Sophia : Yeah.
Vivien : Yeah, that's why I've tried keeping a calendar. You know, put a line for every day on the headboard by my bed. I've never told anyone that before.
Sophia : I have a plan.
Vivien : [tiredly] Mm... what kind of plan?
Sophia : To get out... we need a shiny card. The guards have the cards.
