AARON AND TERRY: (IM)MORTALITY
"Hey, Aaron.
If I die, I want
to be buried in
a fluorescent pink suit."
"
If
you die?"
"Yeah. And
after the funeral and all
cremate me
and beat my carbon-ash
into a sword
so my descendants
can avenge me."
"
Avenge
you?
What happened to the
fluorescent pink suite?"
"Burn the suite with me.
And yeah,
avenge.
I ain't gonna die
unless I'm killed."
"That
is not how it works, Terry.
We all die eventually."
"Not me.
I'm immortal."
"Are you high?"
"Nah.
Too busy for that."
"I can't believe you said that.
You of all people.
Too busy with what,
exactly?"
"
Vita,
my friend."
"
Life?
In Latin,
a dead language.
The irony.
Am I supposed to be
laughing or groaning?"
"Like I care.
But seriously,
remember the suit
and the cremation."
"You planning on
goading someone
enough to **** you
anytime soon?"
"You never know.
Better safe than sorry."
"If you die,
that means
you were
not safe
and definitely
sorry."
"Why do you think
I'll be sorry?
It will probably be
a thousand years
from now."
"Then why ask
me to plan
your funeral?
I have a normal
life span.
I won't be alive
when you die."
"Didn't you know?
You're immortal too."
