So I'm reading War and Peace right now. I'm only on Part Two of Volume 1. The amount of french in that book is a lot. That's all I have to say.

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
Mr. Hermes!

{HERMES, spoken}
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
Where's Eurydice?

"Dead." Persephone said quietly.

{HERMES, spoken}
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere

"That line is really clever." Elizabeth said.

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
Where is she?

{HERMES, spoken}
Why you wanna know?

{ORPHEUS}
Wherever she is, is where I'll go

"Not here, but that's sweet." Persephone said.

{HERMES, spoken}
And what if I said she's down below?

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
Down below?

{HERMES, spoken}
Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listening

"That happens to a lot of people." Hades said.

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
No...

{HERMES, spoken}
So...
Just how far would you go for her?

{ORPHEUS}
To the end of time
To the end of the earth

{HERMES, spoken}
You got a ticket?

{ORPHEUS, spoken}
No...?

{HERMES, spoken}
Yeah, I didn't think so
Course there is another way
But nah, I ain't supposed to say

"I'm going to tell him, aren't I?" asked Hermes.

"Maybe." Elizabeth said.

{ORPHEUS}
Another way?

{HERMES, spoken}
Around the back
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack
It ain't for the sensitive of soul
So do you really wanna go?

{ORPHEUS}
With all my heart

{HERMES, spoken}
With all your heart?
Well, that's a start

He really does love her, Persephone thought.
