Mr. Black: How will you feel in bed tonight if you don’t get on the ferry?
Oskar: Heavy boots, probably.
Mr. Black: And how will you feel if you did?

Oskar: So what about while I’m on the ferry? What if it sinks? What if someone pushes me off? What if it’s hit with a shoulder-fired missile? There won’t be a tonight tonight.
Mr. Black: In which case you won’t feel anything anyway.
