Nothing but spooks and magicians and things that |
"want to take your life and take your money, take |
your family, whisk you away. Fuck the circus.” |
TALIESIN: Fuck the circus. So that’s what you |
think happened to him, then? I feel like there’s |
something evil afoot. |
MATT: “Says the devil.” |
TALIESIN: Again, I’ve been called worse. Sure you |
have in your time, as well. |
MATT: He takes the drink, sips it. “Don’t come |
‘round here no more.” |
TALIESIN: I take my cup back. Down it. I love |
small towns. |
MARISHA: Shithead. |
TRAVIS: We head outside. Well, that was |
revealing. |
SAM: Was it? |
MARISHA: We learned a few things, actually. He’s a |
prime target. Perfect victim, perfect candidate. |
No one really paid attention to him, he was old, |
he had no family, his son’s gone. |
TALIESIN: Awfully convenient. |
MARISHA: Awfully convenient. Still awfully |
convenient that your little circus doesn’t allow |
the elderly, which you never fully explained, and |
he happened to be one of the oldest people in that |
circus. Where did that rule come from? |
The sick makes sense, I asked you that |
before, but why elderly? |
TALIESIN: That rule’s been around for as long as I |
can remember because it makes people think the |
show’s dangerous. Gives them a thrill. |
TRAVIS: You’re worried about them having a heart |
attack or something? |
TALIESIN: We’re not really worried about people |
having a heart attack; we want people to be |
worried about having a heart attack, because then |
they’re more excited to come see the show. This is |
how these shows work. |
MARISHA: Do you know who implemented that rule? |
TALIESIN: Before my time. |
LAURA: In his defense, every carnival I’ve gone to |
has said no sick people, no old people. |
TALIESIN: It’s a boilerplate. |
MARISHA: Still a good candidate. |
TALIESIN: If you were trying to hide doing |
something to someone it’s a great candidate. If I |
was trying to get away with something, terrible |
idea. |
MARISHA: Or if you were trying to frame someone. |
Seems to be a lot of pretty bigoted people in this |
town who don’t like tieflings and other strange |
lots. Jester, you actually said one of the |
smartest things of the night, which is– you did, |
yeah. Which is, guard’s really weird. |
LAURA: Right? |
MARISHA: Yeah. |
TALIESIN: Wait, what? |
LAURA: The guards are really weird. |
MARISHA: The Crownsguards. As you were saying, the |
Ustaloch? |
