[ The Outsider is out back behind a restaurant in Jeopardy, sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall. And there are flies. Lots of flies. Flies buzz around the area and around his head, and he doesn't twitch or blink his deep, pitch black eyes. ]
If this world ends, will you regret what you have done here? If it doesn't, will you have to live with what you've done? Or perhaps, you will live with what you didn't do. Do you sit on the sidelines, assuming this world has nothing to do with you since it's not your own? Or do you use this as an opportunity to build a new life while you can?
You could be sent away at any moment, but then again - how's that so different from having to live as if you could die at any moment? If that never stopped you - and won't now - then why care?
[ A fly lands on his cheek.]
I'm surprised at how few deaths there have been among you, but perhaps it's pointless if the one you're killing just comes back. But if death doesn't matter, why bother to mourn? Some of you will get mourned, at least. There's always the ones whose deaths are met with relief and a wish they'd stay gone, aren't there?
