Jeffrey Licon: Goth Kid God

Quotes 

• [series last lines] 

  Joan Girardi : Okay, God, so what's the message here? Ryan is the adversary?

  Goth Kid God : I told you before, he's a connection.

  Joan Girardi : He's evil.

  Goth Kid God : Connections are mostly neutral, Joan. Ryan is human, and every human, by virtue of free will, has the choice of how to direct his actions for good or evil.

  Joan Girardi : Yeah, he's made it clear how he's directing his.

  Goth Kid God : He saved Adam. He got him a job.

  Joan Girardi : He trashed churches and burned down a synagogue.

  Goth Kid God : The universe is kinetic, Joan. Every day, you have to make a choice. Make it better or worse. Most people do a little bit of both. And there are those powerful enough to overbalance the scales on either end.

  Joan Girardi : So is this fancy talk for you expect me to save the world?

  Goth Kid God : Counterbalance is a better word.

  Joan Girardi : You want me to fight back?

  Goth Kid God : I expect you to fulfill your true nature, same as it ever was.

  Joan Girardi : I really don't think I'm up to this.

  Goth Kid God : I think you are, or else you wouldn't have met him.

  Joan Girardi : This... this is seriously going to cut into my normal high school routine.

  Goth Kid God : You never liked high school that much.

  Joan Girardi : If you want me to do this, I get it, but I can't do it alone. My own father doesn't believe me. My ex-boyfriend is siding with the Devil. I have no weapons. Other people who have fought back, you know, like, the other Joan, she had an army, okay? I don't have anything like that. I-I-I... where's my army?

  [God glances at her group of friends] 

  Joan Girardi : Yeah. So basically I'm on my own.

  Goth Kid God : You have everything you need, Joan.
