Viktoria Takes the Eye
[Garrett returns to Constantine’s mansion with the Eye, which he
hands over.]
Constantine:
I can’t tell you how pleased I am with you, Mr. Garrett.
I simply cannot find the words, but perhaps Viktoria can help me in that regard.
She has such a way with them.
Viktoria:
Yes, we are both so very pleased…
Garrett:
Viktoria?
Viktoria:
even though the Eye is… defective.
Garrett:
What?!
Constantine:
Viktoria is quite right, Mr. Garrett.
I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but this Eye is completely blind.
Garrett:
It’s a rock.
It’s what you asked for.
Am I going to get paid or not?
Constantine:
Of course.
Viktoria, are you prepared to give Mr. Garrett his…
[Constantine begins changing; the voice gets deeper and adds reverb]
Constantine:
…compensation?
[They rapidly change with the symbol of the third eye of the Trickster appearing on Constantine’s head, along with horns.
Viktoria’s clothing falls away revealing bark instead of skin.]
Viktoria:
[also now with reverb]
Bow to the Woodsie Lord and offer up your flesh eye so his Eye of stone may see, Manfool!
[Vines and branches shoot from Viktoria’s arm pinning Garrett against a column, binding him there]
Viktoria:
Bids he then the spruces to sing a hymn and anthems!
And the Woodsie Lord binders and fleshes to stone.
[Viktoria plucks out Garrett’s eye]
Constantine:
[now the Trickster]
Did you think those ancient phrases were mere words, Manfool?
Look at me!
I am the Woodsie Lord, the Trickster of legend!
If you be thirsty, flesh-thing, drink of me!
[The Trickster places Garrett’s eye into the the prongs of The Eye making it glow red]
Constantine:
If you be hungry then feed for I am the Honey Maker and the jokester bee!
Viktoria:
He am the leaf that feeders on the fleshed ones!
Thems that calls themselves Builders have wielded up hammers against him!
Trickster:
My poor Mr. Garrett, you will not live to see the sprawling glory of it!
Your sacrifice is not yet complete.
Mine lilacs and mine thistleaids must feed, and I?
Stands he then in the greens infested maw
and speeds He out his judgements upon the weak and writhing manfools.
[He and Viktoria depart through a slash in space that he just made.]
