Pons: Well, it is MY birthday party.

Ned: Sure, Pons. I think, though, folks us'lly drink and speak about yer passin' on -- to anutter pain of existin'.

Pons: No, Ned. That sounds more like a wake. The only PLANE of existence I'm passing on to is being a year older.

Ned: That better'n being dead like all these here folks thing y'are?

Pons: Why would they think I was dead, Ned? I'm right here.

Ned: You could be a ghost, Pons. Ever consider that? You might well a died in yer sleep.

Pons: That's a bit morbid.

Ned: It ain't more bed, Pons. It's no wakey outta bed. The big sleep. Rig a more dust ron day vue.

Pons: I'm not dead, Ned. It's my birthday.

Ned: I heard one of them steps in grief was denial. Sumptimes ya gotta accept what ya caint change, Pons.
