Doc Appointment #13

[doc_furcoat]

Y'know, back home it'd be twenty-eleven... heh, one more year until the world ends. Or some frickin' nonsense.

Kinna surprised this town hasn't dropped an A-bomb on us yet. Maybe that's next Christmas.

[Don't mind Worth, he's just thinking out loud... on the phone. He has nothing better to do really.]

There's no proof for prophecies like that. No one should believe them.

[doc_furcoat]

Hence why I said it was nonsense.

But ya always have the crazies who believe anythin' ya tell em.

[hispalette]

Believing in weird things isn't completely crazy. Just shows that you like to think outside the box; that's what I've always been told.

[doc_furcoat]

That's what parents an' teachers tell kids so they think they're normal. Not that bein' normal means much.

[hispalette]

Who can tell what's normal and what isn't? Lots of people would say the stuff I'm used to is weird, but for me, it's just routine. Same thing with you, I bet.

[doc_furcoat]

An' I'd bet yer right, kiddo, but lucky me I ain't one fer bein' philosophical. So I could really care less.

[hispalette]

[he makes a soft, contemplative noise.] If you say so.

[doc_furcoat]

[If you were in the same room he'd pat your head, Red.]

I do say so.
