𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝟏𝐄𝟏 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 - 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟏
You know what they say, Officer… If it’s getting too loud, you’re gettin’ too old.
Do you know why I pulled you over?
I like to punish people too.
Feels good to get away with something, doesn’t it?
People like to tell me things. Those deep, dark, naughty little desires that’re really on their minds.
It’s a gift.
Here, take more, it’s only money.
You people are funny about your laws.
Have I ever told you how incredibly sexy you are when you can’t control your emotions?
I’m retired. I’ve got nothing but time.
I think you have a visitor.
How’s it hanging, big guy?
Your return to The Underworld has been… requested.
Yep, here it is. The seventh of Never through the fifteenth of Ain’t Gonna Happen? How’s that work for you guys?
I’m consistently surprised by the whole no sense of humor thing.
Look, remind Dad I quit Hell because I was sick and tired of playing a part in his play.
I’ll warn you against disrespecting Our Father.
You are a mockery of everything divine.
Do you think I’m the devil because I’m inherently evil or simply because dear ol’ Dad decided I was? Isn’t this a classic case of labeling?
What do you think happens when the Devil leaves Hell? All those demons, those tormented souls… where do they go?
Tell Father, I’m not. Going. Back.
So you, my feathered friend, can go to hell.
He will not be merciful much longer.
Can I have your autograph?
Reminds me of how it was before everything got so big and messy.
Sometimes I feel like you were the only one who was ever really honest with me.
Did I sell my soul to the Devil?
That would imply the Devil is actually interested in your soul.
I told you I wanted to be a star and that’s when things started happening for me.
You do call yourself Lucifer.
Call me whatever you want, but I’m really just a patron of the arts.
Honestly, I introduced you to a few key people who owed me favors. That’s all.
Do you think I’m talented?
You have one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard. It’s sweet, dirty, sexy, soulful…
I knew you were a star, I just helped the world catch up.
Because along with the good came a hell of a lot of bad.
Oh, so the Devil made you do it?
Your choices are on you, my dear.
The toxic relationships were my biggest screw-up. God, I really do have the worst taste in men…
I can’t believe you almost married that sweaty little imp…
You introduced us!
I suggested you work with him – not sleep with him.
I got confused!
He trapped me in the bathroom at the Grammys a month ago. Cried. Said he wanted to get back together.
God, I’m such a mess.
God has nothing to do with your mess anymore than I do.
You didn’t sell your soul, but you do owe me a favor. Looks like it’s time to settle up.
I’m scared…
What I’m about to ask is going to be quite difficult for you.
Get it together before it’s too late. You’re wasting your talent. Your life.
I let you down.
Then fix it.
I’m gonna do what you asked. I’m gonna get it together. I promise.
It’s not about me. All these terrible things that weren’t supposed to happen? They happened. What happens next is up to you.
What did you do?
Tell me why. Why did you end her life?
I can smell death coming for you – shall I speed it along?
Times like these I wish I was back in Hell.
