Hannah Baker: It's a giant f*cking universe.
Clay Jensen: It is a giant universe.
Hannah Baker: Like, how are we supposed to do anything significant? Anything that means anything? We're not even dots.
Clay Jensen: But, somehow, every day feels like life or death, right? Even though, at some level, it also feels like nothing matters at all.
Hannah Baker: Or means anything.
Clay Jensen: And, like, in a real way, we're all just accidents of birth, you know? Like, it's just dumb luck that we're not having this conversation somewhere much worse than this basement. Like, some shantytown in South Asia, or the frozen north of Iceland, or a burning desert in Africa.
Hannah Baker: But that's it. We are exactly who we are, in this moment, in this place, and I think that matters. Because without you, without me, everything is different.
