quiet." "Sometimes silence means more than words." "Not everybody wants to die." "Something is burning in the cooker." "It's water with salt and sugar, for the girl. I'll turn it off." "So, is she going to recover?" "I don't know." "We'll have to wait, but I guess so." "That's good." "That's good, Alex." "l know." "Well, to be honest, that idea..." "crossed my mind..." "But we won't fight like animals over some pieces of paper, right?" "Not now." "Exactly." "Exactly." "What are they for?" "If I don't take them, everything hurts." "Waking from a coma is not like waking from a nap." "What is this?" "These are new." "You wouldn't believe all the new shit that's coming after the news about..." "People know they are going to die, and all they can do is getting high." "Party!" "What are the effects?" "Only half can stop all your aches, even soul aches." "They could shot you full of holes, and you would keep on walking..." "Al Pacino on Scarface style." "Sweet!" "Take one and you would go crazy." "Take two and..." "Bye, bye!" "Many people have been asking for these pills lately." "I guess they'll want to relieve the pain when they have to." "How's being in a coma, Alex?" "Nothing thrilling. lt's like sleeping." "Actually, I thought I was dreaming when I woke up, and that everything was just a nightmare." "But as days went by and everything stayed normal, I started thinking I had died in the accident." "I didn't understand..." "This couldn't be real, but it was." "If you are dead, you must have been a real motherfucker in your previous life... I don't think this is better than hell." "Who's there?" "It's me, Jorge Elias, from the comic store." "The weirdo... I'm here to get my stuff." "Coming!" "What's up, man?" "Hi." "Did you have problems to get here?" "No." "I mean, yes." "I kind of got lost, but anyway..." "Here, your stuff." "Are you sure this is it?" "I don't know if I want more." "Come on, man." "Special offer!" "You won't have many more chances." "Are you in?" "Alright..." "Wanna come in?" "No, I'd rather wait." "OK, I'll be right back." "OK." "Get away from here." "What will you do?" "Get out." "Don't take too much..." "We have two options:" "Tell me where the girl is, I take her and leave." "Or if you don't tell me, I take her and kill whoever crosses into my way." "Your choice." "What was that?" "I don't know, but it didn't sound like a firecracker." "Well, your way it is." "Dani has been shot." "Go to the basement and lock the door." "Wait!" "l'll get the others." "Meet me there." "Go to the fucking basement!" "Dani has been shot." "Go to the basement, I'll get the girl." "Alex." "Turn round!" "Come on!" "Where's the girl?" "Let's get an understanding:" "If you don't bother me, I'll take her and leave." "A win win situation." "If you misbehave, I'll shot everybody right now, OK?" "Let's try again." "Where's the girl?" "There's no girl here." "Where's she?" "Where?" "Tell me!" "Bitch." "As you wish..." "See?" "It was easy." "Just a little question:" "is there anybody else in the house?" "No." "Sorry if I don't trust you." "Let's go." "You said we were alone." "Sorry." "You can't trust anybody." "It seems you like it the hard way." "Come on!" "Open, now!" "I'll rip your eyes off!" "Open!" "Come on!" "Open, now!" "Open now, motherfuckers!" "I'll rip your eyes off!" "You bastards!" "Here's a deal." "I had a shitty day and I only want my tickets, OK?" "No surprises, no boiling water into my face." "I'll leave and you won't see me again." "I am being merciful." "If not, I'll break the door down and I'll blow your fucking head." "You have 3 minutes to think." "Where are the tickets?" "We can't give them to him." "What do you mean?" "You think he'll just take them and leave?" "I don't know, but it's our only chance." "Give me the tickets!" "No, no, no. I won't give him the fucking tickets." "He killed Dani, Pablo and Claudia." "If he gets the tickets, they will be dead for nothing." "is it because of her." "is it because of her?" "Saving her won't bring her back." "Alex, don't do this to me." "Give me the tickets." "l can't." "Alex, don't do this to me." "I don't want to die in this hole." "Give me the fucking tickets!" "I'm just trying to do the right thing." "Sometimes we screw things trying to do the right thing." "I can't." "Fuck!" "I am not a bad person, I just don't wanna die."

