Transcript
In a laboratory, Matthew works at a counter as Elias stands nearby. Elias: “...What a shame, really.” Elias: “Anyway.” Matthew looks at an old photograph of Elias and a gray-haired man standing together beside a sign reading “WESTHAVEN ADVANCED SYSTEMS 2004.” Matthew: “Whoa...” Matthew: “...You two were friends?” Elias: “Once.” Elias: “Yeah, Banks... that was a lifetime ago.” Elias: “He wasn't always like this.” Elias: “Hell of a mind.” Elias: “What a shame, really.” Elias pats Matthew on the shoulder. Elias: “Anyway. Let's not get lost in the past.” Elias: “You know what, kid? Finish up in here and take the rest of the day off.” Elias: “Go enjoy yourself.” Matthew: “...” Matthew: “For real?” Matthew: “...Paid?” Elias: “Yes, paid.” Matthew: “Are you dying?” Elias: “Banks. Just go enjoy yourself. I'll see you tomorrow.” Matthew: “...That was weird.”
