:23:02
I hate it when people
need it spelled out for them.
:23:04
You might want to clarify that.
:23:08
Back in the old days,
God was vengeful and hot-tempered.
:23:13
And His wrath was bore...
:23:16
by the Angel of Death,
name of Loki.
:23:20
When Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed...
:23:22
that was Loki.
:23:24
When the waters wiped out everything
except Noah and his menagerie...
:23:29
that was Loki--
and he was good at what he did.
:23:33
But one day...
:23:35
he refused to bear God's wrath
any longer.
:23:39
- Why?
- He listened to his friend...
:23:43
a Grigori
by the name of Bartleby.
:23:45
Grigori?
:23:47
One ofthe choirs of angels.
They're called Watchers.
:23:51
Guess what they do.
:23:53
So one day, Loki's wiping out
all the first born of Egypt--
:23:58
The Tenth Plague.
:24:01
Tell a person that you're the Metatron
and they stare at you blankly.
:24:04
Mention something out of
a Charlton Heston movie...
:24:07
and suddenly everybody's
a theology scholar.
:24:10
May I continue uninterrupted?
:24:12
Once he's done with the first born...
:24:15
Loki takes his friend Bartleby out
for a post-slaughter drink.
:24:20
And over many rounds...
:24:23
they get into
this discussion about...
:24:26
whether or not murder
in the name of God is okay.
:24:28
And in the end...
:24:30
Bartleby convinces Loki
to quit his position...
:24:35
and take one which doesn't
involve slaughter.
:24:38
So...
:24:41
very inebriated...
:24:44
Loki tells God he quits...
:24:48
throws down his fiery sword...
:24:51
and gives Him the finger.
:24:53
Which ruins it for the rest of us
because from that day forward...
:24:57
God decreed that angels
could no longer imbibe alcohol.
