[and Peter reaches down to pick it up and toss it into the box]

[skepticalities]

. . . huh.

[THE BOGGART IS STARTLED. THE BOGGART DECIDES TO HIDE INSIDE THE BOX]

[skepticalities]

. . .

Success?

[onlyoneof]

[closes the box]

I should label it.

[skepticalities]

That wouldn't be a bad idea.

[onlyoneof]

[sits once the box is safely closed]

[skepticalities]

[onlyoneof]

... we really should talk.

[skepticalities]

There's nothing to talk about at this point.

[onlyoneof]

... I think there is.

[skepticalities]

I said my piece and you said yours.

[onlyoneof]

... I don't think I can give you what you want.

[skepticalities]

. . .

[onlyoneof]

And I think we should talk about that.

[skepticalities]

What else is there to say?

[onlyoneof]

There is a lot on my end.

I don't want to give anything up. I... the past year has been hell on me. Outside camp, and now I just want to hold on to what I have. And what I have here, now, tangible is you. So I've held on to you, but we're not going to be here forever, and I think-- I don't know. I figure you think more about what we'll do once we get out. Houses and schools, and how you'll balance work with soccer practice.

I don't know. I... didn't. Hadn't thought about any of that until last night. My idea of the future is not very bright, I know I'll have a few years and then I'm going to war again. And it's not...

[rubs the back of his neck, sighing]

I don't think there's an after camp for us.

[skepticalities]

. . .

We don't know that.

[onlyoneof]

... not with any sort of certainty, but unless I can somehow prevent the invasion or-- I don't know, travel back in time again. You know my priority will be to fight them, and your priority will be Jack. And if there is a war and the other universe isn't involved, I think you should take him there instead.

[skepticalities]

What are you trying to say?

[onlyoneof]

That if our world is going to be invaded in four years, it's really not a good idea to start raising a child in it.
