After reconnecting over radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick), who is now more than eighty miles away at a coastal colony, Joel begins to fall for her again. As Joel realizes that there’s nothing left for him underground, he decides against all logic to venture out to Aimee, despite all the dangerous monsters that stand in his way.

Best Quotes


 

Joel: I didn’t really have your typical upbringing. I mean, I did, at first, but then the world ended. I mean, I don’t think anyone was really shocked. We always thought it might, and then it just finally happened. But how it happened, now that’s where it gets interesting.


 

Joel: Agatha 616. Yep, an asteroid heading straight for Earth. I know. So obvious. So humanity came together, and we did what we do best. We shot a bunch of rockets at it! And we blew it up! And it was great! But it wasn’t.


 

Joel: You see, the thing that makes rockets rockets, chemical compounds, a lot of them. Which rained back down on us, and everything changed. And by “everything”, I mean cold-blooded creatures. And by “changed”, I mean mutated and started eating us to death. Ants, lizards, roaches, crocodiles. You name it. There’s a lot of them.


 

Joel: I knew this one kid who was eaten in his sleep by a goldfish he won at a carnival. Man, Todd loved that goldfish. And that cat.


 

Joel: So, for most of human history, if you wanted to kill a cockroach, right, all you needed was a shoe. Well, suddenly you needed a shotgun. And sometimes even a tank. And sometimes even that doesn’t work. Especially, if you don’t stay in the tank, Bob.


 

Joel: Eventually, the really big ones and our military took each other out. We lost ninety-five percent of the human population in about a year. That’s a lot of Bobs. And a lot of Todds.


 

Joel: So for the last seven years I’ve been living in an underground bunker. It’s not as bad as it sounds. Really. It’s a great group of people, and we all love each other. You know, it’s kind of what I imagined college would have been like.


 

Joel: Being stuck in a survival bunker with a bunch of people who have all found their soul mate is less than ideal. Karen and Ray got together a few months ago, so they’re still kind of in their honeymoon phase. It is super physical. Good for them, you know. They’re both very attractive, and apparently quite flexible. Hey, life’s short. Especially down here.


 

Joel: So pretty much everyone’s coupled up down here. Our first baby was born last winter. It was super emotional. Welcome to the apocalypse, kid. The food sucks. At least you’ll never know what you’re missing.


 

Joel: Kala and Connor got together after Carol died. Carol was a cow who ate a box of laundry detergent. And now we only have one cow. Her name’s Gertie. Gertie is great.


 

Joel: [after their compound has been breached] So you guys don’t get scared, ever?
Connor: We get scared.
Tim: We all get scared, Joel, but you get really scared.
Connor: Look, we’re not trying to make you feel bad, Joel.
Tim: We love you, Joel.
Connor: But you’re unsafe.
Tim: You’re a liability.
Connor: Even on supply runs.
Joel: Okay, why did that speech feel so rehearsed?


 

Joel: [referring to the creature] Did I shoot it, or did you?
Anna Lucia: What do you think?
Joel: You.


 

Joel: Oh, and I have a pretty severe freezing problem. But I am working on it.


 

Joel: [seven years ago, shows Aimee his drawing] What do you think?
Aimee: Why do I have a beard?
Joel: No, that’s shading. I did the shading.
Aimee: My head is so large.
Joel: You have a big head.
Aimee: And my hand is so tiny.
Joel: You have tiny hands.
Aimee: I love it. I fricking love it.
Joel: That’s super sweet, because it’s terrible.


 

Joel: Dear Aimee, This week has been especially s**tty. We lost Connor to what looked like a really big ant. Helps me to draw them. I try to capture their essence, scribble down some notes on how to kill them. Sometimes I think it’s the only way I know how to cope with these things.


 

Joel: [over adio] Actually, I got super ripped since the last time you saw me, so.
Aimee: Oh. Wow! Super ripped, huh?
Joel: Yeah, I was kidding. I’m not super ripped. That was just a bad joke.


 

Aimee: I am still kind of blown away that you were even able to find my colony on this thing.
Joel: I know. It’s pretty crazy. Because I found it on the first one. What are the odds?
Aimee: Crazy.
Joel: Yeah. No, I called like ninety.


