"If you put the word out that this movie is good," "We'll let you direct the sequel." "You would let me direct Everyman 2:" "Rise of the revenge?" "Absolutely!" "All you have to do Is tell your army of internet dweebs to go see this movie." "Hmm, sell my soul for hollywood lucre," "Or stay true to my lofty ideals." "Everyman, the motion picture, Is the combination of a life-long dream," "And I was one of the few who saw that dream realized on screen last night." "If there is one fault to find with this $200 million production," "It is that this is the worst movie ever!" "And send!" "And sip." "Though legislation was passed to ensure everyman was never seen on screens again" "He remains in the hearts of every man, woman and child" "Looking for justice, or just hoping to see bad people beaten up." "I'm so cold."
