:26:05
(echoing) How are we sleeping
these nights?
:26:10
Sleep's not real big
on my to-do list right now.
:26:13
Demagogues, martyrs, schizophrenics,
they all tend to run toward insomnia.
:26:20
Tell me, then.
What do you want?
:26:23
l want to know who's after me and why.
:26:26
You'd ask the devil himself
to explain the politics of that?
:26:32
Who better?
:26:37
You have in your possession a book.
:26:39
lt will not only foretell
the coming of the Antichrist,
:26:42
but in a matter of hours
it will identify him by name.
:26:45
Now that, Allison, makes you the courier
of a weapon of mass destruction
:26:51
every bit as devastating
as any nuclear bomb.
:26:56
And just as your world governments
:26:57
fear a nuclear device
falling into the hands of savages,
:27:01
so there are powerful interests in heaven
:27:02
who regard you and that book
with the same concern.
:27:06
The politics of angels, you see,
are not so very different from those of men.
:27:10
Both have rules to follow,
codes of conduct, laws.
:27:16
Both, for example,
have constraints regarding murder,
:27:20
and ways to get around those constraints.
:27:24
Hired assassins.
:27:27
But it would seem the preferred option
is no longer in play.
:27:31
You have, in the parlance of the ClA,
''turned their chief asset.''
:27:37
Your new friend,
:27:39
Dylan.
:27:44
(sniffing)
:27:48
So our angel, whosoever he is,
:27:51
has no choice
but to perform this sordid task himself.
:27:56
Go to ground, so to speak.
:27:59
- l have a weakness for these things.
- Maybe it's the angel food cake.