 

Joel: Hey, you know what I wish sometimes?
Aimee: What?
Joel: That I could like snap my fingers and be back in that car with you. Man, that’d be nice.
Aimee: Yeah. Too bad it’s, you know, impossible. Kind of feels like everything is impossible these days.


 

Joel: We’ve lost a lot of people over the years. You’d think you’d get numb to it after a certain point. You don’t.


 

Joel: [flashback to the day of the attack] Aimee. I love you.
Aimee: I love you too.
Joel: I’m going to come find you.
Aimee: You better.


 

Joel: Aimee’s colony. How far away is it?
Ray: About eighty-five miles.
Joel: How long does that take to get there?
Tim: Joel, you’re not actually thinking of going?
Joel: Tim, just humor me. How long?
Ray: Seven days. Minimum.
Anna Lucia: An armed and trained hunting party would be lucky to last fifty miles on the surface. But you, Joel?


 

Joel: I’m going to go.
Tim: It’s an impossible journey, Joel.
Joel: No, I’m serious. I love you guys, but there’s one person in this world who ever truly made me happy, and she’s only eighty-five miles away. And I’m going to go see her. Phew. That felt awesome.


 

Joel: Dear Aimee, I am done hiding. I’m done waiting for things to get better. It’s time to take matters into my own hands. Time to let someone else make the minestrone. I’m taking a radio, even though it doesn’t have power. But I’m going to take it anyway.


 

Tim: We’re not letting you leave, Joel. You’re needed here.
Joel: Tim, no, I’m not. Come on. I don’t do anything.
Tim: Joel, that’s not true. You fix the radio. You make the minestrone. Okay. It doesn’t sound as important when I say it out loud.
Joel: I appreciate you trying. Really, I do. I don’t know, I just don’t feel like I belong anywhere. I don’t really want to die all alone at the end of the world, so.


 

Joel: Look, I know you guys all just think of me as like some little, pathetic, adorable hedgehog. But I can take care of myself. I’m actually probably a lot stronger than you might think.


 

Ray: Everything will try to kill you.
Joel: Oh.
Ray: Be observant. Use the advantages that you have. You’re fast and small, so.
Joel: Right.
Ray: Don’t fight.
Joel: Don’t fight.
Ray: Just run and hide.


 

Ray: [to Joel] You’re an a**hole if you get eaten.


 

Joel: [after he’s left his compound] Start with something easy. West. Nope, it’s this way. West is this way. S**t. Split the difference. Go this way. Done. First decision made.


 

Joel: Dear Aimee, I am doing it. I’m really doing it! Honestly, I thought it’d be way worse too. So far, it’s not too bad. I’ve seen a lot of signs of death, but no actual death. So cross your fingers.


 

Joel: [to the dog] You all alone? Yeah. Me too. Boy? Is that your name? Boy? Your name is Boy. I’m Joel. Nice to meet you. Thanks for saving my life, Boy.


 

Joel: [referring to the dress] Was that your owner’s? It’s okay. You don’t have to talk about it.


 

Joel: [to Boy] You know, I had a girl too once. I think you would’ve really liked her. Yeah, you guys would totally get along. She loves dogs. I mean, all animals. She’s a big animal lover. I haven’t seen her in seven years. Long time. That’s why I’m trying to go find her. I haven’t told anyone this, but I’m kind of nervous about it.


 

Joel: [drawing and writing about Boy in his notebook] “Weakness, dogs.” That’s you.


 

Joel: [to Boy] Alright, well this is it. Thanks for having me. I should stop talking to a dog.


 

Joel: [as Boy follows him] You want to come with me? Okay. You can come. Let’s go. Come on.

Joel: Dear Aimee, guess what. I got a dog, and he’s the coolest. His name is Boy. He saved my life from a giant frog in a pool who tried to eat me with his tongue. And then we hung out on his bus. Man, do we make a great team. We found out we have like a ton in common too. I feel like we can talk about anything. You got to see us out here. We’re like this iconic duo. I don’t know. Feels like when we’re together, we’re unstoppable.


 

Joel: It’s crazy the things you forget about the world. You know? Like the smells. The grass, the trees, the flowers. I mean, sure, you get the occasional bloody corpse, but…
[he suddenly falls into a hole]


 

Clyde: [as he throws Joel a rope in the hole] It’s a rope, you numbskull! Put it around your foot and grab on!


