Actuarial Fate
-With what I can plug in now,
I can tell you the age you'll
die.
-And if I press you, day and time?'
-I sense sarcasm, but...I could
come close, no matter what.
-Well, plug nothing in because
I don't wanna know!
-But if you knew, you could...
-Straighten some things out?
Like, with Steph?
-The amazing Stephanie!
-Amazed me right outa my mind!
-You could soothe both minds
-To an extent. We’d eventually fight
as to how to reconcile.
-So, it won't be perfect? It's
better than the present standoff.
Which, by the way...
-Morphs over the months to an
unhealthy growth?
-Uh huh? Why don't you pretend
you have a year or so left, and then
the pair of you do what you can?
-I'm the one acutely feeling the
disadvantage. What's her actuarial picture?
-If I had to guess, I'd...well, much better.
-Do I get points, like in football.
-At least a touchdown and extra point.
-The latter is her speciality. Anyway,
a strong betting favorite is she!
-A piece of work! But so are you.
-Making it all the more difficult.
Besides...the best things fall outa
the sky. I should be patient. Trust
to Luck!--Steph and I should.
-Not according to my figures and your
health, physical and mental.
-I'm a case! I don't wanna be a case!
-We have some small choices, but I wouldn't
wish to run the figures.
