[Matt and Wendy sitting at the table looking at things they found in the floorboards]
Wendy: [looking at Matt] What?
Matt Campbell: [looking at a picture of Jonah] Nothing.
Wendy: Matt, come on, just give me a chance.
Matt Campbell: [shows her the picture of Jonah] I've seen him.
Wendy: Shut up.
Matt Campbell: [puts away the picture of Jonah] Gave you a chance.
Wendy: I'm sorry, okay? Just go on. Please.
Matt Campbell: [shows Wendy the picture of Jonah again] I thought that I was hallucinating, but I have seen this kid, almost every day since we've been here. Okay, I wake up in the middle of the night, and it feels like he's been inside me, looking out through my eyes. One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight, okay, me and him, we're just two dead boys.
Wendy: Maybe this place is haunted. Either way, I mean, we have to find out who put these things under the floorboards and why.
Matt Campbell: Yeah, but how?
Wendy: Okay, don't tell anyone, But there are these buildings all over the country where secret knowledge is kept.
[Matt stares at Wendy]
Wendy: Known only as libraries.
[Both laughing]
