Panel 2:
First woman: THAT'S GREAT! HEY, SINCE YOU'RE GETTING RAPTURED COULD YOU SIGN THIS AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS TO ME, IN THE EVENT OF YOUR DEATH?

Panel 3:
First woman: I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO THIS IS JUST FOR FUN.

Panel 4:

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with dark curly hair excitedly declares, "THE RAPTURE WILL COME IN MY LIFETIME!" Another woman responds, "REALLY?" Panel 2: The first woman says, "THAT'S GREAT! HEY, SINCE YOU'RE GETTING RAPTURED COULD YOU SIGN THIS AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER ALL YOUR POSSESSIONS TO ME, IN THE EVENT OF YOUR DEATH?" Panel 3: The first woman adds reassuringly, "I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO THIS IS JUST FOR FUN." Panel 4: Realizing she's exposed her own disbelief, the first woman backpedals, "THE RAPTURE WILL PROBABLY COME IN MY LIFETIME!" while the second woman laughs, "AHA!" having caught her in the contradiction. Votey: A close-up of the second woman thinking with a sly smile, "I WONDER IF I COULD PAY OFF MY STUDENT LOANS THIS WAY," considering turning the rapture-bet scheme to her own advantage.
