- Sophon: But why is one afraid while the other is not? Do individuals experience fear on their own?
- Mike Evans: It's an individual emotion, yes.
- Sophon: For us, fear is something we experience as one.
- Mike Evans: Our ancestors were like that.
- Sophon: Tiny mammals who survived by hiding. But it appears you have ceased to be afraid.
- Mike Evans: Why do you say that?
- Sophon: You contacted another planet. Is this the act of a timid species?
- Mike Evans: Not a species. No, my Lord. A woman. A singular, fearless woman.
- Sophon: Are there other fearless humans?
- Mike Evans: Well, they show up from time to time. And we often look up to them as inspirations for others to follow.
- Sophon: A lack of fear leads to extinction. If your ancestors had followed the fearless, you would not exist. Humanity must learn to fear again.
- Mike Evans: Then we will teach them.
- Will Downing: Yeah. We had a lovely chat while I was under.
- Jack Rooney: We?
- Will Downing: Yeah, me and the cancer.
- Jack Rooney: Oh right. Is that a... Is that a metaphor?
- Will Downing: No. No, we spoke. It turns out that the cancer's not inherently evil, right?
- [slurring]
- Will Downing: It's just... It's actually just looking for a place to live. Like we all are, I suppose. With its children. Which is fair enough, but obviously, I said, "That's not all right with me."
- [laughing]
- Will Downing: "I'm using my body at the moment." "Can't just move in." So anyways, we made a... a deal. It gets to stay in its own little corner in my pancreas, and I keep all the rest.
