Everyman tries to get out of the situation with Death. He does not want to go on this journey. He proceeds to bribe him with a "thousand pound shalt" for him to come back on another day. Death tells Everyman that it cannot be that way and that he does not accept any form of bribes because if he did he would be a very rich man. He then goes on to tell him that his slate is clean unlike the one of Everyman. He then restates that it is God's will that Everyman come with him on the journey. Everyman agrees on going with him, but he asks if he may bring along a friend. Death agrees to his plea as long as that person is willing to go along. .
Every character in this play is given a name of a specific attribute that humans have. The first person that Everyman decides to ask is Fellowship. Everyman has faith in Fellowship and knows that he will accept his proposal to go on the journey. Once Fellowship approaches Everyman, he notices that there is something bothering Everyman. He asks him what is wrong and if he may say a prayer for him in order to help him with his sorrows. Everyman then goes into detail of what is bothering him and Fellowship tells him that he will stand by his side no matter what happens. Fellowship says that he will even go to hell with him and back if that is the case.
And so ye shall evermore;.
For, in faith and thou go to hell.
I will not forsake thee by the way!.
After hearing this, Everyman goes on to tell Fellowship about his meeting with Death.
Fellowship then backs out of going with Everyman on the journey because he does not like what he has just heard. Fellowship shows what a coward he his by first saying he would do anything with him and then how he backs out after hearing his tale. He claims that people say certain things as jokes and what he told Everyman earlier was indeed a joke.
