It is a lie, Steve. He's alive now, how can you tell a living guy that he's dead?

[He's not even the Bucky Freddy knows.]

[punchedhitler]

But he'll be dead just as soon as he gets back. Do I warn him? Can I change it?

[There's a pause]

He's my best friend, he always had my back.

[orangetoughguy]

[It's a hard question to ask but he's got to ask because Steve comes from that particular universe.]

Did you see a body?

[punchedhitler]

What?

[orangetoughguy]

Did you see his body, after the fall.

[punchedhitler]

There wasn't time to look.

[orangetoughguy]

Without a body he's an open case.

[punchedhitler]

No one could have survived that fall, Freddy.

[orangetoughguy]

Did you think you were gonna survive your crash?

[punchedhitler]

....no.

[This is very good logic.]

[orangetoughguy]

[That's why he's a cawp.]

There you go. Does he know what happened to you?

[punchedhitler]

[He'll never doubt that]

No.

[orangetoughguy]

Look if you're gonna tell'im you tell'im the truth, you don't know what happened after that fall.

[Cause he knows dat Steve dun'wanna lie.]

[punchedhitler]

But you don't think I should tell him.

[orangetoughguy]

No, I don't...he's your buddy though, you know'im better than I would.

[punchedhitler]

I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm crazy.

[There's a quiet pause]

I just don't want to lose him again.

[orangetoughguy]

You ain't gonna know if you'll leave together until you do, man.

[punchedhitler]

Thanks, Freddy.

[orangetoughguy]

It's cool, I know he's your friend....that shit's hard.

[punchedhitler]

He's my best friend.

[There's a sigh]

Sorry for waking you, again.

[orangetoughguy]

Don't sweat it, Steve.

[punchedhitler]

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

[orangetoughguy]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[There's a little smile here even if Steve can't see it.]
