This is the warning.

Boy of Tongue-In-Cheek Bullsh*t: Behold! This is the truth, I shall write to absolve you of your wrongdoings! I shall lead you upon the path towards righteousness! Read, and be amazed!

The Masses: We are so very amazed!

Tongue: Behold! For I am in his cheek! Be amazed!

The Masses: We are amazed!

Boy of Tongue-In-Cheek Bullsh*t: Behold, for I am the bringer of justice! I am the rock. I am the foundation. I am infallible.

Man of Resilience: [Swings onto the stage] Hold your tongue!

The Masses: We are shocked! The entry of a new villain! Which evil is greater?

Man of Resilience: The evil that fails to recognize itself as so. The evil that recognizes the balance between good and evil is less evil than the one that seeks to destroy. The lesser of two evils seeks balance, and does not seek conflict.

The Masses: He is right!

Boy of Tongue-In-Cheek Bullsh*t: But they know the truth. [Points off-stage]

Man of Resilience: You are cheating! The fourth wall exists to separate the drama of the stage from the drama that these people face each and every day! Why try to unite them? What is created? What remains? Why do you seek to destroy?

The Masses: It is over!

Man of Resilience: You have heard them, now leave it be. Let the play go on, but discontinue this attempt to reawaken conflict. Your problem lies not with the audience, but with the audience members. Seek them out on your own time.

[Enter Harlequin]

Harlequin: We cook your food, we pump your gas, we balance your checks, we keep your machine oiled. We are the smooth transition that exists to keep you comfortable. Do not f*** with us.

[Exeunt All].
