[There's a moment of quiet that stretches just a little too long, before Aziraphale speaks up in a rather strained tone.]

Well, this is certainly... unpleasant.

[Master of understatement.]

Er-- I think perhaps I ought to say something about the virtues of patience and endurance, but honestly, it's difficult to take that seriously at the best of times. I only hope that those of you who are able to, er, get about, are willing to aid those who aren't.

Crowley, you might bring some towels.

It's the general reaction, considering the circumstances. Those who can, help - is what I mean.

[mr_phale]

That, at the least, is some small consolation.

[brobeforehos]

It's doing something, at least. Even if that just means smuggling sweets into the hospital...

[mr_phale]

Every little bit counts, I'm certain.

[brobeforehos]

What about you, sir?

[mr_phale]

Oh, I expect I'll be all right, really.

[brobeforehos]

Are you sure?

[mr_phale]

I'm more concerned for those whose injuries are less-- er, survivable.

[brobeforehos]

Oh - ah. Something keeps them from dying, actually.

[mr_phale]

Is that right? Well, that's a bit of good news.

[brobeforehos]

Second bit?

[mr_phale]

You're quite right. I suppose it's not nearly as bad as it might be.

[brobeforehos]

A little bit of optimism goes far. But some bandages might help, too.

[mr_phale]

I suppose that's worth trying, though it may be a bit, ah. Difficult to manage.

[brobeforehos]

Wrapping up a wound is not that difficult.

[mr_phale]

That depends, a bit, on where one is wounded.

[brobeforehos]

Can you get someone to help?

[mr_phale]

Oh, not to worry. For now I've got some towels, at least.
