1. Do you know who he is?Copy !req
2. Who he really is?Copy !req
3. Shadow Moon...Copy !req
4. You're my man now.Copy !req
5. You've gotten yourself
mixed upCopy !req
6. in some really weird shit,
Shadow.Copy !req
7. You shouldn't
trust him. Grimnir. Don't trust him.Copy !req
8. Trying to start a war,
Glad-O-War?Copy !req
9. We're at war already
and we're losing.Copy !req
10. Who are you?Copy !req
11. You wouldn't
believe me if I told you.Copy !req
12. What should I believe?Copy !req
13. - What's today?
- Wednesday.Copy !req
14. Today's my day.Copy !req
15. This is all too big.Copy !req
16. Too much going on at once.Copy !req
17. We should start with a story.Copy !req
18. Oh, Jesus, Nancy!Copy !req
19. I'm gonna tell you a story.Copy !req
20. Haven't got time for a story.
Just do the fucking work, huh?Copy !req
21. Let me tell
a goddamned story!Copy !req
22. I got a good one.Copy !req
23. Real good.Copy !req
24. Once upon a time...Copy !req
25. See? It sounds good already.Copy !req
26. You're hooked.Copy !req
27. Just get on with it, huh?Copy !req
28. Once upon a time,Copy !req
29. there was a fucking queen.Copy !req
30. She had it all,Copy !req
31. the glory, the power.Copy !req
32. Worshippers, eager to give
and grateful to receive.Copy !req
33. Why?Copy !req
34. Because she had the gift
of the gift.Copy !req
35. The blessing of blessings,
hers to bestow.Copy !req
36. And her place of worship?Copy !req
37. Well, that was the place to be.Copy !req
38. THAT was the goddamn shit.Copy !req
39. It was
good fucking times.Copy !req
40. Kings didn't like that.Copy !req
41. Kings came one after the otherCopy !req
42. to knock her off her throne.Copy !req
43. They didn't last long.Copy !req
44. When the queen
was done with you...Copy !req
45. ..you were gone.Copy !req
46. Worse ways to go.Copy !req
47. Clothes and hair
change with the times,Copy !req
48. but this queen...Copy !req
49. .. she kept the party going.Copy !req
50. But the kings,Copy !req
51. they kept coming after her.Copy !req
52. Our queen's power,Copy !req
53. which is the power
of all women,Copy !req
54. the power of rebirth
and creation.Copy !req
55. It makes some men kneel in aweCopy !req
56. and give gifts.Copy !req
57. But it makes other men angry.Copy !req
58. And you know it -Copy !req
59. anger gets shit done.Copy !req
60. So men did what they do.Copy !req
61. They took from her that power.
Took them a long time.Copy !req
62. Took them guns and knives
and sharp dicks.Copy !req
63. But they grabbed the powerCopy !req
64. they were too scared
for a queen to have.Copy !req
65. They laundered itCopy !req
66. and gave it to men.Copy !req
67. They forced our queen
into the back seat.Copy !req
68. The remaining flight timeCopy !req
69. to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport
is 11 hours.Copy !req
70. So sit back, relax and enjoy...Copy !req
71. "Where is the library?"Copy !req
72. "Where is the library?"Copy !req
73. Now, our queen,
she made her peace with change.Copy !req
74. She told herselfCopy !req
75. the back seat's
got cushions too.Copy !req
76. She told herselfCopy !req
77. she was playing the gameCopy !req
78. by staying in it.Copy !req
79. Excuse me.Copy !req
80. Do you know
where the bathroom is?Copy !req
81. There's one in the back.Copy !req
82. I don't see it.Copy !req
83. Show me.Copy !req
84. Where did 30F run off to?Copy !req
85. So long
as I'm still alive...Copy !req
86. ..I can adapt.Copy !req
87. So you can
let everyone back homeCopy !req
88. know where you're going.Copy !req
89. I still know what I am.Copy !req
90. But America tooCopy !req
91. can take issue
with a woman of power.Copy !req
92. It finds ways
of cutting her down,Copy !req
93. of punishing her
for her daring to be.Copy !req
94. And our girl...Copy !req
95. .. after a while, even she forgot
there's a queen inside.Copy !req
96. ISIS fighters
destroyed the ancient temple,Copy !req
97. a once popular
tourist attractionCopy !req
98. recently denounced
by ISIS militantsCopy !req
99. as "the necessary destruction
of idolatrous structuresCopy !req
100. "in accordance
with Islamic law."Copy !req
101. And there's no endCopy !req
102. to the cruelty of men
