[there's a shrill, babbling voice of a worried mother meerkat cutting across the board]

I knew it, I knew it - why did I give him so much space? Why did I keep my mouth shut? It seemed something good to try at the time but but - he's gone! He's been gone for so long and he hasn't come back and he always came back except now! He's not coming back

[meerkatmama]

You're a ghost!

[cowardly_hero]

[There's a pause and then... a long sigh which follows.]

Your faith in me is overwhelming.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[well who's fault is that, huh?]

You never came back, Timmy!

[Timmy-the-Ghost, that is.]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

That's because I'm still out.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[okay, okay, so maybe he's not a ghost... which is actually probably worse for him.]

Timon. What's going on? You've been acting more and more fishy and I've about had enough of it! Not to mention this recent stint of yours!

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

Nothing! Nothing is going on.

And you're the one who started tellin' everyone I'm dead.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

What was I supposed to think, Timon?! You haven't come back, you didn't even write!

[there just may have been another hitched sob after that]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

Well I... Meant to. I just forgot.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

You... forgot?

[Ouch, Timon. Ouch. ;;]

[Voice]

[cowardly_hero]

[Crap, wrong choice of words] Forgot... to mail it. [Nice recovery.]

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]
