1.2Audition dialog

Full of attitude and “hero-ness”:

Spirit totems, my ass!

Screw that pathetic rock!

Frantic, excited:

What the hell was that?

Christ! They’ve got Mary down there!

I don’t care what kind of game you’re playing here… if I’m going to play, I’ll play to win!

Thoughtful, questioning:

You’ve been expecting me? I don’t understand…

Yes. I do feet it… something is different deep inside, like some larger energy has awakened.

I tried to believe in you. For years, I tried, but there was nothing there. It was like I was… pretending. The closer I looked, the more it all seemed like vapor, like generations of foolish vapor. There was nothing real there to believe… there never was!
