Will doesn’t rise to the challenge. A beat, then heremembers the can of Ensure. Holds it up. Edward recoils.
WILL:
Just drink half the can. I’ll tell her you drank the whole thing. Everyonewins.
A beat, then Edward rolls his eyes. Fine. Will cracks openthe can, finding a straw on the nightstand.
EDWARD:
People needn’t worry so much. It’s not my time yet. This isn’t how I go.
WILL:
Really.
EDWARD:
Truly. I saw it in The Eye.
WILL:
The Old Lady by the swamp.
EDWARD:
She was a witch.
WILL:
No, she was old and probably senile.
Maybe schizophrenic.
EDWARD:
I saw my death in that eye. And this is not how it happens.
WILL:
So how does it happen?
EDWARD:
Surprise ending. Wouldn’t want to ruin it for you.
Edward slurps down as much of the Ensure as he can stand, then pushes the can away. He swallows with difficulty.

EDWARD:
And every day I gave him a quarter.
Every day. Then I got sick and was outfor a couple of weeks. And when I went back there, you know what he said?
WILL:
What did he say?
EDWARD:
You owe me three-fifty.
WILL:
Really.
EDWARD:
True story.
A beat.
