[door opens] [door closes] [wind blows] -Do you want to go somewhere with me?
[silence] -Yes.
[bench creaks] -I can't help but notice you're trying to avoid me.
I thought you might want to talk.
-You brought me to my grandma's funeral to talk?
-Yes.
I thought it would be constructive.
[bench creaks] -Did I make you feel bad?
-No, I'm fine.
It's just weird.
-Because it's sad?
-Because it's my grandma's funeral.
-And that's sad?
It's fine.
We don't have to talk.
[bench creaks] -I want to go now.
[wind blows] [car beeps] [car engine starts] -You can drive?
[seatbelt clicks] [car drives] [squeaking] -It's hurtful to insinuate someone can't drive.
-Oh, I was just confused because you were flying and teleporting around everywhere.
-I enjoy driving.
[radio clicks] [radio static] -Are you hollow?
Do you have stuff inside you?
-I don't know.
I think there must be some stuff inside of me.
-Oh.
Probably, yes.
Probably peanuts.
-People usually cry at funerals.
Why didn't you?
-You don't know if I did.
-I do.
-You should be looking at the road.
-Sorry, I'm just curious.
I guess some people don't cry, but you haven't cried.
-Maybe I'm waiting for the right moment.
[fingers tap] -Can you just look at the road?
You're supposed to look at the road.
[gasps] -Why are you here?
I know I'm freaky looking and big and probably hollow, but you can talk to me.
You should talk to me.
I'm an active listener, and I'm listening actively right now.
You seem hurt by this terrible thing, and that's normal, but you're alone now, so you should just try and tell me how you're feeling.
Maybe I can help you find some peace.
[wind blows] [car drives] -We're running out of gas.
[car indicator clicks] [car stops] [keys jangle] -Now there should be some cash in the glove compartment if you can find it.
I don't think they take card here.
[car door closes] [card machine beeps] [seatbelt unclicks] -Don't worry.
The card worked.
