A/N~ I love this episode. Who else loves maniac Five??

-"Now nothing, Luther, all right? Make your peace with God."-

-"Screw them both. They should have been here."-

-"Screw Diego, all right? Screw everybody! I was better off on my own in the apocalypse."-

-"You know what, Luther? It's every sibling for himself now. How 'bout that?"-

***

-"Don't you get it, Luther? It's over, all right? We're already dead."-

-"I'm going to do the unthinkable."-

-"[sighs] I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this."-

***

-"I'm gonna need to be hydrated. [sighs]"-

-"It'll help with the itching."-

-"Well, it's a desperation move, but...since our brain-dead siblings are incapable of meeting a simple deadline, I got no choice."-

-"I have to find myself."-

-"I just arrived in Dallas 15 minutes ago."-

-"Luther, if you recall, I was sent to 1963 on a job by the Commission to make sure the president was assassinated."-

-"Precisely. [exhales]"-

-"Walking around Dallas with a briefcase that can get us home."-

-"However, there are two significant problems with this plan."-

-"Problem number one: I am a trained assassin, arguably the most dangerous assassin in the space-time continuum. If I know me, I'm not going to react kindly to bumping into myself."-

-"Problem number two, and this is the real fly in the ointment here: you're not supposed to exist in close proximity to yourself in the same timeline. The side effects can be disastrous."-

-"Well, according to Commission Handbook Chapter 27, subsection 3b, the seven stages of paradox psychosis are...stage one: denial, two: itching, three: extrerme thirst and urination, four: excessive gas, five: acute paranoia, six: uncontrolled perspiration, and seven: homicidal rage."-

-"Yeah."-

-"It's a Hail Mary. But what choice do we got, Luther?"-

-"Look, Luther, I'm gonna need you to help me get through this one, all right? I...I need a spotter."-

-"Yeah."-

-"In case the paradox psychosis gets too severe, I need you to help me stay on task, all right? So, whatever happens, whatever I say, we need to get that briefcase. Okay?"-

-"Okay."-

-"Luther, come on."-

A/N~ For the scenes with older Five and younger Five; young Five: normal font; Old five: bold font. My favorite lines will still be: underline italics but for Older five, it will be bolded underline italics. When it's both young and old five speaking, it will be bold italics.
