"I'm not dead."

"Nothing. There's your ninepence."
"Ere, he says he's not dead."
"Yes he is. "
"I'm not."
"He isn't?"
"Well, he will be soon, he's very ill."
"I'm getting better."
"No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment."
"Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations."
"I don't want to go on the cart."
"Oh, don't be such a baby."
