"MIKE... I GOT SICK" SAID MY CUB, COUGHING.
"WHAT???" I ASKED SCARED.
"I GOT... YOU... IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO TELL YOU, BUT... WHAT I HAVE..."
"C'MON!!! TELL ME!!!"
"MIGHT HAVE NO CURE..."
"REALLY???"
"THAT I WAS TOLD. MAYBE IF I EAT TOFU AND LET MY MOM PUT THOSE CHINESE NEEDLES IN MY BODY, THERE COULD BE A SILVER LINING..."
"NO WAY???!!! WHAT YOU HAVE..."
"TBC---SIS..."
"WHAT?
"TBCL---SIS..."
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"
"TUBERCULOSIS!!!"
"SHIT! OH NO! WHAT WE ARE GONNA DO???"
"WE'LL HAVE TO APPRECIATE EVERY MOMENT WE CAN BE TOGETHER... I GUESS"
"CUB... THIS WAS NOT IN MY SCHEDULE..."
"NOT MINE EATHER... GUESS I AM HUMAN AFTER ALL... HUMAN ALL TOO HUMAN"
"CUB... THIS IS SAD..."
"I KNOW"
"BUT YOU'RE SURE YOU HAVE TUBERCULOSIS???"
"SO SAID THE DOCTOR... MIKE... I WILL LOVE YOU IN THE AFTER LIFE... PROMISE"
"LOOK! THIS AIN'T FUNNY!!!"
"YOU THINK?"
"THERE MUST BE A HIGH-TECH TREATMENT FOR THAT SHIT, I'M SURE"
"WHAT IF I GO UP THE ENTERPRISE AND TELL JOSH TO RESURRECT ME??? YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK?"
"LIKE HE EVER PAYED ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ASK"
"BUT I CAN TRY. KNOCKING ON HEAVEN'S DOOR MUST WORK AT LEAST ONCE..."
AND THE CUB COUGHED AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH
"I'M DYING MIKE, THERE'S NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT... THIS IS MY KARMA FOR DOING NO HARM TO ANYONE IN MY LIFE..."
"YEAH, THAT MAKES SENSE..."
"CAN I DIE IN YOUR ARMS???"
