'A lot of people would disagree with you.'
'What if they decide wrong, though?'
'Fine like it's fine, or fine like it hurts like hell but you don't want to complain?'
'Ugh. Do I need to kill him?'
'Good job today, __. Don't know what I did without you.'
'You were with me the whole time.'
'Don't look at me, I just work here.'
'Shit. Do you think we found... I don't know, part of the Underground Railroad or something?'
'There was an abandoned mental hospital in the town I grew up in. We used to get high and go sneak into it.'
'Oh, that place was creepy as hell. Peeling linoleum and weird rings on the wall and empty elevator shafts. Plus it was totally haunted by dead inmates.'
'Maybe there was a shit ton of black mold in the crawl space and we're both lying on the floor hallucinating.'
'If we're both hallucinating, then we might as well keep going.'
'I'm being very calm about this. I want you to notice that.'
'Im getting really invested in the black-mold thing.'
'Yeah but then you changed your answer, so now I have to change mine.'
'Take it up with the black mold. I'm just a hallucination, remember?'
'Come on, there's a hallway that can't exist and a giant locked door at the end. Do you want to get eaten by monsters or open a portal to hell or whatever?'
'Come on, let's go back to __ and I'll make us Irish coffees and we'll discuss this like people who don't die in the first five minutes of a horror movie.'
'I thought we were gonna get eaten by brain goblins or something.'
'You thinking black magic or aliens?'
'Why does it have to be black magic? Can't it be neutral magic? Magic with no significant moral imperative?'
'Obvously I want to, I just feel like one of us should say 'Don't go in there'!'
