Old Ptolemy: His tragedy was one of increasing loneliness and impatience with those who could not understand him, and if his desire to unite Greek and barbarian ended in failure... what failure? His failure towered over other men's successes. I've lived... I've lived a long life, Cadmos. But the glory and the memory of man will always belong to the ones who follow their great visions. And the greatest of these is the one they now... call "Megas Alexandros" - the greatest Alexander of them all.More [03/23/2007 12:03:00]

Clay's right - trouble grows around me like weeds. Everyone I touch... I shouldn't of come back. I'm leaving.



Tracy Mitchell:
All right, you leave again, but not without me. You think I tried to keep the ranch goin' for myself? I don't want it without you; I don't want any part of that loneliness again.

The Monster:
For as long as I can remember people have hated me. They looked at my face and my body and they ran away in horror. In my loneliness I decided that if I could not inspire love, which is my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear. I live because this poor half-crazed genius, has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself.

What has she got to do with this?

[shocked] Sylvia is a married woman!

There. The spell is cast. Now, everyone in town will know the loneliness they've made me feel.



The Spirit:
Not quite. Look. These two children still care very much about everyone... except you.



Nicholas:
But they weren't at all under my spell.

Nicholas:
What do you mean everyone?



The Spirit:
Now, go!



Nicholas:
A lesson? What kind of lesson?



The Spirit:
Never mind that. You must now collect the ingredients for your next spell.
