you have the same album on cd, lp and an 8 track- an 8 track!!!
what about me? i need some space! not much, but just enough to find- to find- my- toothbrush. she flares up, losing control.
damn it, red- there's no room for me here. you can't just act like- suddenly, the alarm sounds. hellboy is elated.
no one here. no survivors. no bodies.
don't call me babe-
yes?
that's not the problem and you know it.
no. that's not the problem either-
not now, for god's sake!
what kind of creature?
damn it abe, just tell us!
abe, c'mon- cut the crap. she checks her boots, sticky with poo-
it is mine- -the gentle flame blooms into a cloud of fire. liz goes supernova. bammm!!!
red, red, this way- hellboy kicks the critters away, shooting again and again.
hb?? hb?? are you alright??
no one asked me anything. manning pulls a fistful of mail out and tosses it on a table.
polls- protests- hate mail- liz grabs a few letters and scans them.
the troll market- ?
get used to it. he might be here for good-
he has a nice voice.
i think you feel threatened.  hellboy stays behind- thinking- thinking real hard.
not just him- this whole thing you did. the tv- the reporters-
yes, red- absolutely. 'cause you did it without thinking- you just wanted to be in the public's eye- well- you're there- but so are we.
i will, but not now- i'm sorry if- i-
shh! give him a chance.
i read you, red. keep looking- manning is bored, looks at his watch.
red, turn on the "antiglamour" filter.  fairy folk use a spell called "glamour" to seem human and nice-
she eats them.
this is so beautiful-
back- go back- right now!!!
he's knocking on wood- summoning an
a forest spirit that lives in that tree. he's releasing it-
there shouldn't be a "next time" we're all part of the same team.
gosh, that was so sweet, so sad- it always gets me- red- there's something i need to-
no, i don't-
how do you know these things?
you're really liking this, aren't you?
it's a bad idea. all of it- do you really need everybody to like you?? what's in it for you?? are we not enough??? she leaves. hellboy glances at leno on tv: a dog outfitted in a ballerina costume is jumping around with a red ball balanced on its nose. hellboy chuckles.
maybe.
i think i may have made a mistake.
just a mistake- nothing important.
no. not yet. camera discovers hellboy, watching them from behind a glass door, a six-pack in his hand. he steps away.
i'm not driving that- abe has opened the hood on his hummer.
i was born in milwaukee, so it was just plain old liz ever since first grade.
you know, jay, we are- together. we are. rumble of consternation from the audience.
as a matter of fact, jay- before she can finish, the production assistant runs out and hands a note to leno, who scans it and grows serious:
abe, stop studying! pull the friggin' thing out, why don't you?
no! i don't want to see it! we've got to do something!
go after that son-of-a-bitch and get him to reverse the spell!!
so? we find it! we give it to him-!! manning exchanges a worried look with a couple of his agents in the b.g.
any luck? liz has come in behind him. abe quickly palms the precious thing in his webbed hand.
it doesn't matter.
no. forget the gold piece. let's us just find this royal asshole.
abe, let's do this for red! abe nods, unable to find a good answer. he manages to tuck the gold piece into his belt.
what about red?? don't you care about him??? a moment of silence. nobody knows what to say. finally:
i see. red was right about you. welcome to the team, johann. and goodbye. she leaves the room.
we stay here much longer, we're gonna get caught.
don't try to stop us, johann.
near the ocean, red.we'regonna make you well here.
yes! try it, abe-
you're wasting time! abe inserts and twists the cylinder. the tree comes to life, hauling its roots out of the ground, bending them into a swaying arch.
yes! can you help us?
how much?
here.  is a wonderful set of eyes, magic eyes that will bring the world-
don't you touch it - ! she rushes to hellboy's side, pushing the goblin back, ready for a fight. the goblin shrugs.
oh, my god. she knows - ?!
yes, i say yes-! abe and johann exchange a silent, worried look.
and i'll deal with it when that time comes. now save him. the creature cackles and then grips the spear tip with the tongs. a cry of pain from hellboy as it withdraws the bloody point from his chest.
i almost lost you- hellboy smiles and grabs her hand-
well, no one can stay mad forever.
we're never going to make them all happy, red. what we have is ours and no one
yes you are. you are the best man i've ever met.
yes, there is-
no- no- what are you talking about?? before she can go on, johann appears. he carries a poultice and fresh rags.
hold up. we need to rest.
this was a mistake. he's -
make that machines, johann. i see more than one. hellboy taps on a soldier's mechanical chest, which booms faintly, sending echoes up into the dark cavern.
let me - liz summons up a white-hot burst of electrical fire in each hand. with a yell, she unleashes a searing explosion at the oncoming fighters. the shock wave rolls through the enemy ranks, flattening scores of soldiers. for a moment, the bprd team regains hope.  but the endless lines of mechanicals keep coming, marching on and over their scorched comrades. hellboy holsters the samaritan and rushes forward, giving it his best. his wound is running with fresh blood. he punches a soldier, whose mace pounds repeatedly against his ravaged chest; as blood spatters his face, hellboy groans and keeps fighting, to absolutely no effect. at length, the mechanical arms throw hellboy against the wall, where he collapses, unable to carry on.
no!! no! ! a sudden movement at the ledge, where the princess steps forward and.  using her concealed dagger, she stabs herself in the right arm!! in silent slow motion, she drops the dagger. instantly, the prince drops his arm.  his hands come away red with blood. he looks over at his sister. they share a hard look of mutual understanding. love and hatred. hellboy raises, through supreme effort, bleeding. he quickly raises his sword. the fight resumes, but this time, hb has the advantage. he fights bravely and after parrying fiercely with the prince, he disarms him and points his sword at his chest.
what you said before - about us living
let's find a place in the country. clean air - green hills - fresh milk from the farm.
a yard.  with lots of room to grow in.
our baby, that's who!
