- Bradley: [four men seated around a table recording an interview] Just a few more questions, Mr. Blackstone.
- Sherman Blackstone: Ahh, anything I can do to help.
- Bradley: Because we're having a hard time understanding how this crisis came to its present resolution.
- Sherman Blackstone: Right. Well I will go over it again, but it happened really fast.
- Eddie: [cut to Eddie and John, guns drawn, entering the dining room] Move! Move! Back! I said move!
- John: Back off!
- Bradley: [cut back to interview] No, no, no, no. I was referring to the actual succession process itself. I thought we were all agreed, and you'll correct me if I'm wrong here, Malachi was supposed to replace Willard Cates. So, what happened?
- Sherman Blackstone: Health problems. He had a weak heart.
- [cut to scene with Malachi impaled and stood up by a pitchfork]
- Bradley: [cut back to interview table] Hmm. Well according to our information, Malachi had a pitchfork shoved clean through his upper torso puncturing both his lungs and, oh, severing his spinal cord.
- Sherman Blackstone: That's just about the worst thing you could do to someone with a bad heart.
- Hank: What happened to Stokes?
- Sherman Blackstone: Drinking problem.
- Bradley: According to my notes, he swallowed two ounces of sulfuric acid mixed into a White Russian.
- Sherman Blackstone: That's the worst thing you can do to someone with a drinking problem.
