"Slow down!" Grif yells.
"There's no time!" Simmons yells back. "Sarge is gone! I was digging a hole-"
"I watched." Ash says.
Simmons continues. "And I kept digging, but there was no Sarge. And I finally dug deep enough, and I found another hole."
"You dug a hole, and found a hole." Grif says. "Isn't that what a hole is?"
"Nonono, I mean a hole at the bottom. It opened into some kind of big cavern."
Grif stops.
"A cavern? A cavern like a cave?" Grif asks. "Like a cave with bats?"
"I don't know." Simmons replies. "Why, are you afraid of bats or something?"
"Afraid of bats?" Grif asks. "No. Why would I be afraid of bats? And why would you even ask that question? Were there bats or something? That's kind of a weird thing to ask for no reason."
"I didn't see any bats, okay?!"
"Did you hear any bats?"
"No."
"Did you smell any bats?"
"I don't know what bats smell like!"
"Then lets hope you never find out. Is it getting dark? We should get inside."
"It hasn't gotten dark here in three fucking years, asshole."
