(An arm breaks through the glass wall behind Knox and pulls him out into the lobby. )

HARMONY: Hey!

(she runs out to the lobby after him)

HARMONY: Come back here, you little—

(she sees Illyria)

HARMONY: Oh, my God. Fred?

(Illyria sends Harmony flying)

KNOX: (gleeful) I knew you'd come for me. My life is yours. I—I worship you.

ILLYRIA: (not paying much attention to him) Yes, I know. Worship.

(fade to black. Commercial. Resume)

KNOX: I've been waiting so long for this. I've loved you from the moment I saw you. I was 11. You were ancient. Pressed between the pages of the forbidden texts. I would stare at you for hours, locked in my room. My mom thought I was looking at porn.

ILLYRIA: You are the Qwa'ha Xahn.

KNOX: I am your priest. I am your servant. I am your guide in this world.

(he pulls up his undershirt so Illyria can see his chest, where there are lumpy things under his skin besides an ugly stitched scar)

KNOX: I've taken your sacraments and placed them close to my heart according to the ancient ways. That's why you were called to me. We're bound together.

ILLYRIA: My last Qwa'ha Xahn was taller.

(she stands, walks away, back toward her sarcophagus)

KNOX: (deflated) I—I may be shrinking a bit in the glory of your presence.

ILLYRIA: This world... it's not how I left it.

KNOX: I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do about that.

ILLYRIA: But I can.

(turns to face Knox, rips her shirt off)

KNOX: (gawking) Oh...OK.
