Hellraiser: Deader Page #3

Let go of me!

You won't get away with this!

Hey!

[Whistles]

You are lucky to have

a boss like me.

Once again, I have saved

your small but relatively

shapely behind.

At least you got to travel.

What were they gonna charge

me with, anyway?

Charge you?

They were thinking

of shipping you

to the asylum for observation.

Believe me, you go in there,

you don't come out.

Got your stuff?

Why did you give me

this story, Charles?

Who else would have taken it?

They're gonna think

it's bullshit,

or they're gonna be too afraid.

But Amy Klein.

Tell me it's real, Amy.

It's real.

Or I'm crazy.

Either way, it's a good story.

You see, Amy,

for the average person,

the hunger for knowledge

is like the hunger for food.

We want to know just enough to

take the edge off our appetite.

Then we're satisfied,

and we stop.

But you are a glutton.

You can't help overeating.

- I don't hear you complaining.

- No, that's the point.

That's why I still need you.

'Cause all that stuff

I don't eat, I still want.

So I send you in to do

the eating for me

so I get to experience it

without actually suffering

any mental indigestion.

Thanks a lot.

So, I do all the suffering.

Nobody's forcing anything

down your throat, correct?

No.

I'm not here to save people,

and I'm not here to judge them.

I take them as they come

and use them as they pass by.

You know, there's something

vaguely demonic about you.

Did you know the word "demon"

comes from the Greek word

for "knowledge"?

No, I didn't.

American education.

Hop in.

I'll give you a lift.

No, thanks.

I need the fresh air.

Then walk back to your room,

lie in your coffin until

the daylight hours have passed,

as is your habit,

then go get me my story.

Panduri and Kovacs.

[Bird shrieks, Amy gasps]

Damn it.

[Water dripping]

[Splash]

Aw, sh*t.

[Voices murmuring]

Hello?

[Flies buzzing]

Is anybody there?

Hello?

Is somebody there?

What the hell?

Whoa! Aah! Aah!

Oh, God!

[Grunting]

No! No!

No!

No, no!

Aah!

Aah!

[Breathing heavily]

Shh.

Follow me.

[Flies buzzing]

[Voices murmuring]

[Inaling]

[Gasping]

[Breathing heavily]

[Gasps]

[Gasps]

One of us.

[Indistinct whispering]

Amy Klein.

You know me.

I chose you.

You didn't choose me.

I came here to help Marla

and the others.

And what makes you think

they need help?

Tell me, Amy Klein, were you

afraid when you saw Marla?

Of what you found?

Yes.

What is it?

You might say

it's a family heirloom

passed down

through many generations.

Left here as a gift.

The way to cheat death.

An entrance to a world

of everlasting pleasure.

It rightfully belongs to me.

Though there are others
