Ray: come on lets go
Chris: What?
Ray: (looks confused) What do you mean what?
Chris: Do you know where were going?
Ray: (Smiling and laughing) No
Chris: Right well we can get to-
Ray: Chris (goes over to him and places his hands on his shoulders) lets just, not think about where we're going. (Chris looks to him for something else to say) Focus on where we should be, but that place is not in your head. (He begins to straighen Chris' jacket) The journey my friend is all that we need to worry about, not the conclusion.
Chris: but why-
Ray: Because why the hell not? (smiling) We've given up our time for this. We've let ourselves manifest into this symbol of bravery and we must imbrace it. Do you not see?
Chris: What?
Ray: We going up. (slaps his sholders and picks up his rucksack. Gazes at Chris)
Chris: You waiting on me?-
Ray: Yeah (smiles)
(Chris picks up his rucksack aswell and looks at this path that has been laid out before him by the Narator whilst they have been talking. A thin, blanket of beige and crumpled leaves scatter across it. The piece of fabric goes from one end of the stage to the other. Chris starts to go one way, looks at Ray and then goes the other. Off stage. Lights go down)
