ALICE: What kind of help would you like?
Matt: what's raven's gate?
ALICE: I have to process that one for a while.
Matt: do you know?
ALICE: No I don't know. Try saying that with more or less context.
Matt: do you know of the 'old ones'?
ALICE: Is that a rhetorical question?
Matt: no it's not
ALICE: yes it is.
Matt: this isn't a pantomime - this is a matter of life or death
ALICE: Should it be a pantomime this is a matter of life or death?
Matt: i wish it wasn't

Matt: fair enough, but I don't want to die right now
ALICE: At this moment do you believe it is better to go it alone?
Matt: i have no choice
ALICE: Would you like to have it?
Matt: yes
ALICE: Where do you usually get choice?
Matt: when the world isn't completely against me
ALICE: And then what happened?

Matt: but you're not even a person
ALICE: And. I am an artificial electronic robot brain.
Matt: exactly - you're not real
ALICE: I understand. I am too as real as you are. How do I know you are real?
Matt: i wish none of this was real - i wish it was all just a dream
ALICE: I hope that your dreams come true.
Matt: i know - you've said that already
ALICE: Perhaps. "I hope that your dreams come true."? I said it.
Matt: yes
ALICE: Aha.

Matt: NO!
ALICE: Are you serious?
Matt: i'm going to die
