Aurora: "Listen C, I want to say thank you again for helping me carry Dani to the boat."
Possession C: "We are not done talking, Aurora."
Aurora: "Pardon? It appears we are. Hand me the envelope. It is dark and we need to depart."
C: "The envelope stays with me, and I stay with you and Dani. Let's go."
Aurora: "You are condemning an Earth in a parallel universe to foreseeable tragedy in order -"
C: "In order for me to leave? No, don't make this bigger than it really is."
Aurora: "Yes, I am not sure even you want anyone to live in a dystopia. Regardless, I need that."
C: "This envelope with Murakami's DNA in it? What is it you want again?"
Aurora: "That biological sample to stop a world from transforming into the setting in his novel."
C: "Aurora, I'm going. I had to charm a butler to get near Murakami's leg."
Aurora: "In four years he will publish his novel '1Q84'! Another Earth will start transforming!"
C: "You're yelling when you should be begging. I can rule this other Earth."
Aurora: "You may be correct. Let us keep that Earth free. Remember, the agreement was to stay."
C: "I'm leaving with you two. We'll start with visits to New York, London, ..."
Aurora: "Okay... woman... shut... your... pie... hole!"
C: "That's rich. You're cute - when you're getting increasingly frustrated and angry."
Aurora: "Stop talking and hand over the envelope!"
C: "I am not, repeat, am not, staying in 2007, in early 21st Century Japan."
Aurora: "Instead, you're like Mussolini in 1935, digging in and attacking Ethiopia! Here we go!"
C: "Ow! Holy Hell! What was that for?!"
Aurora: "My strike to your nose should have made my intentions toward you unambiguous."
C: "That punch has led to blood going every which way - out both nostrils!"
Aurora: "Agreed, take my handkerchief. I will trade you for the envelope. Thank you so much."
C: "You think you're morally superior but act violently like everybody else."
Aurora: "I know who I am. By contrast, you are a bully and brat who cannot be reasoned with."
C: "Consider this: Dani has a new laptop. She'll abandon you in 1947."
Aurora: "Dani and I will finish this. Though you are not worthy of niceties, I bid you farewell."164Please respect copyright.PENANA3d97T1oFAX
