The Wizard of Gore2007

Montag the Magnificent:
Ling Chi: Death by a thousand cuts. I will cut you piece by piece. I will open you up, then you can see I am not the magician. I am the trick. Like you, I am a prop to be used for this final trick. I will let out what the magician added to you, and once you are truly opened up, you can put the pieces together. In this world, there are two kinds of people: fools and visionaries. The fool sees the solution, the magician intends him to see. Which one are you? The fool or the visionary?

Edmund Bigelow:
The visionary. Escaped visionary. Go ahead. Cut me more, because the more you cut, the more I bleed, and the more I bleed, the more you lose your hold on me.

Montag the Magnificent:
That... That was just a means to an end. But you and what you have accomplished, that you have always had within you. The only reason that you haven't seen it is because magic is all about misdirection. But you don't have direction.

Edmund Bigelow:
I think now I do.