threatened by strong women.Copy !req
103. So what's a queen to do?Copy !req
104. She gets on her knees.Copy !req
105. She takes
what she don't want toCopy !req
106. and we watch
in easy fucking judgementCopy !req
107. and pretend we'd do a single thing
different in her shoes.Copy !req
108. Hm.Copy !req
109. I hear they blew up your altar.Copy !req
110. Darn.Copy !req
111. I have a new one to offer you.Copy !req
112. Aren't you the lucky duck?Copy !req
113. Oh!Copy !req
114. Boop.Copy !req
115. OK.Copy !req
116. Worship
is a volume business.Copy !req
117. Whosoever has the most followers
wins the game.Copy !req
118. Want to play?Copy !req
119. Life is long
when you got regret.Copy !req
120. A moment can last foreverCopy !req
121. when you can see
how it should have gone.Copy !req
122. You get the moral to this story?Copy !req
123. I don't know.Copy !req
124. Don't compromise?Copy !req
125. Or, uh...Copy !req
126. .. don't cut deals
with treacherous motherfuckers.Copy !req
127. What? No!Copy !req
128. Fuck, no!Copy !req
129. Did you get this one
off the discount rack?Copy !req
130. Where are you getting in lifeCopy !req
131. without some fucking compromise?Copy !req
132. The moral is...Copy !req
133. Get myself a queen.Copy !req
134. You goddamn right.Copy !req
135. You better get yourself a queen.Copy !req
136. 'Cause you just went and killed
one of theirs.Copy !req
137. That's one of mine.
I killed one of mine.Copy !req
138. Not anymore.Copy !req
139. Not in a LONG while
has he been one of yours.Copy !req
140. You separate a head from a body,Copy !req
141. that is strike fucking one
across the bow.Copy !req
142. They ain't gonna
take that lightly.Copy !req
143. Good - wait till
he sees strike two,Copy !req
144. when I get myself that queen.Copy !req
145. What about you?Copy !req
146. Spill blood together,
that binds you to him for life.Copy !req
147. - Yeah, the fuck it does.
- Fuck it doesn't.Copy !req
148. - Now, we have a compact.
- Yeah. Till you piss me off.Copy !req
149. You've just gone
and pissed me off, OK?Copy !req
150. So I think that violates
our agreement.Copy !req
151. What are you so pissed off
about?Copy !req
152. You just cut off
your friend's head!Copy !req
153. OK?Copy !req
154. Now you're getting a suit madeCopy !req
155. like you're
the goddamn Godfather?Copy !req
156. Who the fuck
did you think he was?Copy !req
157. You're getting one too.Copy !req
158. We have to be presentable,
where we're going.Copy !req
159. Fuck you!Copy !req
160. Look, I don't even
know your name!Copy !req
161. Hey, Mr Wednesday?
Who I met on a Wednesday.Copy !req
162. I don't think you understand
the concept of 'pissed off'.Copy !req
163. It's angry.Copy !req
164. Oh, I know what pissed off is.
I'm pissed off!Copy !req
165. So as a pissed-off person,
I'm aware.Copy !req
166. You're confused.Copy !req
167. You got questions,
but you don't know how to ask them.Copy !req
168. Do not confuse confusion
for anger.Copy !req
169. I'm not confused.Copy !req
170. I'm VERY confused.Copy !req
171. You're confused.
And you're intrigued.Copy !req
172. Your wife came back from the dead.
Why wouldn't you be?Copy !req
173. If you denied it,
I'd call you a liar.Copy !req
174. - A bigger one than I am.
- Ha!Copy !req
175. And that's a very big liar.Copy !req
176. Hm...Copy !req
177. The terms of our agreement
are intact.Copy !req
178. You're not angry, Shadow.Copy !req
179. But you do have to start
getting angry.Copy !req
180. Angry... gets shit done.Copy !req
181. Try that on for size.Copy !req
182. Is this Wisconsin?Copy !req
183. That's our NEXT stop.Copy !req
184. Welcome to Kentucky.Copy !req
185. Now, be nice to the lady we're visiting,
but not too nice.Copy !req
186. She might take a fancy to you
and that would not be good.Copy !req
187. Why? She an ex-girlfriend
of yours?Copy !req
188. Not for all the little plastic toys
in China.Copy !req
189. No, she's...Copy !req
190. She's something else.Copy !req
191. We might not be welcome
at first.Copy !req
192. Ah... in the presence of a queen.Copy !req
193. Huh. Forgot it was Easter.Copy !req
194. Well, it is Sunday,
16th of April,Copy !req
195. seven days
after the vernal equinox.Copy !req
196. - I love Easter.
