Emily: So, this is about Dee. Did you... get any bad feelings about him, or anything?
Markus: Uhh... why? He seemed fine to me?
Zoe: Are you afraid of dying?
Markus: Huh!?

Markus: I don't know, I don't remember that at all!
Zoe: Hmm. Who knows. He's probably fine.
Emily: Huh, okay. So: Markus. The thing is: Dee... is Death.
Markus: ... Sorry, say that again?
Emily: He's the grim reaper. I've known him since my mum died.
Markus: ...
Abe (emerging from behind a tree): WHAT! Are you kidding me!
