In the aquarium, Rory is looking at toys, just as David, who has a bandage wrapped around his wrist and a paper note in his left hand, walks in.
David: Rory....will you please quit touching my stuff? Please.
Rory turns to David.
Rory: I'm sorry. There's no sign that says "David's stuff".
David: Yeah, well this is my aquarium. My stuff.
Rory looks down and laughs.
David: I'm just kidding. Take whatever you want....
Rory shakes her head.
David: I suck with jokes.
Rory nods.
Rory: Definitely...
Rory looks at David's bandage on his arm.
Rory: You hurt yourself yesterday getting food?
David looks down at his bandage.
David: Yeah....
Rory: You didn't let Hannah treat it? She told me you took some medical supplies and did it yourself.
David: Yeah...just...didn't want her to worry...So, um, you're coming to Fort Lauderdale, right?
David raises the paper in his hands.
David: Cause I've written down radio coordinates that have came with these rumors.
Rory takes the paper and looks at the coordinates.
Rory: Have you tried yet?
Rory places the coordinate notes in her back pocket.
David: No....not yet but once we set sail, I'll give it a shot....You didn't answer my question; you coming with us?
Rory shuts her eyes, shaking her head.
Rory: I can't.
David: Why?
Rory: You know damn well why, plus I don't want to feel like a third wheel.
David sighs.
David: We can make this work.
Rory: David...it's too late for me.
David: No, no, it's not. I know...I know this whole thing is fucking crazy. I know....but we have a choice. We can choose happiness.
David takes Rory's hand.
David: We deserve happiness, wherever we can find it in this destroyed world.
After eye locking for a brief moment, David winces and groans, clutching onto his arm, before backing into the shelf.
Rory: David! David! Are you okay?
David looks at Rory, then back at his wound.
Rory: What happened to you?
David looks down for a moment, before looking at the wall.
Rory: David?
After shaking his head, David removes his bandage, revealing an infected bite mark on his arm. Rory gives a saddened look on her face.
Rory: How did—
David: Yesterday....protecting Hannah...
Rory: David....
Rory's eyes widen.
Rory: You haven't told Hannah.
David shakes his head.
