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!

Therapy as an Alternative to Jail Time
Kelsey
Yesterday, at the wedding reception of the daughter of the newly appointed Minister of tourism, Silas Nda, two local men, Beast Buthelezi and Boetie de Wett, destroyed the event in a racist brawl. You're being charged with malicious damage to property and disrupting the peace. And Minister Nda here intends...
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!
Beast
I am not racist!
Boetie
Nor me. I can speak Zulu. He's an idiot.
[subtitled]
Beast
And I find white ladies sexy.
Minister Nda
But the country and the rest of the world believe that you are racist!
Kelsey
So you are going to walk together to prove that you can get along.
Beast
We hate each other!
Boetie
I hate him.
Kelsey
Would you rather stay here in jail?

Revelations and Betrayals in Death Race
Lists
Lucas! It always was you.
[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.

Reality Show Dynamics in South Africa
Kelsey
Well, are our heroes just too far gone to get over their cheap racist selves, or will they kiss and make up? And if anyone comes across Beast or Boetie, please play along.

Rules for the Journey Ahead
Kelsey
Okay. The rules. You may not catch a lift on anything. You have to walk. And you must stay away from all the major roads. This is a map of your route. I'm sure you'll find a picturesque. Wallets and cellphones.
[hands Boetie a map]
Beast
Huh?!
Kelsey
Mm-hmm.
Boetie
You want us to do this thing without money?!
[as he and Beast take out their wallets and cellphones]
Kelsey
Relax. This trip is on me. Thank you. Thank you. Here's R200 each.
[takes Beast's wallet and cellphone; takes Boetie's wallet and cellphone; hands Boetie and Beast some money]
Boetie
R200?! 200 bucks won't even fill this tank once! He's obese!
Minister Nda
Uh-uh! He's Beast!
Beast
Yeah, Minister!
Kelsey
You have to cross the finish line together as friends. This is not a race. It's a test.
Minister Nda
Yes, and my job is on the line.
Kelsey
And we have got spies out there to make sure that the two of you do not cheat.
Minister Nda
As Mandela says, "It's a long walk to freedom.
Beast
What is the price?
Kelsey
Hmm...
[considers this very carefully]
Boetie
You.
Kelsey
Well, you never know your luck. So we'll see you in Johannesburg, Gauteng. So good luck. Remember, this isn't a race. Bye! Well, go on.
[walks over to Beast and kisses him on the cheek, then walks over to Boetie and kisses him on the cheek]

Reality Show Promises Unity and Success
Kelsey
Minister, as a reality show, it is going to kick butt, I promise. And more to the point, it's going to work for essay tourism, and it's gonna work for you. Imagine how you're gonna impress the President. You'll be bringing black and white together in our rainbow nation. The most important thing they must not know is they are on television, and they must not know about the reality show.

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.
