'''Robert Gadlen:''' Good fortune? The gods have smiled on me, as they smile on all England, where no man is a slave or bondsman. Venison pasty? No? They're good. Let's see... last time we spoke, I was working with Billy Caxton. I made some gold from that. Put it to work in Henry Tudor's shipyards. I made a smile pile. I've still got shipping investments. Went North for a year or so, [[MyGrandsonMyself came back as my son]]. Done that twice, now. Girl! More wine! When [[UsefulNotes/HenryVIII Fat Henry]] done for the monasteries, I bought my estates. And a healthy gift of gold to the crown saw to a knighthood. It's so damn rich. And that's not all. Have a look at this! My fair Eleanor and little Robyn. My first son born in over 200 years on this Earth. Well, that I have known of, anyway. And the Queen herself slept at my house last summer. ''That'' was expensive. It's funny... ''This'' is what I always dreamed Heaven would be like, way back. It's safe to walk the streets, enough food, and good wine. Life is so ''rich.''

->'''Cecil Rogers:''' Me and that tuba are cursed for eternity. As long as that tuba is intact, I will [[{{immortality}} live forever]] to ponder the lives I took.
->'''Middleman:''' So that's why you want it back, to end your misery. I bet you hear the screams of the drowning dead every night. Haunting your every moment.
->'''Cecil Rogers:''' Actually it's been a pretty good time for me. It was rough at first, but then about ten years later, 1922-23, I started going to the gym, taking A little yoga. I ride horses, cars. I became a stuntman --and I was good at it, because I can't die and all-- then I bought stock: calculators, then computers, some oil; I started dating! That's been going very good. Very, ''very'' good. So around 1955 I stashed the tuba in a bank vault for safekeeping and the rest has been history.

Immortality is a gift beyond imagining. If you are offered it: take it. The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages...If you are brave and curious, there is no greater gift."''

And yet I do not regret being alive, for watching my students grow is a joy that has not began to wear on me. But I would not wish to live so long that it does! What would you ''do'' with eternity, Harry?
->'''Harry:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Meet all the interesting people in the world, read all the good books and then write something even better, celebrate my first grandchild's tenth birthday party on the Moon, celebrate my first great-great-great grandchild's hundredth birthday party around the Rings of Saturn, learn the deepest and final rules of Nature, understand the nature of consciousness, find out why anything exists in the first place, visit other stars, discover aliens, create aliens, rendezvous with everyone for a party on the other side of the Milky Way once we've explored the whole thing, meet up with everyone else who was born on an Old Earth to watch the Sun finally go out, and I used to worry about finding a way to escape this universe before it ran out of negantropy but I'm a lot more hopeful now that I've discovered the so-called laws of physics are just optional guidelines.]]

->This afterlife has proved [[CameBackWrong very different to the one I was expecting]]. One of the few shortcomings of the dynastic private schooling system. But for a businessman, a deal-broker, it is glorious. [[{{Greed}} Infinite potential for profit]], and [[TheHedonist so many pleasurable distractions]]. Mmm-mm. Legal, illegal, divine or debauched - it takes all sorts. What I pride myself on is a wealth of experience.
