From my conversation last night with E.S.:

FAUSTUS: Is that a cold sore on your nose?
E.S.: Yes.
FAUSTUS: Have you been using cream?
E.S.: Yes, but it hasn’t done anything. It’s probably viral. It’ll just go away on its own.
FAUSTUS: And then I’ll get it.
E.S.: It would only be fair.
FAUSTUS: …
E.S.: Actually, if life were fair you’d get like ten of them.
FAUSTUS: If life were fair a lot of things would be very different.
E.S.: If life were fair you would be one giant, festering wound.
FAUSTUS: If life were fair I would be a multi-billionaire lounging around a pool eating bon-bons.
E.S.: As a giant, festering wound.
FAUSTUS: I hate you.
