## Harry O. Tophet

* I love to scare the hell out of people.
* That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that I weave so well Those icy fingers up and down your spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
** "That Old Black Magic"
* Sorry, pal, he asked for me. That's the rules. He asked for me; he's mine. And none of your tricks, either.
* It's the little things I enjoy.
* I keep my name out of the papers. I'm more effective that way.
* A deal is a deal. It's finished.
* Sign this, Bobby, and they'll stop laughing. Sign this and the whole world is yours.
* People think, because I'm the devil, I'm insensitive. That's not true.
* Listen, if I didn't exist, God would've had to make me up. I make him look good.
* Would I lie?

## Bobby Shelton

* I'd sell my soul to the devil to make it in this business, just for the chance.
* I've just never seen wine with an expiration date before.
* Where am I? Who am I? If I'm not me anymore, why do I still think I'm me? That's the part I can't understand.

## God

* Pretty nice, huh? I made it myself.
* You made a deal with the devil, how dumb could you be?
* You don't get to be as old as I am unless you can roll with the punches.
* He's always wanted to look like me, talk like me, be like me, but I'm God.

## Dialogue

    Bobby Shelton: Should I speak louder?
    Harry O. Tophet: Not unless you can't hear what you're saying.
    Bobby Shelton: Wait a minute. Who are you? [Tophet turns around, lights a cigar using his thumb] My God!
    Harry O. Tophet: Guess again.
    Bobby Shelton: But I thought this was a trial period; that's what you said.
    Harry O. Tophet: I lied. [begins exiting] You want anything, I'm at 666.
    Bobby Shelton: The rainbow disappeared.
    God: I'm trying to save on energy.
    Harry O. Tophet: You know, I don't have to do this. Shelton came to me; I didn't go to him. Rules are rules. You're out of it.
    God: But you lied to him. You told him it was for trial period. Is that according to the rules?
    Harry O. Tophet: Technicalities!
    God: You don't have clear title to this boy.
    Harry O. Tophet: Neither do you.
    God: Looks like we're in a grey area here, doesn't it?
    Harry O. Tophet: You bluffed. You had nothing. Why did I fold!?
    God: I put the fear of me in you.
