• Tracey : When we die they put us into the ground, and slugs eat us, of course, and then we disappear. And then we don't exist any more.

  Nathan : Nobody can be sure of that either. But you know, I believe one thing. Want me to tell you?

  Tracey : Mm-hmm.

  Nathan : I think just because we die, doesn't mean we don't exist anymore. Maybe we exist someplace else. And you know why I think that?

  Tracey : [no] 

  Nathan : When you see a boat vanish - have you ever seen a boat vanish on the horizon? When a boat disappears in the distance, it vanishes. But does that mean it doesn't exist anymore?

  Tracey : No.

  Nathan : Right. I believe dying is like that. It's like a boat vanishing on the horizon. Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
