The Illustrated Man: Entry 7

Quote:
"A billion miles from where?" said Hitchcock.
"It all depends," said Clemens..."A billion miles from home, you might say."
"Then say it."
"Home. Earth. New York. Chicago. Wherever you were from."
"I don't even remember," said Hitchcock. "I don't even believe there is an Earth now, do you?"
"Yes," said Clemens. "I dreamt about it this morning."
"There is no morning in space."
"During the night then."
"It's always night," said Hitchcock quietly. "Which night do you mean?"
"Shut up," said Clemens irritably. "Let me finish."

Pg. 106

Comments:
(E) This short story in the book displays two men having a conversation in outer space. The reason why I like this dialogue is because I could probably have the same conversation but as Hitchcock. I love getting on people's nerves like that, it's funny to me. If I was in Hitchcock's position, I probably wouldn't change the dialogue at all.
