Well, personally, I never went for church names.

Jezebel
[Jacob laughs]

What?

Jacob

Where do you think Jezebel came from?

Jezebel

No one calls me that.

Jacob

You're such a heathen, Jezzie. How'd I ever get involved with such a ****in' ninny?

Jezebel

You sold your soul, remember? That's what you told me.

Jacob

Yeah? For what?

Jezebel

A good lay.

Jacob

Look what I got.

Jezebel & Jacob

The best.

Jacob

Jezzie? Get me out of here.

Evil Doctor

Where do you want to go?

Jacob

Home.

Evil Doctor

Home? This is your home. You're dead.

Jacob

Dead? No. I just hurt my back, I'm not dead.

Evil Doctor

What are you, then?

Jacob

I'm alive.

Evil Doctor

Then what are you doing here?

Jacob

I don't know. [crying] This isn't happening.

Evil Doctor

What is happening?

Jacob

Get me out of here.

Evil Doctor

There is no out of here. You've been killed, don't you remember?

Well, you've done it to yourself this time, haven't you?

Jacob

Am I dying, Louie?

From a slipped disk? That'll be a first.

Michael

I'd only been in jail 13 hours, I thought 'Nam couldn't be any worse.

Jacob

Shows how little you knew.

Michael

Yeah, really.

Jacob

You know you look like an angel, Louie? Like an overgrown cherub. Anyone ever tell you that?

[smiling]

Yeah, you. Every time you see me.

Jacob

You're a lifesaver, Louie.

[smiling]

Yeah, I know.
