It is scary and dreamy; heartbreaking, funny, and gorgeous. "He was just lying on the sidewalk, with his head all wet and cold. 'Jean-Paul,' I said, 'do you want to go to the hospital?' He said no, so I knew that something was wrong. We put him on the stretcher and covered him up. 'Jean,' I said, 'do you know who I am?' He took a long time to answer. 'Girlfriend . . . I dont want to play today . . . I feel too bad . . .' We took him to the hospital. He had a core temperature of eighty-two degrees. Another hour and he would have been dead. The next time I saw him I said, 'Jean-Paul, do you remember when I picked you up half dead?' He was laughing. He said, 'Girlfriend, theres no such thing. Dead is dead, and arent I talking now?'"
