* So, um, first things first--
* Things got really heated back there, so why don't we cool things down a bit, hey? |
nnNO!!! You just want to trick me!!! |

* Wait hold ommmmmnmmph!! |
I don't want... I don't want to hear... |
Get your damn hands off--! Uh. Her!! |
STOP THAT!!! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT |
You're... always hurting me... |
|
|
* Hey, hey, hey!! * How about, Cliff doesn't hurt you anymore, and in exchange you let me talk for a little while? * That sounds fair, right? |
...I hope you know what you're doing, kid. |
|
|
* Okay...? Unspoken ceasefire?
* Okay! Now why don't we just... |
|
|
* So... there's gotta be something you want here, right?
* A motive for all the... grabbing...? |
You're trying to placate me! |
|
|
* Whoa, it's not like that! We're just talking, hey?
* Just havin' a chat! |
ohh... of COURSE... aaauuuuuu... |
and when you're done you'll want to LEAVE |
just like... just like all the others... |
|
|
* Wait, "the others"? You've been... left behind before? |
You don't know what it's LIKE |
All by myself... chained and abandoned |
Nobody stops, nobody looks down, |
They want to leave and leave and leave |
and if I LET THEM then NOBODY will be left |
|
|
* Aww... that's so sad!
* But don't worry, we're different!!
* We would never-- |
I know you're lying I KNOW YOU'RE LYING |
because SHE already left!!! |
I, um-- I liked your trellisvines! |
Don't try to make nice now! |
You already left me and you would NEVER have come back if I didn't DRAG YOU BACK!!! |
YOU and the BLADE BEARER and the SERPENT and, and-- |
aaaaa... auuuhuhuuhuuu... |
|
|
* Hey, hey, it's okay...! * You're lonely, right?
* We can all understand that! |
No... auuhuhu... no you don't... |
|
|
* Okay, okay, but what I'm saying is...
* Maybe we can set up a system! * You know, rotating visits, we can help you with your garden, maybe... |
WHY!!??? So you can PITY ME!? |
Tell me about how GREAT and WONDERFUL it is on the other side of that |
|
|
* Aww, but it's not so bad here!
* The architecture's nice... I like your garden!
* You planted these yourself? You're very talented! |
Do you know what it's LIKE |
Why should YOU get to leave!? |
Everyone... aaa... everyone but me... |
Why do I have to stay behind...? |
|
|
* You... wait...
* The shackle!
|
|
|
* The root of your problems isn't that everyone is leaving you...
* It's that that shackle round your leg stops you from leaving with them!
* It's a material issue! If we just remove the shackle--! |
YOU THINK I HAVEN'T TRIED!!?? |
YOU THINK I HAVEN'T RENT MY FLESH AGAINST MY BINDINGS?!! |
since the DAWN OF CREATION |
|
|
* But you don't know that for sure!
* Why don't we get Helen around here, I'm sure she can-- |
I HIT IT WITH A ROCKET LAUNCHER |
|
|
* O... okay. * Right. * But... have you considered-- |
You can try your HONEYED WORDS ON ME but we KNOW you CAN'T FIX THIS!!! |
YOU'RE JUST SAYING WHAT YOU THINK I WANT TO HEAR |
BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO LEAVE |
JUST! LIKE! EVERYONE!! ELSE!!! |
YOU'RE TRYING TO TRICK ME!!!! |
YOU'RE TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO LETTING YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME AND LEAVE ME ALL ALONE AGAIN!!! |
YOU THINK I'M STUPID AND YOU THINK YOU CAN-- |