- Oh, many do.Copy !req
197. Some for the rabbits,
some for the resurrection.Copy !req
198. Most think of the food.Copy !req
199. All that fucking sugar, huh?Copy !req
200. They don't think
of the truth of the day.Copy !req
201. And why would they?Copy !req
202. But, yeah, you could...Copy !req
203. ..you could call this Easter.Copy !req
204. Or we could call it
what it really is.Copy !req
205. A pagan ritual, the celebration
of the beginning of spring,Copy !req
206. dating back about 12,000 years.Copy !req
207. So when you see children
dipping eggsCopy !req
208. in vinegar the colours
of their favourite toys,Copy !req
209. when you see the nation's youth
fleeing south for copulation,Copy !req
210. or when they spread their seedCopy !req
211. over that sinking mass
that is the great state of Florida,Copy !req
212. they all...Copy !req
213. .. without realising it,Copy !req
214. do it in her name.Copy !req
215. Ostara.Copy !req
216. Hello!Copy !req
217. Oh, it is a treasure and a treatCopy !req
218. to welcome you all to my homeCopy !req
219. and on my day,
my favourite day of the year.Copy !req
220. When all is lavender and dew,Copy !req
221. reborn and restored.Copy !req
222. - When we celebrate...
- Hello, Shadow.Copy !req
223. Hey.Copy !req
224. Do I know you?Copy !req
225. Yes, you do.Copy !req
226. .. and then move on.Copy !req
227. I think it's important
for us all to rememberCopy !req
228. what this day is
really, truly about, which is...Copy !req
229. Ooh, for Christ's sake.Copy !req
230. Praise the Lords.Copy !req
231. Please help yourself
and those less fortunate to the buffet.Copy !req
232. I got plenty of honey ham.Copy !req
233. But for those of you
who do not partake of pork...Copy !req
234. That's...Copy !req
235. .. Easter?Copy !req
236. Because people
believe in Easter.Copy !req
237. Believing is seeing.Copy !req
238. Gods are real
if you believe in them.Copy !req
239. Gods.Copy !req
240. Uh-huh.Copy !req
241. Fuck me.Copy !req
242. - Alright, so...
- Hm?Copy !req
243. That's... Jesus Christ.Copy !req
244. A Jesus Christ.Copy !req
245. Some Jesus Christ.Copy !req
246. For every belief, every branch,
every denomination,Copy !req
247. they see a different face
when they close their eyes to pray.Copy !req
248. So who are you?Copy !req
249. Like I said, you wouldn't
believe in me if I told you.Copy !req
250. Happy Easter, you old fraud.Copy !req
251. And a fair Ostara to you.Copy !req
252. What the hell
are you doing here?Copy !req
253. I'm not here for Christ's sake,
but all our sakes.Copy !req
254. You look divine.Copy !req
255. How the hell else should I look?Copy !req
256. Say hello to Ostara.Copy !req
257. Hey, Ostara.Copy !req
258. Oh, he's a blusher.Copy !req
259. - Wednesday.
- Mm-hm?Copy !req
260. - You brought me a blusher.
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
261. And he's pink chocolate.
How perfectly wonderful.Copy !req
262. What's he called?Copy !req
263. Shadow Moon.Copy !req
264. So, how's tricks?Copy !req
265. Asks the tricksiest rabbit
I know.Copy !req
266. Well, I was hoping
to enlist your assistance.Copy !req
267. Stop wasting time.Copy !req
268. I can't be bothered,
so don't you bother me about it.Copy !req
269. Shadow? That's a sweet name.Copy !req
270. Now, now, now, now.
Leave him be, huh?Copy !req
271. Why do they call you Shadow,
sweetness?Copy !req
272. The way I followed my mama
around.Copy !req
273. She didn't know
what else to call me.Copy !req
274. Well, I deal in sugar, Sugar,Copy !req
275. and you're the sweetest damn thing
I've ever seen.Copy !req
276. This is the boy
that has everyone so upset?Copy !req
277. Ah, you heard?Copy !req
278. Well, I keep my ears pricked up.Copy !req
279. Come here, sweet Shadow.Copy !req
280. Allow me to impart some wisdom.Copy !req
281. There's far too many
secret societies out there.Copy !req
282. They have no loyalty
and no love.Copy !req
283. They range from barely competent
to deeply dangerous.Copy !req
284. - You don't sound like one of us.
