Eddie Eddie'll call lmccoy And Luke will answer. Sounding not to well-off, himself. "McCoy." Eddie "What." lmccoy "You want me to lie to you instead? Tell you about every one-in-a-thousand so-called 'breakthrough' that makes the tabloids, and sell you every jar of snake oil that comes my way?" Oh, yeah. It's a bad day. Eddie "Gawd, it's not like this is some psychic healer that'd be happy to take my money and pretend to pull chicken guts out of my brain." lmccoy "And don't think I haven't seen that." He doesn't want to yell at Eddie. He doesn't. But god DAMN it, this has been the kind of day where -someone- needs something taken out on them. He takes a deep breath. "Look. Your cousin's just trying to help. I -know- that." Even if he says it through gritted teeth. "But I don't want you to start hoping for something that can't happen. It'll just end with you getting hurt. I've seen it before, too many times. Eddie "Riiight, well, I think it's stupid how when I bring up dying, you tell me not to give up until I actually say, oh, look, here's this thing they're doing, and then well shucks, better get used to NOT EXISTING ANY MORE!" lmccoy There are two ways to respond to that. One of them involves him staying on the phone, and raising his voice to match Eddie's. The other... is the one he takes. "We'll talk about this later. Mister Nigma. When we're both more capable of holding a civilized conversation. Good evening." Click.
