"Death is no more than passing from one room into another."
— Helen Keller
"Shane, this is insane!" Ryan laughed, shoving his friend lightly on the shoulder and totally ignoring the spark he felt whenever they touched that completely was not noticeable at all or thrilling, and Ryan you teenager will you calm down already! "Did you keep the conversation transcript? There's no chance Brent will believe us without that!"
"Of course I have the transcript, what do you take me for? An idiot" Shane did his due diligence in shoving his friend back, maybe a little harder than necessary but the resulting yelp was thanks enough in his books. Not to mention the way his hand tightened ever so slightly on his shoulder in attempt to stay upright, warm and secure and there.
"I wouldn't be the first" Ryan shot back, and of course, Olive rolled her eyes for the thousandth time that night
"Ouch Ry, Im wounded" he placed a hand lightly over his heart in mock offencive, even going as far as to flinch at the touch and share with his friend an accusing pointed glare that had Ryan in a fit of giggles, "You see this wound Bergara! You did this to me!" always the dramatist
"Just give me the script you dork" Ryan snorted, reaching across the taller man's body to snatch the file straight from his grasp, feigning recognition when Shane responded with a loud gasp and a mutter something about plain old common courtesy, have some respect!

SHANE: testing testing, one two three... is this thing on?
RYAN: what the hell are you doing? It's not a toy okay, it's a sophisticated piece of scientific equipment!
SHANE: yeah yeah, something about manipulating radio waves I know I know - this isn't my first rodeo pal
EVP: you two bicker like an old married couple.
(silence)
RYAN: Shane...
SHANE: uh, yeah
RYAN: don't you dare tell me that was a fucking bird.
(wheeze)
EVP: why are you writing?
RYAN: Oh, this? It's uh.. It's a transcript for our editors, the cameras are rolling but they sometimes prefer it on paper? They do an editing thing with it, like writing on a screen it's kind of...um....
RYAN: Is that okay with you? I can stop right now if it's not?
SHANE: why are you so considerate of the ghosts feelings but never mine? Why can't you be this nice to me during the hotdog saga?
RYAN: because you're a giant child in a grown man's body? And also the hotdog bit is insanely dumb and I refuse to encourage it.
SHANE: You take that back right now!
EVP: Hot...dog?
RYAN: Dont ask
SHANE: At least someone appreciates my craft...
EVP: what is EVP?
RYAN: oh, um, electronic voice phenomena? It's what we call voices from spirits on tape recorders and stuff
SHANE: It's you Olive!
EVP: Ollie
SHANE: I think she wants to be called by her real name dude
RYAN: Olive Thomas?
EVP: Just Ollie.
SHANE: I gotta say, I'm loving the nickname Ol, it suits you
OLLIE: Just Shane?
SHANE: Yeah, I mean Shane Madej if you're my mum, or Shaniac if you're a skeptic
OLLIE: You don't believe?
SHANE: Well I mean- I do now it's just-
OLLIE: Yes or no
SHANE: Y-Yes okay fine! I believe in ghosts, are you happy?
RYAN: Woah
SHANE: Shutup. She just ate my ramen, I'm skeptical but I'm not blind.
RYAN: Woah.
OLLIE: Woah?
RYAN: Very woah. I can't believe you just said that. Shane Madej just admitted openly on film for the world to see, that ghosts are in fact 100% real. The boogaras have won, I can't believe this.
SHANE: you didn't do anything shortstack, it was all Ollie, you get zero credit for this.
OLLIE: boo-gara?
SHANE: it's like Shaniac, but for idiots.
RYAN: It means you believe in the existence of spirits. You know boo, like a ghost says "boo" kind of thing..
OLLIE: that's an offensive stereotype.
(silence)
OLLIE: I'm joking? Don't have to be so scared.
(wheeze)
RYAN: I'm sorry Olive- Uh Ollie, sorry. We're just not used to actual real life spirits...
OLLIE: You're ghost-hunters?
RYAN: About that... We've never actually caught anything...
SHANE: Until today, my amigo!
OLLIE: I'll be famous?
RYAN: Maybe?
SHANE: There's a pretty good chance after this one goes up
RYAN: Is that okay with you? We can always stop..?
OLLIE: People will.... See me?
RYAN: I mean, sort of? They'll hear you and watch the way you move things.
OLLIE: Good people?
SHANE: Ollie, I can assure you, the Shaniacs are the nicest people you will ever meet. Incredible taste, great sense of humour, keen eye for science, zero bullshit tolerance-
RYAN: Don't listen to him Olive, we won't let anyone hurt you if that's what you're worried about?
OLLIE: People can be... scary
(silence)
SHANE: Everything is scary Ol, heck us idiots think ghosts are the scariest things in the world, have you seen our movies?
RYAN: He's got a point, most of them are just scared. Like seeing a spider!
OLLIE: Hey! Spiders are friends!
RYAN: not the point, but okay.
SHANE: dude! Stop pissing off the ghost
RYAN: if anyone's pissing off the ghost it's you!
SHANE: How dare you, Ollie loves me!
RYAN: Not as much as show loves me, you didn't even believe in her an hour ago!
SHANE: I gave her a nickname! She'd probably die for me at this point in our friendship!
RYAN: That makes no sense! Do you even understand what a ghost is?
SHANE: You make no sense!
RYAN: W-What?!
SHANE: You heard me!
RYAN: I heard you being dumb!
SHANE: You are what you eat!
RYAN: What is wrong with you?!
SHANE: I'm sorry did i stutter?!
OLLIE: Guys!
(silence)
OLLIE: I told you! Old married couple!!
RYAN & SHANE: Shut-up Ollie!
