Nyles... I need you for survival, *comma*, but this is so much more than that
[pause]
Nyles-*colon* - I know you better than anyone knows you, and that day we saw the dinosaurs, you said to really know a person you have to see their entire package, the good and the bad. Well, you've see mine, and I've seen yours, and you have an excellent package. *Ampersand* you're my favorite person I've ever met, and, yes, it seems like crazy odds that a person I'd meet stuck in a time loop would end up being my favorite person, but you know what else has crazy odds? Getting stuck in a fucking time loop. *Dot dot dot*...
NylesYes, ellipses, thank you. *Ellipses*, I hope blowing ourselves up works, but if it doesn't, it's irrelevant for me, as long as I'm with you. And if it kills us... Well, Sarah Isabel Wilder, I'd rather die with you than live in this world without you, *emphatic period*.

NylesI felt everything I'll ever feel. So I'll never feel ever again.

JerryGood day so far?
NylesToday, tomorrow, yesterday, it's all the same.
NylesWe're already sick of each other. It's the best.

Nyles[giving his wedding speech]Here you are, standing on the precipice of something so much bigger than anyone here. But always remember, you are not alone.
NylesI don't know what it is. It could be life, it could be death. It might be a dream, I might be imagining you, you might be imagining me, it could be purgatory, or a glitch in the simulation that we're both in. I don't know. So, I decided a while ago to sort of... give up and stop trying to make sense of things altogether, because, the only way to really live in this is to embrace the fact that nothing matters.
SarahOh my God, Nyles. So you, you're... you are saying that out there in the real world, with millions of other people to choose from, you would still choose me?
NylesYeah. But why would I want to go back there anyway, you know. It's a world of death and poverty, and debilitating emotional distress. At least in here, we get to be together.
NylesIs that so bad? That's what love is all about! Don't be so afraid of it.

NylesThe pain is real. Why can't you understand that?
SarahIt doesn't matter! Nothing matters, right? Those are your words.
NylesNo. Pain matters. What we do to other people matters. Being a source of terror is not fun, okay? It's not fulfilling. I know this from experience. It doesn't matter that everything resets and people don't remember. WE remember. We have to deal with the things that we do.
SarahI knew it wasn't going to work. I knew it wasn't going to work out the moment that I said yes. I knew it wasn't going to work out when I moved to Austin for him. I knew it wasn't going to work out when I walked down the aisle. But... I went through with it. And it didn't work out. Now... ignoring all that, would make me destined to repeat it.

Daisy the BartenderHere are the drinks you didn't pick up from the bar.
NylesThank you! I always get an extra one. Save myself a trip.
SarahNo, you don't actually know what you're talking about. We. You. Me. Everyone. Everyone we know. Nobody can stand the idea of being alone. So we... buy into this pageantry and celebrate its... bullshit.
SarahYeah. What if it's like, to get out of this, you have to be selfless, and then you're free.
NylesI just bought a hundred dollar candy bar, and I'm still here.
SarahYeah, but not like that. Like real acts of selflessness, like the bone marrow shit that Tala does. Look, what if, oh my God... What if life just keeps going for everyone else here but not you and me until we've earned our way out? You've really never thought about this before?
NylesYeah, no, I've never thought about the multiverse.

SarahHow do I stop it? I don't want tomorrow to be today. I want tomorrow to be tomorrow.
NylesRight. That's natural. Uh, unfortunately, that's never gonna happen. Tomorrow will always and forever now be... today.
