“I think part of me was waiting for Walter to come back and tell me it was all a joke that had gone too far. That the world hadn't really ended. That we weren't prisoners in this strange house.
Walter was always the person I called when I was in trouble. When I was sad in a way I couldn't talk to other people about, even Naya. He'd been the best man at my wedding. He had this intensity to him, and if he looked you in the eyes and told you that you were doing the right thing, you believed him. Or I did, anyways.
But there was still this... I don't know... this loneliness in him.”

“Okay, look out at this bar, and this city. This way of people dressing, and the way we talk, and our dumb jobs and our dumb lives.

I think this will end.

It'll end slowly, though. It'll crack apart, systems will break down because they always break down.

America won't last forever because nothing does or ever will.

And we'll think that's the end of the world. Like while it's happening, that's what we'll call it. But then, thousands of years later . . . there will still be people.

They'll just be . . . you know . . . different.”
