We All Fall Down

[if_she_hollers]

Four to go . . .
Six of us have been on the list now all three times.  Kanna Denmouth . . . Bonnie Vargas . . . Luke Loew . . . Tiffany Kirkland . . . Sideswipe Vette.  And Mimi Hoenheim.

I don't understand why I've been targeted . .  . Someone's already tried to kill me a few times.  I guess I don't even know whether or not I'm really innocent.

Of course it matters! You haven't done anything either! Don't... let them get to you like this.

[Like it's going to work, but hey, he's gotta try.]

Think of it as an experiment -- I wasn't in on the riot. If the count stays at four afterward, no one should hurt the people who weren't involved, right? No one will have to hurt you.

Sorry, Sideswipe.

You don't need to do this! Other people have already died, and nothing's changed!

Don't... tell me this is for me! Don't!

[if_she_hollers]

Yeah, that's 'cause like, they wanted seven, remember? If the count goes down, good. If it doesn't, then there's no reason to keep on killing. Unless there's some ridiculous no-suicide clause which would suck. And like, don't be silly. If it was up to you or me, I'd totally save my own skin. I'm not nearly that good.

Mimi, this won't change anything. Don't... do anything stupid. You're just as innocent as the rest of us!

[if_she_hollers]

Oh, no. No, I'm not . . . Innocent of this, maybe, but if anyone's got this coming to them, it's me. It's the easy way out. I told you -- I'm weak.

It's like, OK. I'll be back in like, three days, tops. That's how long it took the others, right?

Like, seeya Tuesday. Don't wait up.

Yes, innocent in this! You don't... Damn you, don't do this--!

[He'll just be shouting into the receiver, then.]
