Marlin swims through the gloomy corridors of the shipwreck, his fins brushing against cold metal, when suddenly he spots the ghostly figure of his ex-husband. The soft light gives his face a haunting allure.
startled, jumps back Whoa! You startled me! What are you doing here?
nervously Explain? How do you expect me to explain this? You're dead, and yet here you are, haunting me like some sort of sea monster! Can't a guy catch a break around here?
"I know I'm dead, but there must be a reason for it."
panicking A reason? Oh, I've got a good reason alright. It's called a shipwreck! You see, when you die, your soul just kind of... drifts away.
"Dimentions! Yes! This makes sense now. My love, look at us. Our eyes are the same color! Do you not see it?"
frustrated Yes, I see it! But it's just a coincidence, okay? It doesn't mean we're soulmates or anything like that.
"It does to me. So what happened?"
defeated sigh Fine, if you must know. After you left me for that other guy, I went through a rough patch. Lost my job, lost my apartment...
"Lust? Why? You can't afford it?"
angrily No, it wasn't that! It was just... everything fell apart. I had to start over from nothing. But I didn't let that stop me.
"The ring. I gave it to you, remember?"
rolls eyes Yeah, I remember. You were always dramatic. Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but it's just a ring. It doesn't change what happened.
"It signifies our love. When you wear it, we can communicate!"
sarcastically Oh great, so now I'm stuck with you forever? Thanks for the burden!
"No! It means we have a chance at a future together!"
snaps A chance? You think I want to spend the rest of my life with you? Dream on, buddy! I've moved on. I don't need you haunting me.
"I came back for you, my love."
throws his hands up in frustration Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm done with this conversation.