 

Joel: [after Clyde saves him from being killed by a monster] Was that a samurai sword?
Minnow: Why did you fall into a Sandgobbler’s nest?
Joel: I didn’t mean to, you know. I was just, I was walking.


 

Minnow: You’re lucky we weren’t monsters. You were yelling like a girl.
Minnow: [high-pitched voice] “Oh, this is bad! This is so bad!”
Joel: Okay, I don’t sound like that. My voice is not that high-pitched.
Minnow: Yeah, it is.
Clyde: Yes, it is.
Minnow: It was higher than mine, and I’m eight.


 

Clyde: So what happened with your colony, man? They kick you out?
Joel: No, I actually left on my own. Something I had to do.
Clyde: You stole food, didn’t you?
Minnow: He’s a food stealer.
Clyde: Yeah.
Minnow: No, I didn’t steal any food.
Clyde: Right.


 

Joel: [referring to the noise] What was that? What’s going on?
Clyde: Could’ve been a lot of things.
Minnow: Tree Flamer. Herd Stomper. Rockdiver. Limbsnapper. Limbcrusher. And my favorite, the Chumbler.
Joel: Okay, I get it. A lot of names.
Clyde: Whatever it is, it took your screams for the dinner bell. If it’s got your scent, it’s going to be on you for a while.
Joel: Hey, maybe I could like, I don’t know, come with you guys.


 

Clyde: You left a nice, safe colony to travel all the way to the ocean for a girl you ain’t seen since you were, what, seventeen?
Joel: No, I know what you’re thinking. I know how it sounds. It’s crazy. But, I don’t know. If you knew our connection, you’d probably feel differently. We actually just got back in touch over the radio a few weeks ago. And it’s still there. It’s just magical. And so sweet. She loves me too, so a “pick up right where we left off” kind of thing. I don’t know, it’s just still there.


 

Clyde: Kid, you ever hear of the term “fool’s errand”?
Joel: Alright. What, so I’m a fool because I believe in true love?
Clyde: No, you’re a fool because you’re out here alone. You don’t know a thing about survival. You shoot for s**t. Yet you got an attitude like you’re some kind of a noble warrior floating on the wings of love. Doesn’t work like that.
Joel: Okay. Super encouraging speech.


 

Minnow: [as she’s teaching Joel how to shoot the crossbow] I always clear my mind and say to myself, “A needle through water.”
Joel: A needle through water?
Minnow: Trust me. My dad was the best archer in my colony.
Joel: Oh, really? Okay. Then how come he’s not the one over here giving me the lessons, huh?
Clyde: Because I’m not her dad.
Minnow: Yeah, my dad got killed. Back when we lived in the subway station. Along with Elliot.
Joel: Who’s Elliot?
Clyde: My son.
Joel: Oh, I’m sorry.
Clyde: No need to be sorry. We all have stories like that. Don’t we?


 

Clyde: Tell you what, kid. You going to hang with us, you need to know stuff.
Joel: Yeah. Okay.
Clyde: First lesson.
Joel: Yeah. Hit me.
Clyde: Always survey from high ground when possible.
Minnow: Always.
Joel: Always.
Clyde: Helps you spot the big ones in advance.


 

Joel: [referring to the place Clyde and Minnow are going to] What’s up there?
Clyde: A place called Snow Mountain Wilderness. Supposed to be some kind of colony up there full of survivors. The cold and elevation help to keep the monsters away.
Minnow: You should definitely come with us.
Joel: Well, I would. But, you know.
Minnow: You got to go find your girlfriend.


 

Joel: [referring to Aimee] You know, if you knew her, you’d really like her. She’s a super cool person.
Minnow: Well, she’s not going to like you, because you can’t even get out of a Sandgobbler’s nest. And honestly, I just like you because you have a really cute dog.
Joel: Hurts my feelings.
Minnow: You’re so useless.
Clyde: It just means she likes you, man. She’s been through a lot.


 

Minnow: What you so scared for? Boulder Snails are nice.
Joel: There can be nice ones?
Minnow: You can always tell in their eyes. Just look at their eyes.
Clyde: This one probably saved our lives too.


 

Clyde: [referring to the Boulder Snail] Yeah, they’re very sensitive, you know. But they’ll crush your a**, in a second.


