幾年前丹尼男孩因為結腸癌開了刀，又做了些之後的治療，我猜想是化療吧。這個病讓他明白了自己終有一死，而他的回應方式非常有趣：他製作了一份名單，列出所有他認識而死掉的人。伊蓮問他是不是還繼續在記那份名單。 我已經放棄了，他說，只要時間夠久，我都一直沒復發，我就可以開始相信自己大概擊敗那個混帳病了。不過真正讓我放棄的是世貿中心。雙塔垮掉兩天後，街角那個傢伙，我每天回家路上會跟他買一份報紙，到現在為止有二十年了，結果他現在告訴我，當時他兒子就在北樓裡，他媽的就在被飛機撞上的那一樓。我認識那個小孩，他小時候每星期六都會幫他父親弄星期天的《紐約時報》，把各個版夾成一份。湯米，這他名字。那天我回家，想把他列入我的名單，然後我心想，丹尼，你他媽以為自己在幹嘛？那些人死得快到你都來不及寫下來。
