what if they're RIGHT
Interview With The
Prophet
Silas: Fingers! Wow, theres just so many of these things!
How do you keep track? Hey could someone get me a swig of formaldihyde
Welton: Good Evening. i have never seen a man open his eyes as wide as yours before.
What exactly is going on with your face?
Silas: My face is normal! Next question!
Welton: (Laughing) Well there's that charm i've heard so much about. Move over, Johnny Carson!
Tell me, how do you respond to accusations that the Ciphertologists are a cult?
Silas: Yes!
Welton: So you don't deny it?
Silas: Look slick, everyone believes in something they can't prove. Football players believe in "points."
Cops believe in "laws." Priests believe in "sin." But show me a law, a point, a sin.
But show me a law, a point, a sin. You can't, they're just ideas.
So if you're going to follow something invisible, why not follow the invisible Triangle that will give you your own planet
and crush your enemies into a small screaming cube.
Welton: You're awfully quick with a turn of phrase, but many others with silver tongues have claimed to be the messiah.
What makes you any different?.
Silas: Fair point! You know, you're very perceptive. Has your wife told you that lately?
Welton: (pause) No. No... Janet has not. We are... going trough a rough patch.
Silas: Must be hard. All those long nights on the couch, wondering what went wrong.
Welton: yes... but, how did you know all that?
Silas: I know lots of things, Jack! And i know that when you die at 72 from a goose crashing into your head on a roller coaster,
Your last toughts is gonna be that you wasted your life interviewing hick farmersinstead of becoming that great novelist you always dreamed of being!
That unfinished novel in your desk drawer....
Welton: ...The Reporter Who Went To Mars?
Silas: It could be the greatest book of all time. But you'll need someone to help you reach your full potential.
I think i know a guy! By the way, i'll need 1,000 dollars immediatly
Welton: Can i give you my watch as a down payment?
Silas: Fine, but only because i like you. Anyway, where were we? Oh right! i was interviewing you.
Tell me, how long have you been a Ciphertologist?
Welton: Well, i suppose as of 5 seconds ago, but it already feels like much longer, Mr Birchtree.
Silas: Please, call me "My lord And Master"
Welton: Yes, My Lord and Master. Do you have anything else to add before you go?
Silas: Only this, and i mean it sincerely: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (cont'd)
Mr. Birchtree
