This is a set of dialogue that I plan to use, but I just had to get it off my chest... here it be!
--------------------------------------------
"Craig..." Amelia said, "Why are we here?"
Craig took his cigarette out of his mouth and said, "Yeah, that really is the number one question these days, isn't it? First people ask why we are alive. Why are we here? Do we have a purpose? Then they ask, 'if we are here to live, then why do we die in such simple and often stupid ways?' How is it that we die? We get some kind of damage to our bodies that causes it to stop functioning? If all of the material is still there, then what's the problem? We still die... Then we ask how life works. What makes us move around and percieve our surroundings? Why do we need to percieve our surroundings? Is there danger? Why is there such a thing as danger if we all are here to live? Then we ask once again, 'how do we live?' What promps all of the chemicals in our bodies to work in such ways that they can allow us to think and move? What initiative do tiny particles of some such molecular makeup have to move to move at all? Everything ultimately comes down to the question, 'Why do things exist at all?' Why this? Why not be in an endless abyss of black? The thing is, we'll never know, anyway. These questions are just another thing to keep us living things occupied..."
