and the fire said to me: nix, nix, you're my instrument. from now on, you'll be called the puritan.
we'll come back to this. get about your business.
hush.
i said hush.
what is it?
i think he's in love.
you don't like him, do you?
maybe. go fetch him.
i knew you'd come.
i've got so much power to give you, swann. all you have to do is. beg.
you don't think i've got it to give?
you're wrong.
i could eat your fucking soul, swann.
you want to know what the world really looks like?
want to see flesh with a god's eyes?
here he is.
take a look, swann! these are your friends.
you want to be like that, swann? mud and shit?
come here. share the power.
swann! swann!
help me!
help me!
swann? what are you doing?
fuck you, swann! fuck you!
sw
aaarrrgh!
children.
will you suffer to come unto me?
i've come back to share the wisdom of the grave. will you hear it?
follow me then.
do i know you, child?
oh yes.  i do, don't i? no gun this time, child? where's swann?
he'll come. we've got unfinished business, he and i.
something terrible's going to happen. but if you hold on to me, very tight, you may live a little longer.
are you ready for my wisdom?
here is my wisdom.
you see, i escaped the grave. so i have to give something to the grave in return.
i have to give something back. so i'm giving you.
you're not worthy. none of you. only swann was worthy. you just waited like lambs.
well i'm not your shepherd.
you're not swann. who are you? ) oh.  i know what you want. he lets dorothea slip from his arms.
there you are.
i've had a lot of time to think about you. where i went wrong.
i should have been honest with you, right from the start. i wasn't born to show people the error of their ways. i was born to murder the world.
you could still help me do that.
because you've got nothing else to live for.
the woman has a new love in her life. your friends are dead. nobody's left to save you, but me
will you help me?
you know i'll kill you when we're done. i have to.
but until then.  it's you and me.  the way it always was.
wait.  you still feel something for that bitch?
liar!
will! you! never! learn!?
she's just flesh, swannnie-boy. i'll show you!
where is she?
where did she go?
you've got swann's disease. you think a little courage, a little love, and it'll all be all right. wrong!
tell me where she is.  and i'll make it go away.
there you are, child.
come on, child. i want swann to see you die.
what are you looking at?
one.  last.  illusion.
i am the purest of the pure. i am the darkest of the dark.
i'm beyond heaven. i'm beyond hell.
no! no! no!
