A passing conversation:

P: You keep calling me.

F: You never pick up.

P: Maybe that's because I don't want to pick up.

F: That's your problem, Irving. You never want to be reminded of what the future may hold, even if it's inevitable. You were always like that.

P: Maybe I was. What do you need?

F: We won't be able to talk any more.

P: That's the reason you keep calling me? To tell me you can't call? I think you're getting ahead of yourself, you-

F: Pointless.

P: What?

F: Pointless. All of this ridiculous prattling is pointless. I can't believe I was ever you!

P: I can't believe I'm going to be you.

F: What do you want from me? To stay exactly as you are right now? What good would that do? Change is necessary.

[Pause]

P: I'm going back to Legion.

F: I thought you might.

P: I'm going back to find Benny, who is apparently in trouble.

F: How lovely for you.

P: You don't care.

F: No.

[Pause]

F: Take care of yourself.

P: I will, if you leave my life well enough alone.

[Call ends.]