 

Joel: [referring to the asteroid] I was sixteen when it hit.
Clyde: Yeah, they sent everything up at once to take her down. They had the balls to call us the lucky ones, just because whatever the hell was in those things didn’t affect us. Ain’t nothing lucky about getting kicked off the top of the food chain.


 

Joel: [referring to his parents] I couldn’t save them.
Clyde: You putting that on yourself? You’re from Fairfield, man. You shouldn’t even be here. Right? You’re more of a survivor than I thought.
Joel: That’s the coolest thing anyone’s ever said to me.
Clyde: It’s a good start.


 

Clyde: You sure your girl’s worth it? Coming all this way?
Joel: Yeah. Yeah, she is.
Minnow: Don’t settle, Joel.
Clyde: She’s right. You don’t have to. Not even at the end of the world.


 

Clyde: Lesson two. You get a hot meal, or a good night’s sleep. Not both.
Minnow: Not both.
Joel: Are you being serious?
Clyde: Something will have smelled our food and be all over this camp within the hour.
Joel: Why wouldn’t you tell me that though? I didn’t do either.
Clyde: I can’t tell you everything, man. Keep up.


 

Joel: Dear Aimee, I made friends. Human friends. And they’re teaching me everything they know. Like lesson three, don’t take shortcuts. Lesson eight, target practice every day. I’m getting pretty good with my crossbow. Lesson ten, keep your socks dry. That’s a great one. So, I’m kind of struggling with lesson two, not both. That one is not great.


 

Clyde: What you saw were worker bees. What you want to avoid under all circumstances is a queen.
Joel: How do I know if it’s a queen?
Clyde: Well, your first clue would be a giant fin slicing through the earth, following every single sound and vibration you make. You howling in pain, as you’re being ripped in half, will be your second.
Joel: Copy. I’ll keep that in mind.


 

Clyde: Well, we’re getting close to where our paths diverge. You’re going to want to go west to Jenner, the beaches. Or you can be sensible, come with us to the mountains.
Joel: Yeah, I think I’ve been sensible all my life, and it’s really gotten me nowhere.


 

Clyde: Final lesson. Listen to your instincts out here. They’ll keep you alive.
Joel: Yeah. What if I have terrible instincts?
Clyde: You’ll die.


 

Clyde: Listen, man, good instincts are earned by making mistakes. If you’re lucky enough to survive a few mistakes, you’re going to be okay out here. This might come in handy too.
Joel: [Clyde gives him a grenade] Wow! Oh, that’s great. Do you have any more that I could have?
Clyde: You get one. Pull the pin, count to five. Not four, not six.
Joel: Five. Got it.
Clyde: You’re going to be okay.


 

Clyde: [to Joel] Hey, man, you made it all this way from Fairfield. What’s another thirty miles, huh?


 

Joel: [to Boy, as Clyde and Minnow leave] I know. I’m going to miss them too. It’s a good decision though. It’s good. You feel good about it, right?


 

Joel: [to Boy] Hey, come on. We got to keep moving. I know. There’s a lot of creepy stuff. Creepy boats. Kind of a creepy sign. But nothing we haven’t seen before. Just got to be brave.


 

Joel: [to Boy] We’re monster killers.


 

Mav1s: [after he meets a robot, Mav1s, at an abandoned motel] Years ago, I was bitten in half by something I did not get a chance to name. I crawled here for safety and powered down, hoping someone would one day find me. And here you are!
Joel: Amazing.


 

Mav1s: Joel, besides conversing with me, for which I am eternally grateful, may I ask what you are doing outside of your colony?
Joel: Yeah.
Mav1s: Did you steal food?
Joel: No. No, I didn’t steal any food.


 

Joel: I’m actually on a quest to find a girl.
Mav1s: Why, Joel, a lovely lady has caught your eye! What is her name?
Joel: Her name’s Aimee. With one I and two E’s.
Mav1s: She sounds like an incredible person, Joel.


 

Aimee: [after Joel’s got his radio working] I can’t believe you’re actually doing this.
Joel: I know. I know. It’s crazy. Aimee, I cannot wait to tell you everything. I feel like a whole new man, you know? You should see me out here. I’m fighting monsters. I’m in a motel right now with a robot and a dog.
Aimee: What? That sounds crazy.