"Come and we will find someone to help you give birth." "I was supposed to give birth in 2 weeks. I won't do it today." "Why do you think I have stayed here for 9 hours?" "If I move, there are more chances to give birth." "Lara, your water broke. I'm no expert, but I think the baby is coming." "You can water break and give birth 24 hours after." "I just have to wait a little bit." "Will you spend your last 3 hours in the world crossing your legs hard not to give birth?" "Exactly." "Why is that?" "I won't bring a baby to this world to let him die the next minute." " That's wrong." "How could having a baby be wrong?" "lt's immoral today." "lt's not immoral. lt's a bummer." "Yes, an immoral bummer." "No!" "lt is!" "lt isn't!" "Yes!" "lt isn't!" "lt is!" "lt isn't!" "It is!" "Lara, I used to be on the debate team at school." "Then I graduated in philosophy in college, so if we start arguing about ethic, I'll whitewash you!" "Did you just spit on me?" "Yes!" "Wash that!" "So, this is my punishment?" "You spit on me?" "Do you realize how pointless is that?" "Leave me alone!" "I was here peacefully..." "OK!" "I just wanted to help." "Stay here then, about to explode like the wolf after eating grandma." "Wait!" "You don't get it." "There's no one out there, even if we found someone, who would spend his last hours helping a stranger to give birth?" "I can help you myself. lf you let me." "You are in my shop." "It's my responsibility." "Have you ever assisted a birth?" "No, but I have seen "Alien" many times." "It won't be too different." "Erm..." "I brought some water and peanuts." "Water, nice!" "Ok, I'll come out." "But for the record, I still don't want to give birth." "Wait a minute..." "Why are you here anyway?" "What?" "I told you why I came here, but why did you come to the shop?" "I work here." "Doctors also work in the hospital, but they didn't stay there." "Tell me the truth, or I won't come." "Well, I came to... to..." "So, who cares?" "I came here to kill myself." "You came here to kill yourself and avoid suffering, but you make me bring my baby to make him suffer." "Do you realize how pointless is that?" "It's different!" "I have breathed, dreamt, slept, travelled, even fucked... a little." "It hasn't been "the life", but i have lived." "Your son deserves to exist, at least." "Besides, my decision is personal." "Yours is not only for you to make it..." "Where is the father?" "Let me guess:" "Afraid to commitment?" "Leukemia." "Died 6 months ago, crying because he would never meet his son." "Holy fuck..." "I'm truly sorry." "I was lying." "Afraid to comitment indeed." "He shot of while I was still holding the predictor." "He gave me 20 euros to abort." "Left a post it on the freezer." "That's a romantic motherfucker." "Sorry." "It's OK." "You are the first one who wants me to give birth." "Everbody thinks I'm too young." "My parents paid a fancy clinic for me to have it removed like a tumor." "I took the money and run..." "Actually I have been living out of the money people gave me so that the baby wasn't born." "When I thought nothing else would happen," "God decided to send a fucking meteorite." "Fuck, even God tried to stop him..." "Maybe your baby is the Antichrist." "By the way..." "A priest once told me something weird..." "He touched my belly and said the skies would turn red when my baby was born." "Holy fuck!" "... And we would all be judged." "Fucking hell..." "l hadn't realized till now..." "He told me... to deliver a message when the moment came." "What message?" "Come closer." "Are you stupid?" "What?" "Are you stupid?" "!" "My baby is no Antichrist!" "l was just joking!" "You almost deafened me, honey." "Are you retarded?" "Don't say spooky things to me." "You are spooky!" "Do you realize?" "If you have the baby, you will beat them." "What?" "lf you have the baby, you'll beat that motherfucker who ditched you." "You'll beat your parents, that didn't support you, and also this crappy world without a future." "What's my prize?" "Life!" "Simple like that." "Wow. I used to think people in debate teams were jerks..." "OK, set something so I can lay." "I'm gonna expel the alien." "Let's see if it withstands." "There." "Lightsabers were a good idea." "We need coths. I'll get