We could lie here forever.
I could, easily.
Because I won't move first.
Let's play dead. Lie very, very still.
Till someone calls mercy.
I'll win. I always win.
I can out-stubborn you.
Because we can't lie here forever.
But I won't move. Not until you do.
And I'll still lie here wishing you hadn't.
It makes me think.
Could we lie here forever?
Do you move for the sake of the world around us?
Someone has to call it a day.
Before it starts to get ridiculous.
Before they start to miss us.
I question your commitment to lying here forever.
Wasn't that the plan?
No. No, you move.
You move because I won't.
I'll call you the strong one.
I'll wish we could lie here forever.
We'll try again tomorrow.
