Let us keep moving. Apparently the human race has regressed rather than evolved.
[After the Pillar men take their leave.]
Joseph What the hell! Two poisoned wedding rings. One on my heart and the other on my wind pipe. Do they think I'm some sort of bigamist or- (faints)
EEsidici
You speak of Sun Tzu? I know him personally, having studied him two thousand years ago. "All war is deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near."
You said, "Victory is assured before the battle is even fought." Well, it's true..True..TRUE!
[Joseph starts laughing.]
Are you really laughing as I'm about to deal you an excruciating death? Have you been driven completely insane by the fear?
Well, let's see here. You'll notice my arms are folded and my eyes are closed, so this laugh would be one of victory, Esidisi. You're the loser here today because for the last 2000 years, you have been asleep at the wheel.
I lost?! What do you mean by that?!
Oh, really? You don't get it? You can't read me as clearly as you thought you could? Let me help you understand just how badly you've underestimated me. You said that your plans went deep, well, they didn't go nearly as deep as mine. While you were snoozing for the past 2000 years, humans have progressed. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Legerdemain, or sleight of hand became a very popular form of entertainment. I'm a really big fan of myself. Illusion is my thing!
But... I cut all those strings! I cut them! It can't be!
I'd say the rope magic worked. I laid my trap carefully, so that even if the string was cut, it would still function. A simple trick. What you’re going to say next is: “My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon can possibly go!” Now!
My veins will move faster than your pathetic Hamon can possibly go!
Now feel the beat of my Hamon Overdrive!
I can't... I can't... You're only a human. I am the evolved one, the highest life form! I will not be beaten! Now that you've pushed me too far!
[As Esidisi's body explodes.]
Esidisi's body is shooting some kind of strange energy. That must come from living for Millennia. Die already! Die with the power of life you stole from thousands of innocent human beings! My instructor, I thank you for torturing me. Mille Grazie to you, Loggins.
Well, if I'm gonna be sitting around for 30 minutes, I choose to do it here.
[sits next to Lisa Lisa's door]
Would it to be wrong of me should my eyes happen to gaze through the keyhole?
[looks through and sees a naked Lisa Lisa]
Hoh hoh hoh hooooooooohhh!! NIIIIIIICE!"
