No, come to think of it, I don't think the Cure will end, but I can make up an ending if you want me to.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
