Buddy Dieker : There was a French writer, long time ago - I can't remember his name. Well, I can't remember anybody's name. Anyway, he was old, for those days, and very sick, lungs and ticker all going, and he was stuck in bed. Now, this guy's a loner all his life. But he tells the lady taking care of him that he wants to see his friends, say goodbye. So she sends out word, and all his friends come to his little hovel, gather around his deathbed, telling stories. And you know what happens?
Wendy Byrde : What happens?
Buddy Dieker : He doesn't die.
Wendy Byrde : [chuckles]
Buddy Dieker : And then after a couple days, the friends, well, they leave. They have lives. And then he dies. Sad, but sweet. Because, when you think you're gonna die yesterday, today is *sweet*. So, hang in, Wendy. Lose your shit tomorrow. Today's no day to fall apart.
Wendy Byrde : [chuckles with relief and sniffles]
