Boris: Ah, I see that you two are hard at work.
Solies: No, Emma is just being morbid and drafting her tombstone.
Boris: Planning ahead. Very efficient. He reads "Emmaline : Dead." I like that you are clearly labelled.

Solies: For anyone who might wander by and think that you were only partially dead.
Boris: Or undead.
Emma: Do you think that will be a problem?
Boris: Where I come from, yes, is sometimes problem.
