King Silas Benjamin:
[walking with Rev. Samuels through a supermarket] There's no pleasure in being told your favorite is your enemy... Tomato - still quietly a nightshade.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
He is not your enemy, Silas; you know that. You have a chance to end this, now - make it right.

King Silas Benjamin:
Whatever your visions...

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
He is only becoming what he is meant to be, what God intends for this nation.

King Silas Benjamin:
Well then, He didn't tell me.

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
Change is coming, Silas - you were supposed to foster it, to nurture it, to see the future improve upon the past. Now, you can still have your part, but *don't*.

[Silas starts to walk away, but Rev. Samuels strikes his hand against the produce case, causing all the lights to go out]

King Silas Benjamin:
Oh, so that's it - change from arcana to tricks?

Rev. Ephram Samuels:
Don't give God reason to tear from you this kingdom. I have known you to be a man to make mistakes in the name of... vanity - but never a villain.

King Silas Benjamin:
There was a time, once, not far from memory, when you lost what was most dear to you. And you asked me that those responsible for the death of your wife not be just punished, not be just killed, but that all memory of their existence on earth be swept clean. And you asked not with the countenance of God, nor magic hands - just as a broken man seeking revenge... and your friend did that for you, and you thanked him for it. So who are you now, to ask that friend not to exact revenge on those that would take from him?... Be the lamb, or be the knife; try to be both, you'll end up slaughtering yourself.
