TROY

BELLA

TROY

(10 second pause)
BELLA
oh, but that won't work.
TROY

BELLA

for reasons i haven't yet pinpointed bella considers marty to be quite youthful, a peer almost, and she views me as having about twelve minutes left to live. given the frequency of her premonitions regarding my longevity, i hope this is just a childish misperception on her part and not some form of insider data.
