y: Which infinity have you been to?
x: Minus infinity.
y: Not surprised. What did you hunt?
x: Nothing. Just found something.
y: A meteor?
x: Very funny. Meteors are common
around here.
y: What was it then?
x: A rainbow.
y: A rainbow? Ah,
they no longer exist anywhere.

x: There’s one in this box. Look.
y: A diskette. What’s on it?
x: Everything.
y: Simply everything!
x: Simply everything.
y: Congratulations. I’ve needed something like this.
Something like everything.
I was bored.
x: A little present for you.
 

II

y: Really, what’s on it?
x: Everything. It’s unlimited.
y: Our equipment is limited.
x: But not our time.
We’re condemned to infinity.
y: Infinities.
x: We had no pity.
y: They had no pity.
x: Neither did we.
y: You shouldn’t feel guilty. It’s nonsense.
They made the decision. We were tools.
What’s this voice?
x: Nothing. A soprano.
y: Was it the only voice in minus infinity?
x: I don’t know. I didn’t stay long.
y: Once you’d found the diskette!
x: No. Once I’d found the voice.

y: Wait! Is it on the diskette, too?
x: Search for it.
y: You keep the diskette.
x: But the voice will soon go!..
y: You can have everything, I want the voice.
x: She’s about to leave.
y: Rubbish.
x: Probabilities
y: You take the diskette.
x: She’s going away!
y: Leaving?
x: Leaving.
I told you so.

III

x: We showed no pity to Earth.
y: They showed no pity.
x: Neither did we.
I feel infinitesimal.
y: You are infinitesimal.
x: Only our crime is astronomical.
y: Nonsense. Calculus is a tool. Anyway,
that voice isn’t on the diskette.
x: It’s the only thing missing. I deleted it.
y: It had such warmth... If only I could remember...
x: Everything is yours, the memory is mine.
