==Dialogue==
===Start===
Mephistopheles
: Faust fights like a tiger, skillfully defending himself against Mephistopheles' blows. The demon seems pleasantly surprised. "Really Faust, you wield demonic power like you were born with it. Have you ever considered becoming one, full-time?"
Faust
: "I may not be completely human... but you couldn't pay me to join your filthy ranks!" Faust is resentful and defiant. He came all this way—he certainly won't let the demon's taunts throw him off-course now.
: "I learned a few things on my journey, Mephistopheles. The pyramids, like a utopia, are the fruit of human wisdom and industry. Once you find an answer, it becomes wisdom, but this doesn't stop people from seeking it."
: "The quest for knowledge is one taken up by all of humankind. Our lives are finite, but generation after generation have carried the same torch, to drive back the darkness of ignorance. Though I have failed today, there will be others after me, and this quest will continue!"
Mephistopheles
: The demon yawns showily. "You and your philosophy, Faust. When will you learn that these are but the desperate ravings of a man at his wits' end? They can't save you any more than Orpheus could save his precious Eurydice." Mephistopheles tries not to roll his eyes, staring coldly at Faust.
: (When will this filthy worm stop his sanctimonious babbling?) thinks Mephistopheles impatiently. The demon decides to return to the tried-and-true method of shutting someone up, summoning more powerful minions to accost the waiting Faust.