	72:
don't be shy. he extends his arms and with a swoop, he climbs the wall, up, up, like a bat. five floors up.
almost. he releases the steward, who falls-
he hates me. layers of steel doors trundle open in sequence.
i can be discreet if i want to be- they exit the truck and enter the building. manning sighs.
when we get home.  i'm gonna clean the place up; okay? even the bathroom.
what? you want to get rid of the cats? you can't mean that-
then, what--?
yes, debra-?
they're vicious and cruel and- the floor ripples with activity.
these things have a very active metabolism. they, um- excrete as soon as they eat and then need to eat some more. there are no corpses 'cause there are no
and they do go for the teeth first. how do you think they got that name "tooth fairies"?? liz senses movement in the darkness. she holds out her hand and starts a small fire on her palm. she pans it like a torch, firelight sweeping the darkness-
the fire's not my enemy. it is part of me- -gets covered by a gentle film of blue flame.
evidently we have a- gas pocket- somewhere in- the reporters stampede towards the explosion, leaving manning alone and fuming.
no, red- not there! move away from the- k-b00000mmmmmm`in!!!!!!!!! a massive explosion-
i guess we're out now.
and they scorn us- every time they raise a dead, cold building, destroy a forest, or take more land- the princess then steps forward.
look at this place. is this where you hold court??
is this how we are to live?? amidst their filth, in their rubble??? picking at scraps from their table??? where is the honor in that??
it may just be that our days are ended.
i agree. death it is- and the guards turn toward the king and stab him. the princess screams. the prince looks away as the old monarch tumbles from his throne, dead. the heads of the clans try to flee, but are kept at bay by the other guards.
and now, my sister- the prince looks around and sees that his sister is gone. he pushes through the mob, pulling his guards to the door.
only liz handled herself with any dignity.
"unwelcome species.  mongrelizing.  lower orders.  ungodly freaks" she glares at hellboy.
-a physical medium, head of the european branch of the bprd-
you know i have a problem with germans-
-a doctor in philosophy and occult practice from the university of munich and a very eloquent speaker-
-germans make me nervous-
troll language-
get ready. we are on the move.
we'll deal with it. together.
i don't like being watched. i never have. i feel like a freak only if someone's watching me. suddenly: angry yells.  then fists pounding the walls and fenders. the doors open and they are inundated by reporters and tv crews and cameras and flashes. there are, literally, hundreds of them. this time from all over the world: japan, uk, germany.
he has a nice voice. all business now, johann steps over to the group.
these lenses allow you to see their real appearance.
what about the cats?
maybe we can bowl a few frames, uh?
not now, abe. as the princess disappears into the mob, abe hurries after her.
hey, abe, gimme me your twenty-
are you in trouble? talk to me, abe. another troll comes up behind abe.
abe? come in - abe? dammit -
there is no such name!
nice puppy.
the fire is not my enemy-- it is a part of me-- liz yells out a warning.  and then throws a barrage of flaming bolts. a pair of crab-like things shrivel and burn. johann melds with a heavy steel dumpster, until only his legs are visible beneath it. bending at the waist - splat - he brings it down on the head of the nearest creature! wink and hb duke it out for a few beats and then hb finally vanquishes the troll, ripping his iron mace off and throwing it away. as the other monsters retreat.  .the prince appears: in his hand a complex mechanical grenade. immediately worried, abe hustles the princess over to the bprd truck. the prince twists a timer. his bloodied trolls disperse, screaming, renewing the panic.
she's not gonna care.
not good enough for you? hellboy wraps a towel around his waist and comes up behind johann.
a magical place in the west. a different time. long gone. now, he's near and he's looking for me. i can feel and even understand his. hatred for mankind.
that's a joke, liz. liz remains silent.
ha- he's funny.
but sometimes being with him is not easy-
all my life i thought i was alone, a made- up name and a random pasted on a cylinder. but then i saw her- she's like me. a creature from another world.  alone.  brother red- i think i'm in love.
track eight-
oh, god- you're disgusting-
what am i going to do, red???? hellboy sighs and pops a beer, presses play and sighs heavily, looks around-
everyday.
when it comes to dealing with reporters or the public, i set the tone. you all know the old saying: the perception is the reality.
you got 'em- the round a corner and enter -
i knew your father- he was a friend- hellboy blinks, taking the information in.
gotcha. we call that stand-up comedy.
no -!
come here, i'll show you.  liz backs away, shaking her head.
fire and water, me and you, abe. we'll kick his ass. abe looks supremely troubled.
now the case itself proves very useful- he moistens the holding cylinder case on a rubber stamp mat and imprints the surface pattern on the paper map. glyphs and coordinates become visible. a silhouette of a twisted, gnarly tree is visible too.
careful, liz.
am i a good man, liz?? am i??
is it about johann-
then you are most foolish. he gestures to some troll guards near a tunnel entrance. they lead the princess out in chains.
here.  for her.  take it.
what would you do if it was liz?? click! the prince fits the gold parts together and places the resulting crown on his head!
whoa! where'd you come from? we were just-
