Where It Began

"What?"

"What, what?"

"You can tell me."

"Hmm. No, better not."

"Okay. But, you know I won't tell anyone."

"Oh, I know that. You never tell anyone anything. Of all of them, I can trust you the most."

"I know what you're thinking anyway."

"You do?"

"Yeah, Cap, I do."

"How, Mike?"

"I'm thinking it too."

<laughter>

"TWITS!"

(Whisper, thanks for the challenge and for the suggestion of the combo below - and well, just thanks...Mmmhmmm.)

"It just doesn't make sense, you know?!"

"Mmmhmmm."

"I mean why would Chet do...do...umm, what was I going to say? Oh well, doesn't matter. He did something...I think."

"Mmmhmmm."

"So, here we are. You still with me, Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Good. I guess I'm still here too. At least I think I'm talking. Don't think I'm dead. Wonder if when you're dead, you know you're dead. I don't think I'm dead. I don't think you're dead either. But what if we are both dead? No, it wouldn't hurt so bad if we were dead. No, we are definitely alive. Don't you think, Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Good. 'Cause...'cause...I don't know. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, the horse. What horse? I don't know. See I can't be dead 'cause I'm confused. I don't think you'd be confused when you're dead. But......."

"You still here, Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"You think we'll make it out of here, Mike?"

"Mike? You gotta keep talkin', Mike. Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Mmmhmmm, what? You think we'll make it or you'll keep talkin'?"

"Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"I wonder if...ummm...what's his?...R...Roy...wonder if Roy is..."

"Mmmhmmm."

"Yeah, I think so too. He's...looking...for us. You......okay?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Me........too. You in...a...lot of...pain, Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Me.......too..............."

"Hey! You hear that, Mike? I think...someone.......hey! We're here. Me and Mike. Hel...p. Hear 'em...Mike?"

"Mmmhmmm."

"Hey! It's Johnny. And...Mike. Can...you...hear...us? We need.............."

"Mmmhmmm......"
