[fun time murder week: THE FALLOUT]

... I wouldn't have time.

... We'll make it work. I hate the idea of you passing out and no one even realizing it happened.

...

And waking up alone from that sucks.

You know, when things got really bad back home, I had this like, seizure. That's when they realized I really needed Kira's bone marrow to totally reboot my system. I'm still... Sometimes I'm afraid I'll have another one.

... That's why you should take it easy.

I am. Why do you think I wasn't going to my lab by myself until I was sure the treatments would last a whole day? I'm not stupid, Al. And you're not either. Don't put yourself at risk for no good reason.

...

... Okay, I'm done. That's as much lecturing as I can handle.

I'll drop off the wheelchair later.

Where is it? I'm assuming it never made it all the way back to the hospital.

[CAUGHT RED-HANDED]

My room.

[smiles]

Al, if this is your idea of a rebellious teenager phase you need to try a little harder.

I'm still young.

[was that a joke? PROBABLY]

Give you some time to refine your rebellion?

...

I don't need the phone.

... They grow up so fast.

[his voice is quiet again, but only because he's trying to be gentle]

I appreciate it, and I wouldn't like it any more than you do if someone else was in my position. But the truth is that resting or being careful isn't going to change what's happening, or make it more predictable. I know that, and I'm alright with it. Please try to understand.
