Step out in public like the fire-eatin’ boy, and nicely set fire to yourself. Or else, just see sense and come on board with me! You’ll be doin’ just exactly what you did before. But instead of just fast-talkin’ people into a new way of life—hell, words never stick anyhow—you can blast ’em into it. When you do that to ’em, they don’t go back, son. Just like you’re never going back."