them." "Jorge!" "Yes?" "is that one of the comics you were going to read before dying?" "Yes." "I didn't like it." "You didn't like it?" "It's the best Superman comic ever!" "It solves all the plots of Superman prior to Crisis." "Scripted by Alan Moore!" "The best of the best!" "Well, I didn't like it." "Maybe it's just because you are giving birth and the world is ending." "Conditions aren't the best." "It's not that..." "It's..." "The flying dog with a cape." "That's "Krypto, the Superdog"!" "He was always Superman's dog!" "No, Superman has no dog." "Ohhh..." "He does." "Not in Cristopher Reeve's movie." "Well, not in that movie." "But he has a dog." "Not in "Smallville", or in "Lois  Clark", or in that movie where Kevin Spacey played Lex Luthor." "Well, he had a dog in the comics." "Period!" "Alright?" "Alright." "Erm..." "He "had"?" "Yes, he was taken out of the continuity..." "Those idiots, they thought kids nowadays would think it is stupid for Superman to have a dog." "Well, it is stupid." "Did you say something?" "No!" "It was a contraction." "Alright." "It would be stupid sending your only son to another planet without a dog who can take care of him!" "Great!" "I hope they also sent a superpoo catcher, and superscissors to supercastrate him so that he doesn't superfucks every superbitch on Metropolis supermarket!" "That... that was mean." "I'm gonna get those cloths." "Be right back." "I couldn't find cloths." "Leonidas' cape should make it." "Why do you want them?" "I don't want them." "You just went to get them out of the blue." "I don't know..." "You always need clothes for a birth." "I don't know why." "I do need something to squeeze." "What?" "l don't know." "Let me see..." "Your choice." "That volume over there." "Not that one." "Try this one." "This?" "It's huge..." "Better to squeeze that one." "Those huge volumes are so third-rate." "Here." "You are a wise woman." "...He had other phases when he got closer to other authors." "That's how Alan Moore changed the comics of superheroes." "He proved that adult issues could be showed, and made graphic novel popular." "OK, fine." "I promise I won't ruin the comic." "Let's start, we're running out of time." "Let's do this." "Wow." "Erm..." "No..." "What's wrong?" "l have to take your pants off." "Come on, man!" "Stop talking, start acting." "The world is ending and I am giving birth," "you idiot!" "OK." "Oh, my goodness!" "What?" "What?" "Nothing." "Sorry, I haven't seen one of these so close for a while." "Don't make me laugh, I'll shit all over." "Won't you pee all over?" "Trust me, don't tempt fate." "Come on!" "Help me, please!" "Help me or the Earth will explode before I do!" "Alrightly. I was just wondering..." "What should I do?" "Stay calm." "Just stay there and talk to me." "I know what I have to do." "I think you should do the talking, so you can forget you are trying to get a melon out from a kiwi sized hole." "No." "Stay there and tell me anything." "You do the talking, I do the pushing." "Oh, man." "What should I tell you?" "Tales?" "I don't know..." "Something about that Hell's Angel on the poster." "Erm..." "He's not writting anymore." "He's a magician now." "Like David Blaine or like Houdini?" "What's the difference?" "Whatever!" "I'm giving birth here..." "I don't know!" "He's more like Merlin or Dumbledore." "Erm..." "I know!" "He asks to be removed from the credits every time his comics become a movie." "Any movie I might have seen?" "Surely..." "From Hell?" "Johnny Deep's on it, and "Bilbo Baggins" plays Jack the Ripper." "No idea." "Nevermind. lt doesn't give a fuck about the original comic." "And "Watchmen"," ""V for Vendetta", where Anonymus borrowed their masks from..." "And "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"." "I have no fucking clue!" "is Sean Connery in that one?" "The very same." "It's so bad." "It's a piece of shit." "But trust me, the comic is a masterpiece." "Oh!" "I know a fun fact about that movie!" "Wanna know?" "Yes!" "Yes!" "So..." "Sean Connery gets the script for Matrix." "The Wachowskies wanted him to play Morpheus." "He reads it, but he's an old man, so he gets messed up with virtual reality, red and blue pill..." "He says he wouldn't play it." "Then..." "Are you OK?" "Yes." "Then, Peter Jackson offers him the rol of Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings", but he doesn't see the point of Middle-earth," "Hobbies and so on." "Both sagas succeeded, you know that." "No." "The following year, he recieved the script of "The League...", read it and thought:" ""Wow, this is bad to the bone"." "But also:" ""This Scotish won't be screwed over 3 times in a row, I'll get loads of money"." "But he got loads of shit." "Poor thing." "Well..." "He played James Bond and Indiana Jones' dad." "He can die in peace." "He's left his mark in this world." "He is the only man able to earn people's respect even wearing a skirt." "Would you have liked that?" "No. I get rubbings in my inner tights and I have to use a balsam." "No, you idiot." "Would you have liked leaving your mark?" "I guess so, I would have liked doing something important." "Like scripting X-Men, or Legion of Super-Heroes." "is that important to you?" "Yes, something to be remembered." "How silly..." "Silly to the core, right?" "Jorge, darling." "May I ask you something?" "Sure." "What the fuck is going on down there?" "!" "There's no way!" "Baby is coming upside down!" "Are you sure?" "No. I studied philosophy, not pediatrics." "But yes." "I can't, can't, can't... lt hurts..." "Hurts like hell..." "I can't..." "Sorry, Lara. I made you go trough this for nothing." "No. lt's not for nothing." "This baby has to be born, OK?" "He won't die in my belly." "You said he deserved to exist." "But I don't know what to do!" "Do anything!" "Whatever!" "Please, please." "Take this. lt'll make you stronger." "How are you feeling?" "I see the gold volcano..." "To the north of the scarlet jungle." "Wow, you're fucked up." "Listen, Lara." "This is our last chance." "I need you to push." "Imagine you're Hulk and are arm wrestling with The Thing." "Got it?" "Not at all." "Whatever." "Just push like a beast." "When I say "now", OK?" "OK." "Yes." "May Kirby assists us all." "Now!" "Now!" "He's alive!" "Alive!" "Give me the monster, Doctor Frankenstein." "Here!" "He is beautiful." "Look." "My son!" "God!" "He is wrinkled as a prune..." "He's so beautiful." "Holy crap!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing. lt's just the afterbirth, kind of shocking." "Fuck!" "Not now!" "The hairy man on the poster." "He is looking." "lt's just a picture, Lara." "No!" "He is in front of me." "Can't you see him?" "Why not?" "Erm..." "Only those who... shed blood or tears on his sacred book can see him." "I told you he was a wizard." "It's scary, Jorge..." "Don't let him hurt us, please." "He won't hurt us..." "Magicians like visiting new borns." "Like the three fairies to the Sleeping Beauty..." "Or the Three Kings to Jesuschrist." "I love the Three Kings..." "I love them." "Don't cry, Lara." "Everything is OK." "Yes." "You beat them all!" "We won." "We won." "Yes, the hairy man says that..." "That everything will be OK." "Trust him, Lara, OK?" "OK, OK." "I am cold." "Listen, Jorge..." "You did something very important today." "More than scripting X-Men." "Don't say that... I wil..." "Never forget you." "So, this is hail and farewell, my friend." "I hope this party was worth it..." "You've met your mum, your uncle Jorge, you've been in a comic store..." "A toast to your life." "You, little thing." "You have your mum's eyes." "You know that?" "I think my life's been fullfilled because I was here to help you be born." "What do you think?" "I die with her." "The baby lives." "You keep him safe." "Where will you take him?" "Ah, also..." "Could you take the dog too?" "Face it, tiger..." "You just hit the jackpot." "Aren't they all?" "How much longer for impact?" "25 minutes, captain." "Set the camera then." "Why would we take a picture?" "Set the camera, sergeant." "lt's charging, in the station." "Go and get her." "I don't want to miss it just because I go to get the camera." "There's plenty of time." "But actually..." "Go and get her, sergeant." "Fuck!" "Twenty five minutes to become a legend." "You and I, sergeant, are two privileged." "The two last men dying." "Hope not to miss it." "Being here right now is an honour, sergeant." "This is an extraordinary spot to watch a unique scene called" ""End of the world"." "I'm gonna miss it." "Sergeant." "Yes, captain." "You should hurry now." "Fuuuuck..." "EVERYONE dies AT THE END"