- I'm not one of you.Copy !req
285. Oh, yes, you are.Copy !req
286. You're as forgotten, unloved
and unremembered as any of us.Copy !req
287. I'm doing just fine.Copy !req
288. Happy Easter. Christ is risen.
Hello, boys.Copy !req
289. Well, you were
before these assholes were born.Copy !req
290. Until the day that Jesus ChristCopy !req
291. crawled out
of his stinky old grave,Copy !req
292. folks would paint eggs with
dandelions and paprika for her,Copy !req
293. to exchange as gifts
at the first sign of spring,Copy !req
294. in her name... Ostara.Copy !req
295. They still do. They still do!Copy !req
296. On my festival days,Copy !req
297. they still feast
on eggs and rabbit and candy.Copy !req
298. - And they do it in my name.
- Serious question, my dear.Copy !req
299. I have no doubt that millions
upon millions exchange tokensCopy !req
300. and observe the rituals
of your festival,Copy !req
301. all down to the hunting
of the hidden eggs,Copy !req
302. but does anybody pray
in your name?Copy !req
303. Do they say it in worship?Copy !req
304. Oh, they mouth your name,Copy !req
305. mm, but they have no idea
what it means, none whatsoever.Copy !req
306. Same every spring - you do
all the work, he gets the prayers.Copy !req
307. What has gotten into you?Copy !req
308. I feel terrible about this.Copy !req
309. No. No!Copy !req
310. It's her day.
You took it.Copy !req
311. You crucified her day.Copy !req
312. When they started following you,
everybody else got burned.Copy !req
313. In YOUR name.Copy !req
314. Happy fucking Easter!Copy !req
315. Uh...Copy !req
316. N...Copy !req
317. - A word.
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
318. You shut your mouth before
I slap it off your goddamn face!Copy !req
319. Oh... Oh. How dare you?Copy !req
320. How dare you?Copy !req
321. How dare you come into my homeCopy !req
322. and uncork
all over Jesus of NazarethCopy !req
323. and all the other Jesuses
who died on the crossCopy !req
324. and even the ones who didn't -
how dare you!Copy !req
325. These are kind, generous menCopy !req
326. and they've come to celebrate
their day.Copy !req
327. My day.Copy !req
328. God damn it, OUR day!Copy !req
329. And you come in here
and disrespect them?Copy !req
330. - They are gods, for God's sake!
- They're sons of.Copy !req
331. They're men who walk the streets.
They shake hands.Copy !req
332. - They take shits.
