I’m as minimally preset in this world as you are

143
Q

he was sick to death-

A

of stalking celebrities

144
Q

Elizabeth: nothing bad-

A

We bemoaned the impersonality of-

the modern world, but…it had never been impersonal at all.

146

There had always been a-

A

massive delicate infrastructure of people

147
Q

Jeevan had never felt-

A

so close to his brother.

148
Q

What makes you think-

the lights will come back on?

149
Q

A stark and unexpected beauty,-

silent metropolis, no movement.

Q

chilled by-

A

the suggestion of a dark city.

159
Q

an empty bottle-

of sleeping pills

160
Q

the bullet…still-

A

twenty-five years away but already approaching

awfully traumatized.

163
Q

the more you remember,-

A

the more you’ve lost.

164
Q

A sea of-

A

electric lights.

165
Q

None of the older Symphony members knew much about-

science, which was frankly maddening given how much time [they] had to look things up on the internet before the world ended.

166
Q

It would’ve been you-

A

in those tabloid pictures…in a parallel universe

Q

you’d want to live on Station Eleven?-

I think it’s beautiful.

168
Q

[Miranda] had been-

A

overtipping for as long as she’d had money.

A

that remembering them was almost like remembering other people

170
Q

Your life’s probably unfathomable-

A

to most people.

171
Q

You know where-

I’m from…once we lived on an island in the ocean.

172
Q

None of this would seem real-

A

if it wasn’t for you.

that he was performing a scene.

177
Q

Arthur looks up.-

A

Beat.

178
Q

Did this happen to all actors, this-

A

blurring of borders between performance and life?

179
Q

[Kirsten was] well-cared-for and-

A

coddled all her life…unadventurous and well-groomed.

180
Q

he missed his own child,-

A

his distant son.

181
Q

[people of the undersea] clinging to the hope-

A

while Arthur smiled at the camera.

That ________ dinner party

A

ghastly

186
Q

sunlight on the other side of the East River…the effect-

A

reminded Clark of an oil painting.

187
Q

tabloids and movies and-

A

divorces…all those warping things.

Toronto felt like freedom.

everyone knows you again.

190
Q

A wash of violent colour,-

A

pink and streaks of brilliant orange

191
Q

Any expectation of a return to normalcy-

A

long gone by now

192
Q

The last time-

A

I ate an orange.

193
Q

Emmanuelle…her birth-

A

the only good thing that had happened that terrible first year.

194
Q

These taken-for-granted miracles-

A

that had persisted all around them.

195
Q

She is beautiful in a way that-

A

makes people forget what they were going to say when they look at her.

196
Q

a breaking down of some mechanism that had previously-

A

held his personal and professional lives apart.

197
Q

if he didn’t understand at that moment…-

A

it was only because he didn’t want to know.

198
Q

A little girl-

A

did cartwheels up and down…Concourse B.

199
Q

The fabric-

A

was unravelling.

200
Q

Effexor?-

A

I’ve run out

201
Q

he’d sit with Robert-

A

in a restaurant in New York or London

202
Q

there was hazard-

A

in allowing his thoughts to drift too loosely

203
Q

an aching tenderness-

A

for his fellow refugees

204
Q

everyone waiting-

A

for whatever came next.

205
Q

wish I could tweet this…-

A

just chilling with Arthur Leander’s kid at the end of the world.

206
Q

it occurred to him-

A

that they were probably in shock.

207
Q

The girl who needed Effexor was-

A

very sick by then.

208
Q

no one wats-

A

to be a thief

209
Q

chill the fuck out,-

A

I’ll cover it on my Amex.

210
Q

he’d decided to take a plane-

A

to Los Angeles

211
Q

a free flight to Los Angeles…-

A

proof that the world was ending

212
Q

would still leave an ocean between themselves and their loved ones-

A

but would at least bring them two thousand miles closer to home.

213
Q

Why, in his life of frequent travel, had he never recognised-

A

the beauty of flight?

214
Q

Everything happens for a reason…-

A

This will pass. Everything passes.

215
Q

no family, which meant that-

A

she was one of the saner people in the airport.

216
Q

recalibrations having to do with-

A

memory and sight.

217
Q

Ari Gradia 452…-

A

never discussed.

218
Q

Don’t think of that-

A

unspeakable decision…Don’t think…Don’t think…

Q

nothing crossed the sky-

A

except birds and shooting stars.

220

The night sky was brighter-

Q

They…drove him-

A

into the forest at gunpoint

225
Q

There might be-

A

no one left.

226
Q

all the infections that were cured by antibiotics-

A

back when it was possible to obtain anitbiotics.

227
Q

Clark had always been fond of beautiful objects…-

A

the human enterprise each object had required.

228
Q

the planes were warped and-

A

caught in whirling snow.

229
Q

Home, she’d thought,-

A

and felt such relief.

230
Q

I’d thought I was-

A

the only one.

231
Q

There were a number of impractical shoes…-

A

beautiful and strange.

Because they were exposed-

A

to a certain virus, and we weren’t.

234

people who were good…people who weren’t weak.

235
Q

That kind of-

A

insanity’s contagious.

236
Q

James, the first-

A

man who’d walked in

237
Q

The shock of encountering someone who-

A

knew Arthur.

238
Q

If there were newspapers now,-

what else might be possible?

239
Q

The kind of stupid death that-

A

never would’ve happened in the old world.

240
Q

Does it still make sense to teach kids-

A

about the way things were?

241
Q

All that knowledge,-

A

all those incredible thigs we had.

242
Q

the closest thing to a doctor-

A

in a one-hundred-mile radius

243
Q

the physical pain of the post-anesthesia era-

A

often left him shaken.

244
Q

the gentle music-

A

of the river

245
Q

overcome by his good fortune at-

series of photographs and disconnected short films.

253
Q

A bouquet of-

tiger lilies

254
Q

the wonders of technology were still ahead, not behind them,-

A

and far less had been lost.

255
Q

the Symphony was nowhere near,-

A

a terrible absence.

256
Q

You know how this…time we live in,-

A

…how it forces a person to do things.

257
Q

she stopped trying to remember-

A

those lost years on the road

258
Q

he’d had the colossal good fortune to have made it-

A

to Year Twenty without killing anyone.

A

flowers that had sprung up through the gravel

A

this tarnished world

leaves flickering in sunlight,-

A

the brilliant blue of the sky.

266
Q

It was very difficult,-

A

but there were moments of beauty.

267
Q

We long only-

A

to go home.

268
Q

We long only for the world-

A

we were born into.

269
Q

But it’s too late-

A

for that.

270
Q

the boy had shot-

A

the prophet

271
Q

perhaps he’d had the misfortune-

A

of remembering everything.

272
Q

320 people…one of the largest settlements-

Kirste had seen.

273
Q

A strange moment in-

A

a lifetime of strange moments.

A

really understood.
