American Gods, Season 1
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Careful! The buffalo is waning tonight.
Shadow:
You're Zorya Poluch...Pulch...The sister that was sleeping.
Zorya Polunochnaya:
I am Zorya Polunochnaya, yes. And you are called Shadow.
Shadow:
What are you looking at up there?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
I was looking at that. See?
[Shadow looks through the telescope]
Shadow:
The big dipper?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Odin's Wain, they call it. And the Great Bear. It is a thing. It's not a god. Like a god. It's a bad thing. Chained up in those stars. If it escapes, it will eat the whole of everything. So we watch the sky all day, all night, the three sisters. If he escapes, the thing in the stars, the world is over [snaps fingers] Like that.
Shadow:
And people believe that?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
A long time ago.
Shadow:
[noticing her nightgown] You're not cold?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Cold doesn't bother me. This time is my time. My sisters, they're of their times. When is your time? Your birthday?
Shadow:
No, I-I don't want my fortune told.
Zorya Polunochnaya:
My fortunes are the best. [she takes Shadow's hand] Virgins have the advantage. And now we have something. Oh. No. You have nothing. You believe in nothing so you have nothing. You are on a path...from nothing to everything. You had something recently. You lost it.
Shadow:
My-my wife.
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Not your wife...Did you sell your head to Czernobog?
Shadow:
Yeah.
Zorya Polunochnaya:
You keep giving away your life. You don't much care if you live or die do you?
Shadow:
The world's not what I thought it would be.
Zorya Polunochnaya:
You'd rather die then live in a world with bears in the sky. I can help you. First, you must do something for me.
Shadow:
What is it? Gotta fight you? Play checkers?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
You have to kiss me. I have not ever been kissed. I don't know if I like it. We do this now.
Shadow:
I-
[she kisses Shadow on the lips]
Zorya Polunochnaya:
...Kissing is disgusting, but in a nice way like blu cheese or brandy. Take the moon.
Shadow:
What?
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Just take it. Here.
[she plucks the moon out of the night sky and gives it to Shadow as a silver dollar]
Zorya Polunochnaya:
Don't lose this. Don't give it away. You've been given protection once. You had the sun itself. I can give you the moon. It's the daughter, not the father. Now you wake up.
