Cute Boy: Remember me?
Joan Girardi: Why all the familiar looks? Doing the greatest hits, or are you getting a little pleased with yourself?
Cute Boy: You see me the way you want to see me Joan. Like right now you’re mad at me… maybe you feel safer being mad at me when I look like this.
Joan Girardi: You have alot to answer for buddy! No one asks to be born!
Cute Boy: …
Joan Girardi: So we all get to die, and then everyone we love dies?
Cute Boy: Yeah.
Joan Girardi: And… and that’s good for you?
Cute Boy: Joan, there’s nothing about death that I can say that would make sense to you.
Joan Girardi: Alot of what happens here really sucks, so much for your… perfect system
Cute Boy: …
Joan Girardi: Can you see me being really mad at you right now?
Cute Boy: Yes.
Joan Girardi: Why does it have to be so hard?
Cute Boy: What specifically?
Joan Girardi: Being alive, let’s start there.
Cute Boy: You wish you weren’t alive?
Joan Girardi: No! I… I don’t know. I wish… it didn’t… hurt so much.
Cute Boy: It hurts because you feel it Joan… because you’re alive. You love people, that generates alot of power, alot of energy. The same kind of energy that binds atoms together, we’ve all seen what happens when you try to pry them apart.
Joan Girardi: So, if I don’t get attached to people then… it won’t hurt so much?
Cute Boy: No it’s in your nature to get attached to people, I put that in the recipe. It’s when you guys try to ignore that… when you try to go it alone, that’s when it gets ugly. It’s Hell.

Goth God: I wouldn’t worry about self defense.
Joan: Then why the psycho mission because I didn’t sign up for martyrdom.
God: Heh! Joan. Have I ever endangered you?
Joan:Well, you never told me to ask evil out on a date before.
God: Evil is not a word to use lightly. It’s only the darkest end of a broad spectrum.
Joan: You mean like light?
God: Exactly like light. Nobody is born in total darkness. Most of you live on the grey end of the spectrum, a lie here and there, jealousy, wrath. But you only get to absolute evil by doing one thing after another till eventually you’re transformed.
Joan: Like…into a monster.
God: A monster is a creature with no consciousness. They’re extremely rare, but they do exist.
Joan: Have you watched the news? I’m not sure they’re so rare.
God: Almost everybody has some light somewhere. And light is always worth fighting for.
Joan: Ok. So I’m supposed to find Ramsey’s…light.
God: I just want you to listen and observe. Be present.
Soooo… can somebody fight for the little candle light in me?
