[Phlegming returns home from the Quarantomb and finds Catarrhina laying in bed, unmoving.] ...Catarrhina? You're very quiet. [Runs over to her side.] What's wrong, Catarrhina? Answer me! You're not...? No! No! Not you! The contagion can't have taken you! It doesn't make sense. I sealed it away. Everyone's better now! I was too late, wasn't it? Even as I sealed it away, you were already gone. Why? Why didn't you tell me you were ill? If I'd known, I would have worked harder, faster. Perhaps I could have saved you... Oh, Catarrhina!

Hiya, Joker. If you're playin' this tape, you've probably figured out you've been had. Yeah, I left you some cash, but only ten million — which, knowing you, you've already blown. All the other stuff, money, jewels, and gold, it's all fake. See, I always hated your guts, and this was the perfect payback. By now, you're probably out of real money, the IRS is after you, and you can't admit I fooled you, or you'll be the laughingstock of the underworld. The joke's on you, sucker! I got the last laugh after all! [Laughs, chokes, uses his oxygen mask, still cracks a smile.]
