- Any news?
- We can't find it. They think a transient may have taken it.
- Oh, that's horrible. What would a homeless man do with a missing arm?
- Sell it...to a tire shop maybe.
- Or maybe eat it. God, I sure hope he's not eating it right now.
- That's my wife he's eating, Nancy.
- It's okay little brother, it's just one piece of her.
- I guess you're right; it does no good to think that way.
- No good at all, but you have the most important part.
- I know, her liver.
- No, her brain functions have to remember you... Well, are you going to click Post?
- Maybe in a little while. I want to sit here for awhile longer.
- Don't dwell on it. Come have dinner with me and Tom.
- Is that your cat?
- No, that's Tom-tom, silly. Come have dinner; he brought a pizza from home.
- One of those frozen pizzas you guys always shack up on?
- Oh, you know how cheap Tom is...but it's been microwaved. Here, look.
- Aww, he put it in for too long. The cheese looks past melted—it's going to taste like burnt skin, I just know it.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- No, wait—I'm sorry.
- Tom-tom may have done this one.
- No, it's me. I'm just so irritated, sis. I didn't mean to take it out on you and Tom and the cat.
- You need some rest, brother.
- Have you eaten it yet?
- Tom's thinking about eating it, but I've had it for so long I don't think he wants to anymore.
- Maybe I'll go down to the cafeteria. I wonder if they have any tuna in a can.
- Here, I should have an opener in my purse. It smells a little like fish though.
- There's still some residue on it, Nancy. I can smell your cat.
- I'm a little flaky with cleaning it.
- I'll just ask the girl down there to open it.
- It helps to put some garnish on it. Or else Tom-tom won't go near it.
