Some Kind of Wonderful

Questioning Commitment and Identity

Watts She said she'd meet you here?

Keith Nelson Not in those words.

Watts In any words? Maybe she didn't have ID.

Keith Who doesn't have ID?

Watts Maybe she doesn't like you as much as you think.

Keith Maybe.

Watts Do you miss me, Keith? Do you miss not being around me?

Keith This isn't the third grade anymore.

Watts She doesn't love you. It's a joke. It's all a joke.

Keith How do you know?

[stern]

Watts I'd bet my hands on it.

Keith You don't wanna make that bet.

[drinks]

Watts Yeah, I do. I've been thinking a lot lately about you and me... and I came to a conclusion that I didn't want to deal with. But now that we've talked I can't hide it anymore. We'd get along much better if we didn't spend so much time together anymore.

Keith Why?

Watts Because I'm driving you crazy and you're driving me crazy. And I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me than have you see me and hate me. Cause I can't afford to have you hate me, Keith. The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums, and you. Adios.

[gets more emotional]

Keith Wait. Watts. Watts!

The Prophecy

Reflections on the First War and Betrayal

Simon I remember the First War, the way the sky burned, the faces of angels destroyed. I saw a third of Heaven's legion banished and the creation of Hell. I stood with my brothers and watched Lucifer fall. But now, my brothers are not brothers, and we have come here, where we are mortal, to steal the Dark Soul, not yet Lucifer's, to serve our cause. I have always obeyed, but I never thought the War would happen again.
