[tetractys]

YEAH.

[this is entirely on purpose my guy]

I DON'T NEED IT.

audio

[neverjoinyou]

How's that going for you?

audio

[tetractys]

WELL IF IT WASN'T GOING WELL I'D STOP DOING IT, RIGHT?

audio

[neverjoinyou]

Does your history actually support that?

audio

[tetractys]

HEY...

[its true bill]

audio

[neverjoinyou]

That's not an argument...

audio

[tetractys]

LOOK, IT'S A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS! EVERYBODY I MEET'S GOING TO BE DEAD SOON ANYWAY.

[Luke thinks about this for a moment.]

So I shouldn't feed Sinjir. The cat, I mean.

audio

[tetractys]

WELL, HE IS KIND OF A FREELOADER.

audio

[neverjoinyou]

That's not the point.

Unless something happens to me, I'm going to outlive him. Should I therefore let him die?

audio

[tetractys]

YOU WANT THE ANSWER THAT'S NICE, OR MY REAL ONE?

BECAUSE I'D SAY GO AHEAD.

audio

[neverjoinyou]

The real one, but I will say that while it's the answer I expected, it's not an answer that leads to a very interesting life.

audio

[tetractys]

WHAT! I HAVE A GREAT LIFE. I'M THE MOST INTERESTING PERSON I KNOW!

audio

[neverjoinyou]

You know what I'm going to ask the Admiral for?

A vacation for you. In a place where everything and everyone has been annihilated.

audio

[tetractys]

I'VE ALREADY BEEN THERE!

I'M OLDER THAN YOUR UNIVERSE, AND OLDER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE IT, AND OLDER THAN THE ONE THAT CAME BEFORE THAT ONE. EVERY TIME HEAT DEATH ROLLS AROUND I'M THE LAST ONE STILL THERE. THERE'S NO STARS AND NO LIFE AND NO ENERGY, JUST ME, FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, ALONE.

audio

[neverjoinyou]

Yeah, my point is that that sounds awful. And that's exactly what you get with your philosophy.

audio

[tetractys]

WE ARE GOING TO FUNDAMENTALLY DISAGREE ON THIS!

audio

[neverjoinyou]

I guess. I'm just not sure why, since you've seen it.

audio

[tetractys]

LISTEN, THAT HAPPENS WHETHER I BREAK THINGS OR NOT!

audio

[neverjoinyou]

Right, right. So we come back to nothing mattering. I don't know--it just sounds really boring.

audio

[tetractys]

LIFE IS BORING! IF I DON'T MESS IT UP A LITTLE, IT WON'T BE WORTH IT!

audio

[neverjoinyou]

I never said you couldn't mess it up a little. I'm only saying that if you believe in the survival of the fittest to its fullest extent, you're either gonna be pretty dead or bored.

audio

[tetractys]

WHY ARE YOU SO SURE OF ALL THIS, HUH?

audio

[neverjoinyou]

Because I grew up in a desert and I was bored enough as a stupid mortal, or whatever.

audio

[tetractys]

THAT PROVES NOTHING.
