To all of you from post-1776 America, happy Fourth of July. [Thoughtful pause.] Well, I suppose it's the fourth of July for everyone else too... I hope you're all having a nice day.

It's not that much longer to live.

Are you saying you're already almost a hundred years old? Or more?

Only forty. I only have to last another seventy-five years.

That's still a whole lifetime. What makes you think you'll live that long?

Nobody's managed to kill me yet.

They don't have to. You'll drink yourself to death before you're sixty.

That ain't nothing modern medicine can't fix.

[Disgusted by your attitude.] Seems wiser not to break it in the first place.

What's life if you can't enjoy it?

I've never understood what's so enjoyable about ruining your liver.

No, I don't suppose you would.

[You probably mean that as an insult, but he isn't going to take it as one. He'll just close the journal.]
