This is the part of Joel's wife, Ella, whose history with Joel has been left somewhat of an enigma in the overall story but I think is worth exploring at least in the form of a dream to offer a little more insight into Joel's character. My interpretation of her is entirely my own and is in no way based off of what Naughty Dog may have in store for her in future iterations of the game. 


This particular scene is set in Joel's first apartment. Ella arrives home from a trip to the grocery store. She sounds overwhelmed and exhausted as she sets down her keys and begins to put away groceries. Her tone should shift sharply to frustration as soon as she glances at Joel sitting on the couch and taking generous sips from a bottle of whiskey, like this is a  problem Joel has dealt with throughout their relationship. Line 2 should be spoken as if you were face to face with him instead of across the room as this will be the point where it begins to dawn on the viewer that this isn't reality and instead a terrible nightmare he's about to wake from. This line should be conveyed in a more desperate tone. 





  • Really? Aren't you getting sick of hearing about this? ...You should've seen Kroger's, you'd think the world was ending with how little there was... One blackout. I guess that's all it takes for people to lose their damn minds. Hope you like potato brea-... Are you kidding me right now? You said you'd stop... Can you just tell me what's... Listen, I know you're hurt but I can't keep doing this. I won’t go back to that, Joel, I just won’t... I know things are fucked up now but please... 

  • Baby... baby, look... I need you to protect her... the same way you couldn't protect me... Joel? Joel?!
