"That's alright, it's probably too late for all this anyway."
"What?"
"You know how in cartoons how a building gets hit with a wrecking ball, right before the building falls down, there's always this moment where it's perfectly still, right before it collapses. We're in that moment, the wrecking ball has already hit, all of this, and this is just the moment before it all falls down."
"Is that the official word?"
"No, it's just my gut feeling."
