Undeserving: Transcript

And then, the archangel showed a vision: a city, lighter than air. I asked her, "Why do you show this to me, archangel? I'm not a strong man, I'm not a righteous man, I am not a holy man." And she told me the most remarkable thing: "You're right, Prophet. But if grace is within the grasp of one such as you, how can anyone else not see it in themselves?"

Zachary Hale Comstock

Madame Lutece - I have read all your books on the sciences, Mama says, “it’s not a fit occupation for a lady,” but I think she’s jealous of our cleverness.

I told you, Comstock – you sell ‘em paradise, and the customers expect cherubs for every chore! No menials in God’s kingdom! Well, I’ve a man in Georgia who’ll lease us as many Negro convicts as you can board! Why, you can say they’re simple souls, in penance for rising above their station. Whatever eases your conscience, I suppose.

Now, I’m half a Jew when I smell silver, so I say, I say: “Father, your flock would pay for a thousand, you know. Why settle for less?” And then, the Prophet looks to me and says, “One hundred will suffice, as I know how it ends.”

A New Hunt: Transcript

Comstock came by the wagon at dawn. Man was just… he just transfixed by my trophy scalps. Asked about the white ones, there. I said, “Well, sir – if your quarry dwells in the jungle, and beds down with the local color, why split hair?” [Laughs] Not a chuckle out of him. Either he ain’t seen a man go native, or maybe… maybe too many. Anyhow, now he’s got me huntin’ down this “Daisy Fitzroy.” Hope he don’t expect me to stuff and mount her.

Preston E. Downs

The second one from the front of the left side will have a Voxophone.

The Lie of the Emancipator: Transcription

What exactly was the “Great Emancipator” emancipating the Negro from? From his daily bread. From the nobility of honest work. From wealthy patrons who sponsored them from cradle to the grave. From clothing to shelter. And what have they done with their freedom? Why, go to Finkton, and you shall find out. No animal is born free, except the white man. And it is our burden to care for the rest of creation.

Zachary Hale Comstock

Infusion #2

First Zealot

Tiger by the Tail: Transcript

I guess even in a restricted area, these crackers need someone to clean the floors, hm? Hmph. Those politicians and scientists don’t bother ‘bout what they say ‘round me, because I’m some half-lettered colored boy.

It is one thing to imagine one’s future… and another to see it. I have seen the seeds of fire that will prepare the Sodom below for the coming of the Lord. But Elizabeth shall sow these seeds, not I. I will fall before the job is done. But she shall take up my mantle. The Lord is calling me home. I feel his love in every tumor, because they are the train which takes me to his station. And I go with joy, knowing that Elizabeth will take my earthly place. But the False Shepherd is coming to lead my Lamb astray. I will not board that train until she is safe from his deceptions.

The Source of Her Power: Transcript

What makes the girl different? I suspect it has less to do with what she is, and rather more with what she is not. A small part of her remains from where she came. It would seem the universe does not like its peas mixed with its porridge.

Born in the River: Transcript

The Prophet way know how his own biography’s going to end, but… I can scarcely fathom how I’m going to start it. I mean, other than the kid’s stuff you get at all the Hall of Heroes, anything prior to his baptism was – and here I quote, hang on – “left on the riverside.” They’ll call me a plagiarist, but I’m gonna spend the first 30 pages regurgitating Scripture.

As a boy, I had a dog named Bill. And like all dogs, Bill was a loyal friend, if we had not fed him, bill would have been loyal, if we had struck him, Bill would have been loyal. Only when the colored man can make that claim will he take his place in society.

This waiting is insufferable.
