Context

Text

Joey: Can we stay here? Just us. Until we dissolve.

Piper: No, Joey, that’s insane.

Joey: It’s not! Why? Because it’s not the plan? You just said you miss unplanned for things.

Piper: Because it’s suicide, dumbass. Suicide is insane.

Joey: Going back is suicide! People die down there! Out here who knows? We can call it what we want. It’s only insane because you’re not thinking about it for real.

Piper: I’m not done down there, Joey! You can’t decide this for both of us.

Joey: I can’t go back there.

Piper: Drop me off and come back if you have to. I’m going home and opening my Hanukkah presents.

Joey: That’s not what I mean. Piper, stay with me. Up here.

Piper: Joey, no. You’re not worth it.

Joey: There’s nothing down there.

Piper: Joey. There’s nothing up here. Maybe you think there’s nothing down there for you, but it’s just a scientific fact that there is nothing up here. For either of us.

Pause. Joey opens his mouth. Pause.

Piper: Joey? Pop a Xanex. We’re going home.

Piper floats away, leaving Joey alone.