- Oh!Copy !req
333. What I'm doing here
is of no concern to them.Copy !req
334. This is your day, love.Copy !req
335. Always has been, always will be.Copy !req
336. Just don't try to tell me
that THEY all worship you.Copy !req
337. I know they don't.
I'm not a fool.Copy !req
338. No, you're not.Copy !req
339. I am.Copy !req
340. An old one.Copy !req
341. They killed Vulcan.Copy !req
342. They killed my friend.Copy !req
343. He pledged his allegiance to meCopy !req
344. and forged a blade...Copy !req
345. ..in my honour.Copy !req
346. And they killed him for it.Copy !req
347. The NEW gods.Copy !req
348. That's why we need you.Copy !req
349. That's why we need Spring
to fight them,Copy !req
350. to show them who WE are.Copy !req
351. Oh, they will worship you.Copy !req
352. They will...Copy !req
353. .. worship you
if you make them pray.Copy !req
354. They'll pray to Him.Copy !req
355. But he's not
the goddess of spring.Copy !req
356. Shadow, my boy,Copy !req
357. I need a word
with the fair lady here alone.Copy !req
358. Help yourself to a drink.
Two, tops.Copy !req
359. Still need you sharp.Copy !req
360. You've been avoiding me.Copy !req
361. Hm?Copy !req
362. My mistake.Copy !req
363. I used the phone.Copy !req
364. Worst thing you can do
to someone is call them.Copy !req
365. I've been occupied.Copy !req
366. Yes, you have.Copy !req
367. Impressive reach metrics.
Deep penetration.Copy !req
368. Total unique impressions
is what sells,Copy !req
369. and no-one leaves an impression
more unique than you.Copy !req
370. You've done well with me.Copy !req
371. VERY well.Copy !req
372. Now it's my turn
to do well by you.Copy !req
373. I can take care of you.Copy !req
374. Hm.Copy !req
375. Hands free, honeypot.Copy !req
376. I have no intention
of spending the rest of my daysCopy !req
377. feeding your soul
from the vagina nebula.Copy !req
378. But...Copy !req
379. .. if you point that gun
in the right direction...Copy !req
380. Hm?Copy !req
381. You're wishing
you had no business with me.Copy !req
382. But you do.Copy !req
383. You owe.Copy !req
384. I'm calling it in.Copy !req
385. Is this it?Copy !req
386. How'd you find it?Copy !req
387. Shadow's here.Copy !req
388. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
389. Are they all... Jesuses?Copy !req
390. Right, of course,
'cause...Copy !req
391. .. Jesus is real.Copy !req
392. Hm.Copy !req
393. God damn it.Copy !req
394. Hm...Copy !req
395. Did you always believe?Copy !req
396. Did I always believe?Copy !req
397. I AM belief, Shadow.Copy !req
398. I don't know how not to believe.Copy !req
399. I don't think I know how to.Copy !req
400. I think maybe I...Copy !req
401. ..I don't really believe.Copy !req
402. You know, I don't really believe
any of this.Copy !req
403. And maybe everything
that's happened so farCopy !req
404. is just some kind
of vivid dream.Copy !req
405. Um...Copy !req
406. I don't even know
if I can believe that.Copy !req
407. Even if you don't believe,Copy !req
408. you cannot travel
in any other wayCopy !req
409. than the road...Copy !req
410. .. your senses show you.Copy !req
411. And you must walk that road...Copy !req
412. ..to the end.Copy !req
413. Starve them
into submission?Copy !req
414. They used to starve themselves.Copy !req
415. 40 days.Copy !req
416. And not out of worship,
but out of necessity.Copy !req
417. Hunger was an ancient form
of prayerCopy !req
418. and they've never been hungry.Copy !req
419. I mean, they just pluck their food
out of the freezer,Copy !req
420. throw it in the microwave,
watch it spin around.Copy !req
421. Never once have they
had to work for it,Copy !req
422. give thanks for itCopy !req
423. or pray to you for it.Copy !req
424. Make them pray.Copy !req
425. Let them remind themselvesCopy !req
426. it was a queen
that gave them the harvest.Copy !req
427. Oh, they'll be hungry,
but then they'll turn to youCopy !req
428. and they will pray to Ostara
once again.Copy !req
429. She withholds, she returns.Copy !req
430. Prayer, reward.Copy !req
431. The ancient contract.Copy !req
432. Holy shit.Copy !req
433. Hold that thought.Copy !req
434. Come on.Copy !req
435. Oh!Copy !req
436. A dead girl?Copy !req
437. I have a house full of guests
and a garage full of caterersCopy !req
438. and you brought me a dead girl?Copy !req
439. Hi.Copy !req
440. - You have a lovely home.
- Don't stoop.Copy !req
441. Somebody tried to raise you
with refined manners, dead girl,Copy !req
442. and failed.Copy !req
443. Let me see you.Copy !req
444. She doesn't want to be dead.Copy !req
445. Dead gets a bad rap.Copy !req
446. I don't want her to be dead.Copy !req
447. - Reason being?
