Margaret : Are you okay?
Greta : It's a relative term.
Margaret : I thought we'd have so much more time.
Greta : I know. But you will be all right.
Margaret : I don't know. I don't know if I can do this.
Greta : Listen to me, because I'm old and I know things. It's true that we're losing time every day, all the time, until one day it's all gone. But you're gaining it, too. Every second, perfect moments, one after the other, until, by the end, you have your whole life. You have everything. And it costs you everything. But it's worth it. I promise that it's worth it.

Mark : Hi, uh... I'm Mark. I, uh, just had a quick question.
Margaret : OK.
Mark : I was wondering... This is going to sound really strange, really bizarre, but are you experiencing any kind of temporal anomaly in your life?
[pause]
Mark : By temporal anomaly I mean...
Margaret : I know what a temporal anomaly is.
Mark : OK, great. So what specifically I was wondering is...
Margaret : ...the thing where the same day keeps happening?
[Nods]
Mark : Woah!

Mark : It's great, being the only one who knows what's going to come next, but it's also... weird. Like everything that's happened has happened, like, a thousand times. Everyone is, like, sleepwalking. They think this is all there is.
Margaret : Yeah. Like everyone else is dreaming, and you're the only one who's awake.
Mark : Exactly.

Margaret : Mark, look at yourself. You're a nerd who sucks at math. Where does that leave you?... So, the first thing you need to know about math is that it's always perfect.
