"Where are you going with your life? Here, do you see this? This is my life. ...If I am alive in twenty-nineteen, this is what I will be doing. It does not matter who else is alive at that time. It does not matter if I am the only one alive at that time. It does not matter if I am limbless, sightless, whatever. This is what I will be doing."
"...This is a chart of thoughts."
"These are thoughts that need to be thought out."
"What is this column of numbers?"
"The mythical birth of some hippie in a desert is not the beginning of time for me. This system begins time from the date of my first recorded thought, which corresponds to nineteen-eighty-eight in this Christian system."
"...This goes on for a hundred years. Do you think you're going to live to a hundred and thirty?"
"If I am alive in twenty-one-oh-eight, this is what I will be doing. I don't know if I will be alive in twenty-one-oh-eight, and I don't know if I'll be alive in twenty-oh-nine, but if I am, this is what I will be doing."
"...You think so differently from other people."
"I think. I wonder whether other people think."
"You are such an asshole."
"I plainly am not and cannot be certain whether other people think."
"Because you are a solipsist."
"Because I am the Solipsist. Logic concludes that there is only one for certain."
She was crying again.
