Patricia:
How? How did you get here without anyone seeing you?
Elijah Price:
Ma'am. I'm here to see if the tales of the extraordinary being are real, the half-man, half-creature.
Patricia:
Patricia. But I appreciate your manners. I don't know anymore.
Elijah Price:
I'm a comic book expert, Patricia. I believe comic books are a continuation of documentation that has gone on for centuries of what humans are capable of. That they are someone somewhere saw or left. Are you aware that spandex, the underwear on the outside, and boots come from strongmen in the circus in the 1930s?
Patricia:
No.
Elijah Price:
The freak show men who could do incredible feats of strength. I urge you to look past the capes and monologuing villains. Are you with me?
Patricia:
Yes.
Elijah Price:
I only have a minute left. I believe The Beast may be part of this. There are references to man/animal characters. The dual character, the man who has abilities like animals. I'd like to meet The Beast, see if he's real. If he is, then I'll get us all out of here tomorrow night. What's upsetting you, Patricia?
Patricia:
What if he can't do these extraordinary things? What if he is just unwell? Like you.
Elijah Price:
Everything extraordinary can be explained away, and yet it is true. I think deep down you know this. Everything we will see and do will have a basis in science. But it will have limits. This is the real world, not a cartoon. And yet some of us don't die from bullets. Some of us can still bend steel. That is not a fantasy.
