    "You've said that before, haven't you? I only ask because that's the same excuse your mom gave me this morning."

    Everything's dead.

    Everything.

    You, my mother, your mother, - every - single - living - thing - on - this - planet.

    Make whatever insulting comments you will, you're still dead.

    Welcome to reality.
