Salvation and Sacrifice in a Dark Setting
Marshal Gaza Welcome, pilgrims! I do not call you "prisoners". Nor do I call these "gallows". These are the gates of your salvation. For this sacrifice, God has chosen you as the lamb. Just as He chose me to help these righteous people spread justice across the land. I was once a sinner...
Angel Damn right, you were! Cherry Gaza. Y'all virgin eater!
Gaza You harlot of Babylon! You painted cat! You womb of vipers! The smell of Jezebel has no power over me now! When I saw the devil rise up from his grave...
Church Novice Sir, to whom do we plead our case?
Gaza St. Peter!
Church Novice You cannot hang us without a trial!
Gaza I can and I will! You've already been judged and found wanting in the eyes of the Lord. It's through His mercy that He brought you here to be cleansed, by the rope. Just as He cleansed me when I saw the devil rise from the gutter!

Minister Silas Nda To see you both go to jail for a long time!
Kelsey Unless you both agree to some therapy.
Beast Buthelezi Yes!
Boetie de Wett Therapy is good.
Beast We need therapy!
Boetie We are real stuff-ups.
Kelsey So this is what you're going to do. You are going to walk from here to Gauteng together.
Beast What?!
Boetie Walk?! That's 600 kilometers!
Minister Nda It's a penalty for your racist behavior!

[shocked, amazed and surprised]
Katrina Banks I knew you were hiding something from me, you son of a bitch!!
[very angry and furious; strikes Lucas in the face while scolding him for deceiving everyone, including her]
Lists We thought you were dead.
Goldberg So it's always been you behind the mask.
Carl Lucas Yeah, it's a long story. I'll tell you all about it later.
Katrina So what kind of deal did they make, huh?
Lucas I didn't have a choice. It was either them or me.
Goldberg Whatever it was, it included getting your face fixed. Don't bother to deny it, Lucas! I saw it. I was there.
Lucas Did you, Goldberg?! Or did you see what they wanted you to see? Or what you think they wanted you to see?
Katrina What did they want us to see?!
Lucas That is no deal.
Lists You never needed to make a deal. All you had to do was win five races in a row and you're free. Those are the rules.
Goldberg There are no rules in the cage, Lists. At least none that benefit the cage.
Lucas Believe what you want, Goldberg. But I don't think it's wise, right now, that they see us together.

Author's Fame and Critique in Dialogue
Gwen Lieber So aren't you the least bit curious on how I know so much about vampires?
Edgar Not really. I know who you are. You're Gwen Lieber, bestselling author of the Eternity Kiss series. First of which is about to be made into a major motion picture, coming soon to a theater near you.
Gwen Oh, you've heard of me. I'm flattered.
Edgar Well, don't be. Because your books suck.
Gwen I'm sorry you feel that way.
Edgar It doesn't really matter what I think. You've got millions of emo-goth sheep all over the world who eat up every last word of it, and keep coming back for more. I'm sure you've made quite a nice living off your supernatural bodice-rippers.
Gwen I'll have you know, I have gotten glowing reviews from every major periodical.
Edgar Bought and paid for, I'm sure. Just like me.
Gwen What the hell is your problem, Frog?!
Edgar My problem?! My problem is you glorify vampirism. You make being a vampire look... sexy.
Gwen Well... there has always been an element of eroticism in vampire mythology.
Edgar There's nothing sexy about being a member of the undead.
Gwen Well, perhaps I have made a serious mistake in coming to you.
Edgar If you came to me expecting me to ask for your autograph, then yes, you did. But if you came to me expecting me to destroy a squadron of vampires, that, I can do.
