six feet under my head

Nate: What about you saying that things happen that leave marks... in people, in space, in time?

Brenda: Yeah thats physics. Energy affecting matter. Talking to dead people is delusional.

Nate: So you definitely don't believe in any kind of a life after death?

Brenda: I think people live on through the people they love, and the things they do with their lives.. if they manage to do things with their lives.

Nate: But that's it, that's it? That's all there is, there's nothing more, there's nothing like bigger?

Brenda: Just energy.

Nate: But there's no plan, no-

Brenda: No, there's definetely no plan. Just survival. Should I have ordered the salmon?

Nate: Uh, I dont know. How can you live like that? I mean, what if you found out you were gonna die tomorrow?

Brenda: I've been prepared to die tomorrow since I was six years old.

Nate: Really?

Brenda: Yeah, pretty much. We never got butter.

Nate: Well why since you were six?

Brenda: Because I read a report on the effect nuclear war would have on the world and it was pretty clear to me at that point that this was definitely gonna happen.

Nate: When you were six?

Brenda: And I wake up every day pretty much surprised that um.. everything is still here.

Nate: Well I dont understand how you can live like that.

Brenda: Well I thought we all did.
