Give me that fiver back?

No, you twat. Something else. Other than this.

Other than what?

This. Something other than this.

You?re fucked.

I think I might well be. With my life, I mean, something other than this with my life.

Oh. That.

I had to do all this stuff, man, all this really fucking great stuff. I had to do so much and make so much and really touch people with all this shit that I did, you know? I was meaning to do that.

Nothing, I don?t think. I tried. I did stuff. I do stuff, but not how I was really meant to. I seem to have lost track. I seem to have forgotten what all that cool shit actually was, that I?m meant to be doing, you know?

You?re not dead, Dave. Do it tomorrow.

But what? Do what?

Take over the world, or whatever.

I?m not sure that I can, anymore.

Yeah. World?s pretty big.
