Talk
- “Name's Merrick. I'm a wizard. Well, I was cast as one. Forty years ago.”
- “The Audience cancelled the fantasy season and went with westerns. A horse is cheaper than a dragon. Not by much, but a horse doesn't eat the crew.”
- “I do one show a day, for whoever walks up. Mostly goats. Goats are a tough room.”
- “The props still work, that's the funny thing. I wave the staff and something happens. Nobody's more surprised than me. Except the something.”
- “Nobody ever told me the show was over. I figure if I stay up here long enough, nobody ever will.”
- “That ring of stones was the season finale. Never aired. I still keep it dusted.”
When you walk off mid-sentence
- “Oh. Walking out in the middle. That's how the whole season went.”
- “Well. There goes the audience. Again.”
- “That's alright. I'll finish it anyway. I've finished plenty nobody saw.”