 

Mav1s: Joel, I haven’t been outside in a very long time.
Joel: Yeah. I hadn’t, either.


 

Mav1s: Is something troubling you, Joel? You can tell me anything, as I am an empathetic listener. Also, my memory banks will be permanently erased in fourteen minutes.
Joel: You know that feeling where you just completely put yourself out there? You know? And you’re so sure of it. And right when you’re about to cross the finish line, you just think, “Is this the dumbest thing I ever could’ve done?”
Mav1s: I don’t think it’s dumb, Joel. I think it’s romantic.
Joel: Right, see? Yeah. Okay, you get it.


 

Mav1s: Do not give up on your quest, Joel. When you see her, she will appreciate the grand romantic gesture implied by your journey, and be moved by your kindness and leadership qualities.


 

Mav1s: Another option is that Aimee will not see those qualities in you, and you will have traveled a great distance only to be met with disappointment. Perhaps you will have learned valuable lessons along the way?
Joel: Okay.
Mav1s: A third option is that you don’t survive the journey at all and get eaten by mutated insects amphibians. There are so many ways you could perish.


 

Mav1s: [after she shows Joel photos of his parents] What would you say to your mother now, Joel, if you had the chance?
Joel: I guess I’d tell her I’m okay. I made it to a colony. Met a lot of really, really good people who took really good care of me. They also lost a lot, so. And I miss you guys so much. I’m so sorry.
[he hugs Mav1s and she comforts him]


 

Joel: You know, nature’s kind of nice when there’s nothing trying to kill you.


 

Joel: [referring to Aimee’s camp, to Boy] Some survivors showed up at the camp. That’s not something I got to worry about, you don’t think, right? I mean, what are the odds that they’re like awesome and similar to my age, and potentially a threat to me romantically? Slim to none, probably. I think it’s good actually. I think we’re totally fine. Actually, why don’t we pick up the pace a little bit, just in case.


 

Joel: [after he blows up a monster with his grenade] Oh, my God! Oh, that was awesome. I feel like Tom Cruise.


 

Joel: This is all your fault! What is wrong with you? Why don’t you listen to me, huh? Huh? You have any idea what you just did? You just almost got us killed! We are supposed to care about each other, okay? I would never do that to you. Never! You bailed on me! Oh, my God! That freaking dress! I can’t take it anymore!
[Boy runs off]


 

Joel: Dear Aimee, It’s not looking good. And by “it”, I don’t remember what I was talking about. I can’t feel my feet. Or my face. I think I’m dying.


 

Joel: [as he’s hallucinating] If you find the best dog ever, that’s Boy. Look after him. Tell him I’m sorry. Tell him I love him. I yelled at him. And don’t take his dress out of his mouth. He doesn’t like that. And now I might not ever see him again. And please don’t shout at him. I know you won’t.


 

Aimee: [as Joel is hallucinating, she finds him] You made it, Joel. Are you okay?
Joel: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you’re so beautiful.
Joel: [he kisses her] That was nice.
[he then passes out]


 

Aimee: What was it like? I mean, you have to tell me everything.
Joel: Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I don’t know what everyone’s complaining about.
Aimee: Oh.
Joel: No, it was terrible. I almost died a lot.


 

Joel: It’s so good to see you. I’m lucky you found me when you did.
Aimee: About that, um…
Joel: And, hey, we kissed.
Aimee: You were hallucinating pretty hard.
Joel: How amazing was that, huh?
Aimee: You kissed Old Pete.


 

Joel: [referring to Cap] Why is he called a yacht captain?
Bill: Because he’s the captain of the yacht, you moron.


 

Rocko: I don’t get it. Why did you leave your colony, Joel?
Dana: You get caught stealing food?
Joel: No, I didn’t get caught stealing food. Why is that such a thing?
Cap: He came for love. Good on you, mate. That’s beautiful. There is no mission more admirable than love. Every sailor worth his salt knows that.


 

Joel: Hey, Aimee? Sorry. I know you got like a lot going on. But, you know, I came all the way here to see you. And so, I’m just checking in. Just wondering how you’re feeling about that.
Aimee: I think it’s the most romantic thing anyone’s ever done.


