JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 10: Mitternachts Walzer

Tourner dans le vide

Southern Bell: So, who's this Lucian Cane?

Carrera: Apparently, he's a physics student. I have his schedule right here and it says he lives here on campus.

Southern Bell: And so we're about to go pay him a lil visit, huh?

Carrera: That's the plan. Hey, Maddie, can I ask you a question?

Southern Bell: Ya just did.

Carrera: ...why do you have a lasso?

Southern Bell: Good eye. Pop pop always told me that a girl should always have a lasso at 'er side. Never know what y'er gonna need it for.

Carrera: I guess. You know, Maddie, I could never tell exactly what's going on in your head, but I feel like you know what you're doing.

Southern Bell: Hehe.

Narrator: Madeline "Southern" Bell. Age 22. Currently a college student at Harvard University. Since the age of 6, she had been helping around her parents farmstead to the best of her abilities. Becoming knowledgeable in the ways of the land and farm life, she decided that the best course of action to take in life would be to replenish the land and restore it's greenery in any way she could.

*A young Southern Bell kicks open a door to a barn startling the cows inside.*

Southern Bell: Milkin' time, Mrs. Cow!

Eddie: Madeline, you can't be doin' that. You're gonna scare em!

Southern Bell: hehe sorry, daddy. I'm just excited to milk the cows is all.

Eddie: Well then let's get to work. You 'member how I taught you, right?

Southern Bell: Mhm, approach slowly and talk smoothly, tie 'er up and wash the udders, strip and then milk.

Eddie: Attagirl.

Southern Bell: Can I milk ol' Bessie?

Eddie: Oh no no no. She's the oldest and she don't take kindly to new faces. I'll milk her.

Southern Bell: Mkay.

Narrator: Her time on the farm was filled with new adventures and wonders, but there was trouble in paradise.

Eddie: Listen, I've told you all a thousand times that I am not willing to sell this land. I don't care nothin' bout no gold or any of that. I got my family and my farm. That's all I need and you ain't gettin any of it. Now get off my property before I exercise my right to arms.

*The bankers look at each other before getting back into their car.*

Eddie: Go on now! Git!

Southern Bell: Daddy, who were those people?

Eddie: Evil people. Listen now, never trust a man like them. They're nothin but trouble.

Narrator: The pleasant times would abruptly come to an end as Southern Bell would learn more and more about the financial problems her family had been going through. At night, the arguing between her parents kept her up.

Eddie: THAT'S JUST ALL THERE IS TO IT!

Amanda: AND WHAT ABOUT MADDIE!? WHAT IS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ZERO COMMUNICATION SKILLS!? A GIRL LIKE HER WOULD BE SLAUGHTERED IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Narrator: These arguments prompted her to pray for better times...but they would never come. One night, as she got up in the middle of the night, she had come to the realization that the barn had been set ablaze.

*Southern Bell slips on her shoes and overalls as she makes her way outside. Grabbing her lasso, she runs straight into the burning barn to see the cattle relatively unharmed. She opens the pens to allow the distressed cows to escape all except Bessie who remains still and seemingly unbothered. Amanda and Eddie run out to the barn only go be met by Southern Bell stringing along Bessie as the barn collapses behind her.*
