He doesn’t see another living person all day.
None of this is normal, of course.
He’s not quite the same as he was when he went away.
Other things are not the way he remembers them.
This is the way he remembers the place.
It’s the only sensible response.
Inside, everything is quiet.
She does it again, and again, and again.
Plenty of time to go on as before.
Forward planning has never been my strong point.
Everyone believed my story.
I was quite alone.
I have problems of my own.
And then things started to change.
When we first came here, that’s all there was.
It’ll be a nice change for both of you.
Our whole presence out here is the result of an accident.
We’re scavengers, of course, wandering here and there looking for some useful thing.

I mean, it’s not as if you have anything better to do today, is it, Jim..?
Prophets have a short shelf-life.
And that was how I was going to stay.
I was a nobody, a little ant scraping away at the soil.
And right there and then I lost the faith, and I never got it back.
I don’t owe you anything at all.
I didn’t want to stop anyway.

Gone Fishin’
Everyone felt pretty good.
I think you’re crazy, if you want the honest truth.
I’m not going to give up.