 

Joel: There’s a “but” coming, isn’t there?
Aimee: But I didn’t think you’d actually come here, Joel.
Joel: Oh.
Aimee: And I am so happy to see you. I’m just not, I’m not the same person that I used to be, you know? Seven years, that’s a long time. I’ve lost people. My mom, my friends. And last year I lost someone, and he meant a lot to me.


 

Joel: Oh, man. I feel like such an idiot.
Aimee: No. No, don’t.
Joel: I didn’t even ask you if I should come. I just got so excited, and then I left. I don’t know what I thought. Well, I know what I thought. I’d come and sweep you off your feet, and we’d be happy.
Aimee: Oh, Joel.
Joel: But you didn’t want me.


 

Cap: [to the colony] I mean, make no mistake. We have lost this war. Right? There is no place for mankind on land. But out there? There we got a chance.


 

Joel: I survived seven days on the surface, and if I can do that, literally anyone can.
Cap: Seven days on the surface? I’m impressed.
Joel: So maybe we still have a chance to fight, and, you know, win our world back.


 

Cap: I have a plan. And if you have a better one, mate, I’m all ears. And I will stand by your side.
Joel: You want to hear my plan? It’s just, I got nothing.


 

Joel: [as Aimee is drunk] Aimee, please. This is super important. I need to talk to you about something. You have to get everyone out of here right now. Okay, I think something bad is about to happen. I’m telling you. I can feel it. This is a bad vibe. I think he’s planning something. I don’t think he’s here to save you.
Aimee: Who?
Joel: The yacht captain. He tried to poison me.
Aimee: Cap. Cap’s right there. He’s dancing.


 

Joel: [as he watches Cap dance] I hate him. I hate him so much. Listen, he gave me these poison berries, okay? And I know that the berries are poison, because my dog told me.
Aimee: You have a talking dog?
Joel: No, no, no, Aimee.
Aimee: I love dogs!


 

Cap: [after Joel wakes and finds himself, Aimee, and the rest of her colony tied up] So you probably figured out we’re not on a pleasure cruise. My crew and I want to thank you for your generous donations. Food, water, supplies, medicine. We greatly appreciate it. It will see us through to the next helpless colony down the coast.
Colonist: He’s a food stealer!
Cap: You’re right.


 

Cap: Well, what can I say? S**t gets crazy in the apocalypse.


 

Aimee: [to Joel] You traveled eight-five miles across hell. I think I can stop three a**holes.


 

Joel: [to Boy after he returns] I’m sorry I yelled at you!


 

Aimee: [after Joel rescues her and her colony from Cap, and the monster crab] That was amazing.
Joel: What? Amazing? Me?
Aimee: Yeah.


 

Bill: Thank you, Joel.
Joel: Yeah?
Bill: Yeah, well, I would’ve done it different. But you did alright.
Joel: Oh. Okay.


 

Joel: [to Aimee] Thanks for inspiring me to take this trip. It’s the best decision I ever made.


 

Aimee: [after Joel kisses her as he’s about to leave] That was…
Joel: Great.
Aimee: Yeah. I’ll come find you.
Joel: You better.


 

Joel: My name is Joel Dawson. I’m twenty-four years-old, and I survived seven days on the surface. Twice, actually.


 

Joel: [we see him broadcasting his story on the radio] I’m alive because of the generosity of a few strangers, and the kindness of a great dog.


 

Joel: The surface is a dangerous place. But I don’t think hiding underground is the answer anymore. There is a great big, beautiful, inspiring world out there. And I know you think it might be impossible, but it’s not. If I can survive out here, anybody can.


 

Joel: It’s like a good friend once told me. Good instincts are earned by making mistakes. If you’re lucky enough to survive a few mistakes, you’re going to do alright out here.


 

Joel: So crank open that hatch. Breathe some fresh air. Go. Live your life. It won’t be easy, but it’ll be worth it. I traveled eighty-five miles to find what I had been missing below ground for seven years was right above my head this whole time. And it’s incredible. Oh, and one last thing. Don’t settle. You don’t have to. Not even at the end of the world. Signing off, Joel Dawson.


 

Minnow: “Don’t settle?” That’s my line.
Clyde: It’s a long journey, kid. I hope you know what you’re doing.
Minnow: He definitely doesn’t. Snow Spiders will probably get him.
Clyde: That’s not a good way to go.
Minnow: They will tear him apart.
Clyde: No, he’ll figure it out.
Minnow: Possibly.
