Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It’s nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. There’s nobody up here that can hurt you. It’s safe. I mean, what’s the point of going on? What’s the point of living? Your kid died. Doesn’t get any rougher than that. But still, it’s a matter of what you do now. If you decide to go, then you gotta just get on with it. Sit back, enjoy the ride. You gotta plant both your feet on the ground and start livin’ life. Hey, Ryan? It’s time to go home.

I know, we’re all gonna die. Everybody knows that. But I’m going to die today. Funny that… you know, to know. But the thing is, is that I’m still scared. Really scared. Nobody will mourn for me, no one will pray for my soul. Will you mourn for me? Will you say a prayer for me? Or is it too late… ah, I mean I’d say one for myself but I’ve never prayed in my life. Nobody ever taught me how… nobody ever taught me how…

C’mon Matt, talk to me. Tell me where you are, give me your position. Where are you? Give me a visual, tell me what you see. C’mon, you’ve been yammering since we left Cape Canaveral, *now* you decide to shut up? Talk to me! Just say something, say anything, I don’t care!

Hey, Matt? Since I had to listen to endless hours of your storytelling this week, I need you to do me a favor. You’re gonna see a little girl with brown hair. Very messy, lots of knots. She doesn’t like to brush it. But that’s okay. Her name is Sarah. Can you please tell her that mama found her red shoe? She was so worried about that shoe, Matt. But it was just right under the bed. Give her a big hug and a big kiss from me and tell her that mama misses her. Tell her that she is my angel. And she makes me so proud. So, so proud. And you tell her that I’m not quitting. You tell her that I love her, Matt. You tell her that I love her so much. Can you do that for me? Roger that.

Matt, do you have visual on just what Mission Specialist Shariff is doing up there?

He appears to be doing some form of the Macarena or that would be just a best guess scenario on my part.

You’re losing altitude fast, Tiangong. You keep dropping and you’re going to kiss the atmosphere. But not without me, because you’re my last ride.
– Ryan Stone
You just point the damned thing at Earth. It’s not rocket science.
– Matt Kowalski
No, no, no, Houston, don’t be anxious. Anxiety is bad for the heart.
– Shariff
I know I’m devastatingly good looking but you gotta stop staring at me.