- Selfish reasons.Copy !req
448. Can you do that?Copy !req
449. Professional courtesy.
Colleague to colleague?Copy !req
450. You all think I'm like you.
I am not like you.Copy !req
451. You, I'm particularly not like.Copy !req
452. And that doesn't translate
into courtesies owed,Copy !req
453. professional or otherwise.Copy !req
454. A favour, then.Copy !req
455. You do owe me that.Copy !req
456. Who were you, exactly?Copy !req
457. I was, uh, Laura Moon.Copy !req
458. Um, I'm still Laura Moon.Copy !req
459. Laura Moon.Copy !req
460. Shadow Moon?Copy !req
461. Mm, we know he's here.
We know who he's here with.Copy !req
462. Best he doesn't know I'm here.Copy !req
463. Best he don't know
who I'm here with.Copy !req
464. How do you feel?Copy !req
465. I don't mean existentially.Copy !req
466. I mean physically.
Sensationally.Copy !req
467. Are you IN your body,
but not of it?Copy !req
468. Ah, I'm in my body. I feel it.Copy !req
469. Death hurts.Copy !req
470. I mean, mostly that hurt
is just absences of things.Copy !req
471. I'm thirsty all the time.Copy !req
472. Fucking parched.Copy !req
473. And... cold.Copy !req
474. Cold in my bones.Copy !req
475. Living in her own apocalypse.Copy !req
476. Did, um... did Jesus go through
his own apocalypseCopy !req
477. before you brought him
back to life?Copy !req
478. Oh, I didn't bring Jesus
back to life, no.Copy !req
479. He was dreamed back to life
on my day.Copy !req
480. A very narrow sliver
in that Venn diagram.Copy !req
481. This is your day.Copy !req
482. The vernal equinox,
the light of the world.Copy !req
483. Rebirth, renewal, resurrection.Copy !req
484. Can you do it?Copy !req
485. I can. I have.Copy !req
486. I normally wouldn't.Copy !req
487. But today
isn't a normally kind of day.Copy !req
488. I don't resurrect, I re-life.Copy !req
489. Life has always been my giftCopy !req
490. to re-gift.Copy !req
491. Well, good.Copy !req
492. Good, because as it turns out,
I have a lot to live forCopy !req
493. and it's so close I can feel it.Copy !req
494. It's the only thing
I can feel, so...Copy !req
495. I would really like
to not be dead anymore,Copy !req
496. so that I can feel it fully.Copy !req
497. So...Copy !req
498. ..how does this work?Copy !req
499. How it works is I find out
exactly why you are deadCopy !req
500. and we go from there.Copy !req
501. Well, I don't know
why this happened.Copy !req
502. I mean, I know how,
but I don't know why.Copy !req
503. Come. Let me take a look.Copy !req
504. I'm starting to get an idea.Copy !req
505. Folks have
always been curiousCopy !req
506. about that exact moment
of death.Copy !req
507. As if the differenceCopy !req
508. between one side of that divide
and the otherCopy !req
509. could be quantified.Copy !req
510. Some believe that you can
develop a last image seenCopy !req
511. off their retinas.Copy !req
512. Like a photograph.Copy !req
513. Death is usually the last enemy.Copy !req
514. Right, but not for, uh...
not for Jesus Christ.Copy !req
515. No, not for you.Copy !req
516. And you're no Jesus Christ.Copy !req
517. Are you still working
for the man?Copy !req
518. I was.Copy !req
519. About that,
we have a problem here.Copy !req
520. A... a problem with me?Copy !req
521. Oh, no. Not with you, you.Copy !req
522. You are perfectly lovely,Copy !req
523. but you dead,
yes, is a problem for me.Copy !req
524. But you said
you could re-gift the gift.Copy !req
525. I need the gift.
I need to be alive.Copy !req
526. I can't help you with your dead.Copy !req
527. You are dead
of a different kind.Copy !req
528. Fuck.Copy !req
529. How am I dead different?Copy !req
530. Laura Moon...Copy !req
531. ..you were killed by a god.Copy !req
532. I can't interfere with that.Copy !req
533. That is a dead without undoing.Copy !req
534. Not by my hand, anyway.Copy !req
535. Oh, shit.Copy !req
536. I have other guests. Good luck.Copy !req
537. I was killed...Copy !req
538. ..by a god?Copy !req
539. Which... fucking... god?Copy !req
540. Never saw you look
quite so pretty before.Copy !req
541. - Happy Easter, Easter.
- Oh... and to you.Copy !req
542. I could hardly wait to keep our date
this lovely Easter morning.Copy !req
543. And your heart beat fast
as you came through that door.Copy !req
544. Um...Copy !req
545. - We had a date?
- Standing.Copy !req
546. - Our marshmallow peepshow.
