A Dialogue Devoutly to be Wished

Satan: What do you mean you think you're going to start minding your own business?!

Gruesome Magician: I was listening and thinking about what Sherman was saying, and on second thought, maybe he's right after all. In any case, I decided I don't want to be chosen any more.

Satan: Oh really, and how are you going to explain all his to your good friend, Steve? He's chosen too you know.

Gruesome Magician: I don't care. I don't think I want to be "chosen" anymore.

Satan: And give up your billion dollar expense account?

Gruesome Magican: Yes, and give up my billion dollar expense account.
