[Ebony is trying to calm down a mob of people who have come to trash the Mall.]
So, what are you all doing here?
They cheated us! The Mall Rats ripped us off!
Ripped you off! Cheated you? Would that be before or after they saved your lives? Well? Think about it. And while you’re thinking, ask yourselves this. Who crawled through a minefield to search for the answer to the virus? The Mall Rats. Who trekked all the way up to the satellite station to get the message and lost two of their dearest ones in the process? The Mall Rats. Who found the formula then worked out how to make it? The Mall Rats. Who gave the antidote to everybody in the entire city for free? The Mall Rats. [pause] Now ask yourselves this. If the Mall Rats hadn’t done that, how many of you would be alive today? And this is how you say thank you? [pause] So, what’s your problem! That for the last few weeks they’ve been giving you for free, antidote which you didn’t need? Nobody was sure you didn’t need it anymore, until they tried doing without it. That’s what they’ve been doing. Experimenting on themselves to save you. But yet, yet they’ve ripped you off, right?! [pause] I tell you. I did some bad things to the Mall Rats. They forgave me and they took me in. And I am so proud to call myself a Mall Rat. [pause] So? Are you still going to come in here and smash us and trash the Mall? Or are you going to show your gratitude and get on with building a new life for us all? [the crowd starts cheering]
Boy, can she handle a mob!
God help us if she ever turns against us.
