“Holy shit!”

“What are we going do to?”

“Run!”

“Come on, we need to hurry!”

“I can’t do this.”

“We’re not gonna make it.”

“I-I can’t-“

“What am I supposed to do?”

“I’m gonna be sick…”

“Fuck!”

“We’re running out of time…”

“You made it. Wanna tell me how?” “Badly, then gradually less badly.”

“Confidence is good.” “Then I’m doing great!” “Overconfidence is not.”

“I taught you better than that.” “You didn’t show me though.”

“And what did you learn from you little stunt?” “That consequences come faster than I can run.”

“You seem nervous.” “I’m trying a new strategy called ‘caring too much.’”

“You’re getting better.” “Don’t sound so surprised.”

“Are you even listening?” “Oh, totally. I’m just… deciding right now what to try and remember.”

“You need to learn patience.” “Is there a faster way to get it?”

“Mistakes happen.” “Excellent, because I made several.”
