Six Feet Under - The Plan
-
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.
