[theshabbiestofmen]

That's your symbol for death? Argh, argh?

[doggedly]

If you'd like to write up some more famous last words for me, I'd be willing to give them a go, but yes, as it stands now, that is my symbol of dying.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Didn't you once claim you were going to sing a dirge when you were about to die?

[doggedly]

That was for your death, actually. I've always assumed that my death would happen in a blaze of glory--broomsticks on fire and giants shouting and centaurs running every which way, and perhaps a flaming sword as well--orphans being rescued, young ladies wringing their hands, et cetera.

And argh, argh.

[theshabbiestofmen]

They're not very creative last words. That's my only complaint, you know; anyone could have said them. It's a disappointment after all that fuss.

[doggedly]

Which will make them terribly memorable.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Hardly. You're deluding yourself, Pads, and it's quite sad. Pick new words.

[doggedly]

When the hell did you get so critical!

[theshabbiestofmen]

I lived with you for a few years.

[doggedly]

And that turned you cruel and cynical. I see.

I shall draft a second set of last words for you, as I would so hate to disappoint. All right?

[theshabbiestofmen]

All right. I shall simply have to settle for that, I suppose.

[doggedly]

S' your birthday present as well, I hope you realise.

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's all right to admit you're just trying to get out of getting me something.

[doggedly]

What a thing to say! I always get you the very best presents, you know that. I'm only saying, the way you're carrying on about this, it clearly means a great deal to you. So.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but we're not at home, are we? You're bound to run into more difficulties this year.

[doggedly]

Sorry, but are you suddenly a seer? I could get you brilliant presents if I were buried underground, all right, have a little faith!

[theshabbiestofmen]

It's not a lack of faith, it's common sense. There's a difference-- quite like my faith in Jenna to outdrink you, actually.

[doggedly]

Yes, well, I defy common sense. I always have.

[theshabbiestofmen]

You lack it, you mean.

[doggedly]

Po-ossibly. But it is a lack that helps me to defy it, so. There you are.
