...will give you seven wishes

to use as you see fit."

Seven? Why not eight?

Why not six? I don't know.

Seven just sounds right.

Paragraph two outlines the manner

in which you'll pay for the wishes.

What? I have to give you my soul?

-After you've had your wishes.

-But it's my soul!

-I can't give you my soul!

-What are you? James Brown?

What's the big deal?

You ever seen your soul?

-Do you even know what it is?

-Of course, it's the thing that--

No, that's-- It floats around--

Can I tell you something?

Souls are overrated.

They don't really do anything.

Has yours done anything

for you so far?

No, it's like your appendix.

You'll never even miss it.

Well, if it's so useless,

then why do you want it so much?

Ooh, aren't you the clever one?

Look, who's really making out

in this deal here?

Seven utterly fabulous wishes

for one piddling little soul?

Well, I don't know.

What have we here?

Wait. Who is--

Alison?

How did you--

She is so beautiful.

-I've waited for you.

-Who's that?

-I've waited for you.

-Who's she with?

-I want you now, my Iove.

-Why are you showing me this?

Oh, I love your hair like that.

You must go through

conditioner like crazy.

Is this real?

It could be.

All you have to do is sign.

And you promise I'll get her?

You're the one with the wishes.

But I promise I'll do

everything in my power.

Sign it, Elliot.

sign it.

PIease, EIIiot. I'm waiting, EIIiot.

Great!

Now, before you start wishing

you'll be needing this.

If your wish isn't going

the way you hoped...

...just take out the pager, hit 666,

and it'll bring you right back to me.

Why wouldn't it go the way

that I'd hoped?

I was just throwing that out

as an example.

Every wish is gonna be

But you'll find that out

as soon as you make one.

-So I should make one now?

-Well, if you don't mind.

I've got places to go...

...people to condemn to

an eternity of fiery torment.

Okay, let me think. I--

-I want to be married to Alison.

-You got it.

I also want to be rich.

Always a popular choice.

That's not all. I want to be

very rich and very powerful.

Ooh, even better.

Remember, you have to say " I wish."

Right.

I wish that I were

married to Alison...

...and that I were very rich

and very powerful.

-How's that sound?

-Sounds good to me.

Enjoy.

Roberto.

" I am is to visiting

in the Los Angeles...

...for the time of vacations."

Back so soon?

You turned me into a drug dealer!

They almost killed me!

You asked for rich and powerful.

-Not like that.

-Goes with the territory, babe.

" Root of all evil...."

Ring any bells?

But what about Alison?

What got into her?

I think it was Raoul.
