    Translation:
    [Death] What does that mean, resurrected? I’m traveling the long way here, and now something like this.

    [Guy in bed] I think that’s outrageous too.

        think of the positive version of the sentence and it becomes more obvious it should be is:

        “Either of us is going”

        Or, to further stress the point, turn it into a question:

        “Is either of us going?”

        The subject is not us, it’s “either of us”, which is singular

          Problem is: “Are either of us going” sounds right too.

          Either is not always singular - Either the Red Sox or the Yankees are going to win tonight, not Either the Red Sox or the Yankees is going to win.
