Ellie: We're lost, aren't we?

Tom: Ellie, we're not lost. Just... I don't think we're on the right path

Ellie: Which means we're lost

Tom:(sighs) Yes

Ellie: Maybe Noel, knows the way

Tom: I highly doubt it

Ellie:(gasps) Are you saying, you're noble horse got us lost?

Tom: No, I got us lost. Just hush, okay? Making me lose my train of thought

Ellie: Okay

Tommy smiles and Ellie lays her chin on his shoulder as they come up on some cars

Tom: Look, cars. Now we're getting somewhere

Ellie doesn't respond

Tom: Ellie?

Ellie: You told me to "hush" so I'm hushing

Tom: My God. You can speak now

Ellie: Ooh, cars! (points) Look, Tommy!

Tommy chuckles and shakes his head before leaning back to kiss her

Tom: Big goof. I love you

Ellie: And I love you, too

She smiles and nuzzles into his neck, happy that he's doing a bit better

They ride through the cars until they stop at a bungalow. Tommy hops off wanting to check 

Tom: Stick with him

Ellie: You got it

Tommy climbs into the bungalow and finds a superhero card

Tom: Got another superhero card!

Ellie: If you could have one superpower

Tom: Hm. Either invisibility or teleportation

Ellie: Invisibility. To spy on me?

Tom: Why would I need to spy on what's in front of me? Even I wanted to see you naked, I just join you in the shower, or have on of our fun nights... I think I'd use invisibility to scare people

Ellie:(giggles) So naughty~ Okay, why teleportation?

Tom: That, I don't have answer for. Just seems cool, I guess

He pockets the card and finds a map

Tom: Sweet

He hops back out to Ellie

Ellie: Got anything else, hon?

Tom: Yes. Here

He hands her the map as she scoots back

Tom: Should make it easier

Ellie: Nice. So you do know where you're going

Tom: Can't believe you doubted me

Ellie: Hey, you said we were lost

Tom: I was joking!

Ellie: Uh-huh

Tommy blows a raspberry

Ellie: You love me so much

Tom: Can't say I don't

He said hopping back on and Ellie clings onto him tightly as they ride past a small waterfall

Tom: It's quiet. Too quiet

Ellie: Yeah, it's scary. Think about how well we hide our lookouts

Tom: Yeah

They ride through the woods and come up on a big gate

Ellie: Whoa. Is that the QZ?

Tom: Yeah. Watch high

Ellie:(reads markings) "WLF. Trespassers killed on sight"

Tom: I hate these guys already. Just Fireflies but more annoying