- Oh.Copy !req
547. Candy cream eggs, cellophane grass,
bunnies and duckies.Copy !req
548. We popularised the pagan.
We practically invented brunch.Copy !req
549. We built this holiday.Copy !req
550. You and me.Copy !req
551. We're a couple of swells.Copy !req
552. Oh, have you met my sheep?Copy !req
553. Which fucking god?Copy !req
554. ME fucking god.
I ran you off the road.Copy !req
555. See, here I thought I knocked
the gear shift with my shoulder.Copy !req
556. All this time,
I've been blaming myself.Copy !req
557. Now I have somebody else
to blame, right?Copy !req
558. That's right, I killed you!Copy !req
559. - I killed you fucking dead!
- No!Copy !req
560. You are not a god!Copy !req
561. She said I was killed by a god.Copy !req
562. You're many things,
but you're not a god.Copy !req
563. Which fucking god?Copy !req
564. I'll squeeze them straight out
of the sac, like shucking peas.Copy !req
565. I swear to Jesus.Copy !req
566. He's right outside.Copy !req
567. You... you know which god.Copy !req
568. Of course I know which god!Copy !req
569. I want to hear you
fucking say it, so say it.Copy !req
570. Wednesday.Copy !req
571. Fuck that guy.Copy !req
572. Why?Copy !req
573. Why me? Why murder me?Copy !req
574. You weren't murdered,
you were sacrificed.Copy !req
575. Shadow, right?Copy !req
576. So why does Shadow matter?Copy !req
577. He doesn't!Copy !req
578. He's nothing.Copy !req
579. He's no-one who just...Copy !req
580. .. just happens to be the guy.Copy !req
581. When we robbed the casino,Copy !req
582. did Wednesday
fuck up my perfect plan?Copy !req
583. It wasn't a perfect plan.Copy !req
584. Didn't account for
divine intervention, did you?Copy !req
585. The whole fucking time?Copy !req
586. The robbery,
Shadow going to jail, me dying...Copy !req
587. Act of god?Copy !req
588. Just fucking with us
to fuck with us?Copy !req
589. What do you think gods do?Copy !req
590. They do
what they've always done.Copy !req
591. They fuck with us.Copy !req
592. They fuck with all of us.Copy !req
593. Just don't take it personally.Copy !req
594. I don't.Copy !req
595. He needed your man.Copy !req
596. Needed him to be in a placeCopy !req
597. where he had nothing left
in the world.Copy !req
598. Nothing to lose, 'cause...Copy !req
599. .. he'd already lost everything.Copy !req
600. What does Wednesday
have to lose?Copy !req
601. They're here.Copy !req
602. Is he here?Copy !req
603. Is who here?Copy !req
604. Oh, He with a capital H?Copy !req
605. I've got a gaggle of them
inside.Copy !req
606. One of them has got
a baby dinosaur.Copy !req
607. That's not the 'he'
I was referring to.Copy !req
608. The 'he' I was referring to
was... Wednesday.Copy !req
609. Oh, he was here,
trying to enlist meCopy !req
610. in some sort of something
he was brewing.Copy !req
611. What are the ingredients
of that brew?Copy !req
612. I dismissed him
before hearing him out.Copy !req
613. I'm doing peachy.Copy !req
614. So why would I help him?Copy !req
615. That's right.
A god has to be exotic.Copy !req
616. She has to be...Copy !req
617. ..a peach.Copy !req
618. And Wednesday...Copy !req
619. .. well, I suppose he's a lemon.Copy !req
620. You're an old god new again.Copy !req
621. That's what we offer.Copy !req
622. That's what we represent.Copy !req
623. You feel
you've been treated unfairly?Copy !req
624. I feel misrepresented
in the media.Copy !req
625. Put a pillow over that feelingCopy !req
626. and bear down
until it stops kicking.Copy !req
627. St Nick
took the same deal you did.Copy !req
628. The only reason
why you're relevant todayCopy !req
629. is because Easter
is a Christian holiday.Copy !req
630. It's religious Darwinism.Copy !req
631. Adapt and survive.Copy !req
632. What we have achieved together,
you and I,Copy !req
633. is no small feat,Copy !req
634. now that we're living
in an atheist world.Copy !req
635. Look at you.Copy !req
636. Squawk the squawk.Copy !req
637. In your Easter bonnet,Copy !req
638. with all the frills upon it,Copy !req
639. you should be thrilled,
overjoyedCopy !req
640. that anyone believes in anything
that doesn't have a screenCopy !req
641. anymore.Copy !req
642. What happens if they all decideCopy !req
