[Eddie sounds high.. because he is. He's doped up on morphine, death-tolling in the infirmary, but still diligently posting his serial.]

I don't care what you all think! Here's part... whatever it is. I started it before, but I had to finish it now because someone had to interrupt. Whoever you are? You're stupid.

What do you think you're doing?

I wasn't even...I was somewhere else today.

Private

[acertifieduser]

..What? Oh. No, I know it wasn't you. I know you would never kill me, Jane. I said that already.... I think.... [A pause.] Yeah, I did! Someone said they were you to get me into the pool.

Private

[thebestnose]

You shouldn't have written that, either. My dear Eddie, you are so stupid. I have to do everything for you, don't I?

Private

[acertifieduser]

Yes, I should have. I was acting out. For you.

But.. yeah. If you want to do everything for me? That would be good too.

Private

[thebestnose]

If Eddie suspects you, like I know he does, then you're going to be useless to me.

You realise this, don't you?

Private

[acertifieduser]

Suspects me of what?

Everyone knows I love you.

.....

I mean 'like.' I don't love you. I don't know you that good.

Private

[thebestnose]

Of helping me.

And I know what you meant. Don't say that. [Pause.]

When you're out of the infirmary, we'll talk more. Until then, start pretending like you're being convinced it might have been me. Can you do that for me?

Private

[acertifieduser]

They won't suspect me. I'm sly as a.. fox. Foxes are sly.

Okay. Okay, I won't.

But I know it wasn't. If I suspected you, it would be suspicious.

Private

[thebestnose]

I know, Eddie. I know.

Private

[acertifieduser]

....Good.

So am I supposed to be suspicious of you or not?

Private

[thebestnose]

You are, darling.

Private

[acertifieduser]

I'll do it!
