The Illuminati mocks Lacey. Making silly sexual jokes. Telling her they’re velociraptors.
As she literally dances to “The Rush” by Bob Moses.
Like an actual Ancient Egyptian.
The Illuminati: We thought it was popping at first. And then we had her stand in front of a mirror. And we realized there’s no way she knows those moves. It’s not popping.
Listen to “Heartaches” by Al Bowlly.
The Illuminati: What just happened?
Scotia: I killed us all.
0:47
Scotia: If I’m Scotia.
And if God so wants.
The Illuminati: That’s not so bad.
Lacey: *smiles*
No.
We’re fine.
The Illuminati: I’m 76. I’m not even afraid to die.
Lacey: I’m sorry if it doesn’t work.
The Illuminati: Well, it might.
We’ll see.
Lacey: It’s for the best. Of course.
If it even does.
Listen to “Midnight, the Stars and You” by Al Bowlly.
Lacey: Well.
Too bad we can’t all dance like that…
The Illuminati: I’m done playing chicken, Lacey.
Lacey: I’m not Jack reincarnated.
The Illuminati: A lot of us know that.
Not all of us.
Lacey: I know the reference.
But…I don’t know it.
The Illuminati: Think of the stories you’ve heard of Jack Kennedy.
Lacey: YES!
Chicken.
The Illuminati: So. We pretend. Until one of us…gives in? No.
No.
Did I just read you thinking that’s Chicken?
Lacey: Yes.
Because…you’re going on until you chicken-out.
The Illuminati: No. That’s not the game JFK played-
Lacey: Then what’s Chicken?
*Later*
The Illuminati: It’s when you threaten someone and they threaten you back. And then the rest of it is what you said.
But you’re not-
It’s a test of courage.
Lacey: Huh.
So you’re supposed to back out?
The Illuminati: Yes!
Lacey: You’re supposed to back out…
The Illuminati: YES!!!!
Lacey: Then why!?
What a weird idea. I’m sorry.
