"Hello. You have reached the phone of Dr. William Birkin. If this is a medical emergency, please hang up and dial 911. If this is to scream at me for something, press 1... And then shove your phone up your ass. Everyone else, go ahead and leave a message."

...You've got a lot of nerve...

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I promised I'd be okay.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

You really think I care about that right now? You're going to get me killed.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

You could come here and be safe.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

No, I can't. You don't get it, he'll just come and find me and then you're dragged into it too. I'm trying to avoid getting anyone else pulled into this, you idiot. Just stop sticking your neck out before I have to offer up my own instead.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

...I just want to protect you, not sit and watch you be hurt. Isn't there any kind of way you can end up safe?

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

[There's a long silence, and then, Birkin finally says something, hissing it through clenched teeth.] You're not Stein, stop trying to pretend you are. You can't protect me from the big bad man in sunglasses, so stop trying to replace someone who could.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

That's not what I'm trying to do.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

Then stop trying to protect me from something you can't handle! I won't get hurt as long as I don't have to do anything stupid like try to save you from getting killed - or infected!

Let me protect you, Issei. For once, just let me protect someone!

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

...If you absolutely must.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

When you develop the ability to electrocute Wesker's soul - assuming he still has one at that point - feel free to defend me all you want. Until then, I can handle this.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

You know there's a person who does everything I say and is a match for him, right?

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

[Sigh] I'm not getting you or Lancer involved in this and that's final. Once I'm dead, do as you both please with Wesker, up until then, please just let me be the token bad-decision-making adult on the community?

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

All right, fine. But you're not allowed to die.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

Well if I do, realize I say this with the utmost sincerity: Avenge me.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I'm sure I will.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

Use extreme heat. That's what'll get rid of all the infected things I've made.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

I'll do that.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

But remember, you have to wait until I'm dead.

...Or similarly infected, I guess. Either one's a possibility if I keep acting like a jackass.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

Don't.

[Voice]

[touchofgenius]

Then stop getting me in trouble.

[Voice]

[unknownrival]

All right.
