Devils sketch 5.
Grim: Now consider human nature, and why eternal light should love these despicable vermin.
Grumpy: They are no more than an animals, a lower form of life dredged from a primeval swamp.
Smooth: Love for them is obviously a contradiction in terms.
Action: What can the eternal light gain by loving such fanciful and foolish creatures.
Grim: He actually wants to accept them, love them, look after them, provide for them, even forgive them.
Action: More than once.
Grim: More than, err what’s the latest statistic on one human. Several million times I think.
Action: Just one person.
Grumpy: Ooh well……shocking
Smooth: It’s a disguise, a cunning trap
Action: We simply don’t believe it.
Grim: They are vermin, not worthy of a single shaft of light.
Smooth: How can goodness and darkness in humans be reconciled.
Grumpy: Yeah! How can good …………………dark…. reconciled.
Grim: One thing is certain he won’t ever love Legion, he’s one of our family now.
Grumpy: Yeah one of us. I’ll get some more ice cream. Try this...
Lemon mint pistachio with the drug of sarcasm, incredulity and self doubt.
Smooth: Sprinkled with a light dusting of fascination. Tasty
Grim: Where is that son of light heading now?
Action: To the hills nearer to our lad Legion.
Legions appears
Legion: Is there any help out there, will anyone help. Help me God.

Grim: And what was the plan.
Grumpy: Disruption, arguments with his parents,

Grumpy: Yeah sin bin medal, ……. cool.
Grim: And
Action: It didn’t happen quite how we expected.

Grumpy: Married a beautiful lusty girl and had several children, played

Action: And his community rejected him.
Grim: And where did he go
Action: To the graves, lived among the tombs
Grim: And what did you do
Action: We brought in the death squad for almost immediate collection. Job done
Grim: You stupid devils. Have you any idea what you have done
Action: We have done our job,
Smooth: We smothered the light in him
Grumpy: We delivered him like a turkey for a feast. Wicked
Action: All trussed and wrapped ready for eternal darkness.
Grim: No you haven’t.
You just made him a greater candidate for forgiveness.
You stupid devils.
Action: But he is so foul
Smooth: So dirty
Grumpy: So frightening
Action: So despised
Smooth: So rejected.
Action: So pitiable,
Smooth: So destroyed,

ALL: Grumpy: Action: Smooth: No one could love him. .......... Surely not loved.
