The Crow
written by David J. Schow & John Shirley, from the graphic novel by James O'Barr
T-Bird: What, what are you talking about? Nah, nah, nah, nah, you mean that place downtown? I remember her. We needed to put some fear into that little lady, she wasnt going along with our tenant relocation program. Then her idiot boyfriend shows up and turns a simple sweep and clear into a total cluster fuck. Who gives a shit? It's ancient history. What? What do you want? What is it? What? Speak to me! Speak! (flashback to the attack)...I know you. I know you, I knew, I knew you. I knew, I knew you. But you ain't you. You cant be you. We put you through the window. There ain't no coming back. There ain't no coming back. (Eric starts the car with T-Bird trapped inside, with an explosive device. T-Bird begins to quote Milton's "Paradise Lost" in the seconds before he dies.) "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is..." "And felt how awful goodness is."
(The car drives up a ramp, takes off and explodes as Eric waves bye-bye. He pours ligher fluid on the ground and lights it to form the familiar crow symbol. He walks away as the crow lands on his shoulder.)
Kudos and much thanks go to Viper for this monologue, it is very much appreciated. In case you were wondering, the complete quotation from "Paradise Lost" (by John Milton) is: "Abash’d the devil stood, / And felt how awful goodness is, and saw / Virtue in her shape how lovely."
