DRASPAGIN (sips his coffee) why am i supposed to find you? SYMBOLIAC (smiles) because you are going to go on a mission soon... DRASPAGIN a mission? SYMBOLIAC (pointing at his uniform) the war effort is going into a decisive phase DRASPAGIN but... i can't... SYMBOLIAC (suddenly) why not? DRASPAGIN i have... um, (fast now) knowledge of someone with doxrine-analph contamination SYMBOLIAC shoot him dead. it's more humane DRASPAGIN no, he wishes to live. isn't there anything he can do? SYMBOLIAC one can live with contamination many years, if one accepts the pains DRASPAGIN isn't there anyway to heal it? SYMBOLIAC you are the one contaminated DRASPAGIN what, but no... SYMBOLIAC you are bleeding out of your eye DRASPAGIN (shocked, takes napkin and presses it against the eye) thank you SYMBOLIAC you still look quite healthy... i am not sure if the cure is worse than the illness DRASPAGIN tell me please, the doxrines-analphs are killing me... SYMBOLIAC the air is killing you, the bombs are killing you... the oxygen in your blood is penetrating your cells and slowly melting them into a lifeless brew on cancerous outgrowths... and you are telling me that analph-doxrines are killing you? they only make each minute you reside on this planet a torture, but they are not killing you.
