[Video] [Shepherd's Haven]

[witnessme]

[Nux is very frequently shirtless, even when the weather's a little cold and nippy. Summer's coming in the Southern Hemisphere, so this is true even more often, but today, there's something really different about the familiar sight of his slender, well-muscled torso. It's also adorned with elaborate scarification that looks like car parts. He keeps touching and scratching at it, looking distracted and a little bit distraught.]

So, uh... people are remembering things, yeah? I was digging a hole for fenceposts and I was daydreaming, but... you know, during the day.

You... you know what I'm trying to say, right? I was there, but I wasn't there. I had this thing on my chest when I woke up, and I remembered the sort of... religion my Other had. He definitely wasn't Catholic. I think he worshiped cars, called it the Cult of the V8.

I mean, I like cars, but I don't think they're gods or anything like that.

'Course not, but that's a little different don't you think? His Other was a human that chose to do those things. I'm not human. I don't know how many times I've gotta say it.

Whatever everyone's just going to keep fucking disregarding anything I have to say on the matter.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

My point is you still got choices. Not everyone had human Others, and I'm not saying I know what that's like, but everyone's dealing with trouble. That's what I am saying.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Then let me deal with mine in my own way. You don't know what it's like, you can't.

[And the only other person who did get it left him so. Bit sore about that still.]

[Voice]

[witnessme]

No matter how much of an ass you are, I'm not gonna stop trying. I'm not the only one either.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

[Why can't he just be left aloooone? Annoyed sounds.]

I don't know what you think you're accomplishing here. If I come back it's because I'm good and ready, and not before then.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

When you come back. Not if.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Yeah yeah. Fine. Probably when.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

When, when, say when!

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Alright, alright! When, shit. Relax, dude.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

That's a promise and you have to keep it.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

What? I never said that! Now you're putting words in my mouth.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

You'd only be upset about calling it a promise if you didn't mean it from the start.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Look, dude, I don't like being forced into things you know that.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

You saying you're being forced to come through for your friends, huh?

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

I'm saying I don't like being forced to make promises I don't know I can keep.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

You saying you're not strong enough to find a way if you really care?

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

I'm not sure I am, no.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

I am sure.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Well.

Thanks for the vote of confidence I guess.

[Voice]

[witnessme]

My confidence isn't enough though.

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

You still trying to guilt me?

[Voice]

[witnessme]

I dunno. You feel guilty?

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

Nux, quit.

[That would be a yes.]

[Voice]

[witnessme]

Well then I dunno, because guilty people try to change, don't they?

[Voice]

[oncedevil]

[Growl.]

I'm trying that's why I left god damn it.