643. that God doesn't exist?Copy !req
644. What if they decide
God DOES exist?Copy !req
645. Whose god?Copy !req
646. They're not all
going to choose just one.Copy !req
647. Well, it doesn't matter.Copy !req
648. Plenty of worship to go around,
once worship gets redistributed.Copy !req
649. WE are the distributors.Copy !req
650. The platform
and the delivery mechanism.Copy !req
651. We control the story.Copy !req
652. We control the flow.Copy !req
653. We ARE the flow.Copy !req
654. What you offer
is existential crisis aversion.Copy !req
655. Don't look over there,
look over here.Copy !req
656. Don't listen to that,
listen to this.Copy !req
657. You provide a product,
an innovative distraction,Copy !req
658. and you keep innovating it
and you keep providing it.Copy !req
659. The beauty of what we do
is we only need inspire.Copy !req
660. Hm. You don't have the juice.Copy !req
661. And don't act like
your fucking rent boy hereCopy !req
662. is your disciple.Copy !req
663. Here's the thing...
you're old as fuck.Copy !req
664. Things are never going backCopy !req
665. to the way that they were.Copy !req
666. The times, they are a-changing.Copy !req
667. You can't fight progress.Copy !req
668. Then why are you here?Copy !req
669. Why do I matter?Copy !req
670. We're here for her.Copy !req
671. We're here for my friend.Copy !req
672. And you don't matter.Copy !req
673. Not really. Not anymore.Copy !req
674. You could have, but...Copy !req
675. People create gods when
they wonder why things happen.Copy !req
676. Do you know why things happen?
Because gods make them happen.Copy !req
677. You want to know
how to make good things happen?Copy !req
678. Be good to your god.Copy !req
679. You give a little,
you get a little.Copy !req
680. The simplicity of that bargain
has always been appealing.Copy !req
681. That's why you're here
and that's precisely why I matter.Copy !req
682. You only matter
in matters of war.Copy !req
683. And there's not going
to be a war.Copy !req
684. We have the guns.Copy !req
685. We have the firepower.Copy !req
686. You have the swords
and knives...Copy !req
687. .. and hammers and stone axes.Copy !req
688. We fight, we win.Copy !req
689. We don't fight... we win.Copy !req
690. You die out either way.Copy !req
691. You are
the passenger pigeons and thylacines.Copy !req
692. Nobody cares about you.Copy !req
693. It's either
going to be a bloodbathCopy !req
694. or we'll wait you outCopy !req
695. and get the whole thing
without a fuss.Copy !req
696. My message to you...Copy !req
697. .. don't fight.Copy !req
698. I don't have to fight.Copy !req
699. I have faith.Copy !req
700. I dedicate these deaths
to Ostara.Copy !req
701. Which deaths?Copy !req
702. Do you have faith, Shadow?Copy !req
703. What are you?Copy !req
704. Do you know me?Copy !req
705. Do you know what I am?Copy !req
706. Do you want to know my name?Copy !req
707. Tell me.Copy !req
708. This is what I am called.Copy !req
709. I am called Glad-O-War,
Grim, Raider and Third.Copy !req
710. I am One-Eyed.Copy !req
711. I am also called Highest
and True-Guesser.Copy !req
712. I am Grimnir and the Hooded One.Copy !req
713. I am All-Father,
Gondlir Wand-bearer.Copy !req
714. I have as many names
as there are winds,Copy !req
715. as many titles
as there are ways to die!Copy !req
716. My ravens are Huginn and Muninn.
Thought and Memory!Copy !req
717. My wolves are Freki and Geri!Copy !req
718. My horse is the gallowed.Copy !req
719. I am ODIN!Copy !req
720. Odin?Copy !req
721. Odin!Copy !req
722. And you are Ostara of the dawn.Copy !req
723. Show them who you are.Copy !req
724. What have you done?Copy !req
725. You wanted a war,
Glad-of-War?Copy !req
726. You have one.Copy !req
727. Be glad.Copy !req
728. It will be the war you die in.Copy !req
729. Tell the believers
and the non-believers.Copy !req
730. Tell them
we've taken the spring.Copy !req
731. They can have it back...Copy !req
732. .. when they pray for it.Copy !req
733. Do you believe?Copy !req
734. I believe.Copy !req
735. What do you believe, Shadow?Copy !req
736. Everything.Copy !req
737. I'd like to have a word
with my husband.Copy !req
738. Excuse me.Copy !req
739. Do you know
where the bathroom is?Copy !req
