[Cutscene script]

[Animus Island, in front of the gate into the Black Room]

Desmond: 16?

Clay (lying on the ground, as if sleeping, jerks up, head looking at him, as he speaks): [i]Desmond[/i], think about this. (sits up, looking at him, a little crazed, but calming a little as he motioned with his left hand, right holding him up in a sitting position) What if... I went with you?

Desmond (stepping closer hesitantly): With me? Where?

Clay (sits up, knees up, right arm draped over right knee, excited, still with his slightly crazed look): It [i]could[/i] work. Just for a while. Until I found a way out. Another [i]body[/i] maybe. Or... (lowers right leg and arm, left arm holding his head for a bit before draping over his left knee) I don't know. I just... (shaking a little, the crazy look coming back for a moment) I don't want to [i]be[/i] here anymore. (looks down, staring into space)

Desmond (stepping back nervously): That's... (nervous chuckle) That's... not going to happen. I'm sorry.

Clay: [i]No[/i]... (half-mad giggle) I guess I had my chance. (lies back on the ground again)And I wasted it. (rocks back and forth, and disappears in his customary flash of coding)
