from The Road ...

Old Man: I knew this was coming.

The Man: You knew it was coming?

Old Man: Yeah. This or something like it. I always believed in it.

The Man: Did you try to get ready for it?

Old Man: No. What would you do?

The Man: I don't know.

Old Man: People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.

The Man: I guess not.

Old Man: Even if you knew what to do you wouldn't know what to do. You wouldn't know if you wanted to do it or not. Suppose you were the last one left? Suppose you did that to yourself?

The Man: Do you wish you would die?

Old Man: No. But I might wish I had died. When you're alive you've always got that ahead of you.

The Man: Or you might wish you'd never been born.

Old Man: Well. Beggars cant be choosers.

The Man: You think that would be asking too much.

Old Man: What's done is done. Anyway, it's foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these.

The Man: I guess so.

Old Man: Nobody wants to be here and nobody wants to leave.
