*'''Thomas Lasky''': "I'm not apologizing." | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Yes you are." | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': ''(repeating Silva)'' "At least I believe in something?" | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "I do believe in something." | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "Yeah, so do I." | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Like what?" | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "Just...not in stupid orders that lead to needless violence." | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Negotiating isn't an option anymore Tom." | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "So we're brainwashing kids and then sending them in to exterminate a bunch of overtaxed farmers." | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Farmers? That's what you think they are? You have no idea what the Innies are like." | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "I have a pretty good idea." | |||
''Lasky turns away.'' | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Well then you should know how much they hate us and that they're not going to stop fighting until we're all dead." | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "Can you blame them?" | |||
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Yeah...I can, I blame them for a lot of things. And you should too." | |||

*'''Cadmon Lasky''': "Uh...staying safe, doing my job." | |||
''Thomas takes out a box and takes out a chess board. Thomas begins to place different kinds of bullets and shotgun shells on the board as pieces.'' | |||
*'''Cadmon Lasky''': "I just wanted to remind you to do your job. Oh, and by the way, nice checkmate bro, yet again. Okay, new game. Your move. And hang in there, I know it's tough with mom being gone all the time, being alone. She loves you, so do I. Miss you buddy" | |||
''Video message ends.'' | |||
*'''Thomas Lasky''': "Miss you too." | |||
*'''Urlin''': "Lights out. Doors closing." | |||
''The lights go out, and the doors close. Thomas gets in his bed and stares at the [[Forward Unto Dawn (poem)|poem]] inscribed above him.'' | |||
