[After all the things have been distributed, all the affairs and money settled, Alice receives a message on her NV. When she opens it, a holograph of Jack, messy and smiling.]
Hullo, darlin'. If, uh, if you're seein' this, it means I ain't around no more. I hope I disappeared. I mean, I probably have, bein' immortal and all, but, uh, you never know. I ain't psychic, I can't be everythin'.
[He grins for a few seconds before rubbing his neck.]
Sorry. I guess I don't wanna think about this. But listen . . . babe, if I'm gone-- you know this ain't for forever. I will find you again. I think people go back home after here, and if that's true-- well, it's a cinch. Sirius'll find me, he's got a time travel thin', and we'll find you. And we'll be together, love. Okay?
[He smiles sadly.]
I know you're upset. I'd be outta me mind if this were you. But-- you gotta keep goin'. All right? You know we'll be together again, and I swear the day I see you again I'm marchin' us down to the mayor's office to get wed. But til then-- you gotta keep tryin'. For Sirius-- he'll need you. He needs somebody to be strong for him, sometimes. And for the kids at the orphanage. You're the best thin' they got goin' for em.
[A few seconds pass.]
I think that's about it. I left you just about everythin', so you don't have to worry about money anymore.
I love you. Meetin' you was the best thin' that ever happened to me, Alice, and I ain't lettin' no Core or time or anythin' stand between us. Just-- hold on.
I love you.
[He smiles blindly out at her for a few moments-- and then the message ends.]

I do beg your pardon. What in heaven's name are you doing with horse tranquilizers?
