Richard: Alright, bring the cell plate in.

Son: Wait..don't we have to...'unalive' them first?

Richard: Ha-ha-ha! You think so, son?

Son: No, really. These are one of the most dangerous virus cells ever. This could be insanely catastrophic.

Richard: We're supposed to be studying these viruses ALIVE, son! Not dead! We can't see how they work!

Son: (sigh) fine.

Richard: Alright, let's see here--ooh! These ones multiply quickly! Facinating! 

Son: Be careful, dad!

Richard: Don't worry, son! It'll be fine--ah-I got some on my arm...ugh..(rapidly scratching arm)

Son: Are you okay?

Richard: Yeah--just kinda--itchy..*mark becomes more red and red*

Son: Dad!! Seriously!!

Richard: oh..no..son, give me the bomb. It's on the shelf.

Son: THE WHAT!?

Richard: SON!!!!

Son: *gives Richard the bomb*

Richard: (sigh) okay..okay.

Son: ...dad?

Richard: ...yeah?

Son: ...it's beeping.

Richard: i know...

Son: .....what?

Richard: (sigh) I didn't want you to experience me being dead, so...we can die together now.

Son: what? No...dad!

Richard: It's fine, son. I love you.

Son: no--TURN IT OFF-

(Explosion)

(MISSING LORE: Richard gets sent to a void similar to Edd's, but he is no longer with his son. A ghostly figure takes charge of Richard, which is now known as "Froz", so no one confronts Richard in the real world when he is being forced by the figure to do "tasks". )
