I FAIL TO SEE WHY YOU SHOULD ASK FOR SUCH THINGS, AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE ON THE LOCAL FOLIAGE.

[SCREENED TO TIMON]

BE CAREFUL. I DO NOT BELIEVE I NEED TO TELL YOU YOU'VE ASSUMED A DANGEROUS POSITION.

SHOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING (ASIDE FROM JEWELS), DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.

They're gifts, I'm not asking for 'em. And I accept 'em 'cause they came from someone who cared enough to give me one. Doesn't matter if I could just get it myself... Unless it was something dumb like a rock or somethin'.

[screened to Death]

And I don't believe I have ta tell you you're not the only one who's told me that... Thanks though. After everything that's happened, I can't back out now as much as I'd like to. People are countin' on me.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE A ROCK AS A GIFT.

I UNDERSTAND, AND I REPEAT: SHOULD YOU NEED ANYTHING, ASK.

Maybe they're in a hurry and couldn't find anything else to give?

[screened to Death]

... Yeah know, now that I think about it, I think I might have a few questions for you.

I HAVE HEARD IT IS "THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS." WHAT THOUGHTS DOES A ROCK CONVEY?

[SCREENED TO TIMON]

SUCH AS?

Uh, yeah. That's more like it. The thought that counts. It ain't really 'bout the rock, it's just that someone was thinking of you and making you happy when finding or making gift.

You ain't ever come across anybody like these guys here, have you? You know, no names or lifespans...

I SEE.

[SCREENED TO TIMON]

I HAVE NOT. NEITHER ZOMBIES NOR GHOSTS HAVE LIFESPANS, BUT BEFORE MY ARRIVAL HERE I HAD SEEN NO CREATURE WITHOUT A NAME.

That's strange... You don't have a lifespan, do you?

Then how the heck do you lose it n' your name? I mean, you're dead, aren't you?

ONE LOSES ONE'S LIFESPAN BY DYING. I DO NOT BELIEVE ONE CAN EVER LOSE A NAME - IT'S POSSIBLE THE CITIZENS SIMPLY CAME INTO BEING WITH NO NAME, THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT COULD HAPPEN EITHER. TOO MANY QUESTIONS AND NOT ENOUGH ANSWERS, AS IT IS SAID.

I AM NOT DEAD; I AM DEATH. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

I thought you got your name after your parents gave it to you. N' I know the citizens here got names.

So... You were you always bones then?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NAME AND WHAT ONE CALLS ONESELF. THE CITIZENS MAY CALL THEMSELVES BY ONE WORD OR ANOTHER, BUT THEY HAVE NO NAMES.

NO. I AM A CONCEPT, A FACT OF EXISTENCE GIVEN FORM BY THE BELIEFS OF HUMANS; AN ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION, IF YOU WILL. I WAS BORN ALONG WITH THE FIRST LIVING BEING, AND WHEN THE LAST LIVING BEING DIES, SO SHALL I.

That doesn't make sense. How can you have a name before getting one? I mean, sure, maybe if if you're adopted at a young age n' nobody knows the name you first got, sure. But other than that...? -without includin' nicknames, I don't see how you can already have one.

Oh, sort of like an enigma? That's pretty hard to believe. I get what you're saying, but that'd have to mean you're not real, a figment of the imagination n' that can't be true; you seem pretty real to me.

... If humans started imagining you with a mullet, would you grow one? Hmhmhm~!

I REPEAT: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE'S NAME AND WHAT ONE CALLS ONESELF. EVEN IF YOU SUDDENLY DECIDED TO CALL YOURSELF JEHOSEPHAT, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR NAME WOULD STILL BE TIMON.

I AM AS REAL AS YOU; I SIMPLY CAME ABOUT A DIFFERENT WAY.

I HAVE NEVER GIVEN THOUGHT TO THE ISSUE. MULLETS ARE NOT POPULAR ON THE DISC.

Of course it would, 'cause that's what my parents called me.

Yeah, a crazy and absolutely unbelievable way.

Mullets ain't popular anywhere. But if they were, you think you'd have one?
