\"blgdevildanielmouse\"Who are you? <\/span><\/p>\n

My card, pretty lady. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Devil May Care Music Production, Beelzebub Scratch, President. <\/span><\/p>\n

I like your style, too bad you’re not a singer. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, but I am, I am a singer! <\/span><\/p>\n

Hmm, no fooling. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

No, no listen… <\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic, different. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I want to be a star, of please! <\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve talked me into it. Contract! <\/em><\/span>
\nJust our standard contract, nothing fancy. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Fame, fortune, fans, gold records, concerts, world tours, your name in lights. <\/em><\/p>\n

Take your time, read it all. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, I give up. Can I trust you? <\/span>
\nOk, I’ll sign. <\/span><\/p>\n

Write! <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Where’s the ink? <\/span><\/p>\n

We always use  blood, it’s more permanent. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, I don’t know, can’t we wait for Dad? <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, sure, I’ll be back next year. Come on, Wease…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Next year?! Oh wait, wait, stop. I’ll sign. <\/span>
\nWhat about a band… I know a drummer. <\/span><\/p>\n

She can’t be bothered kid, she’s got an interview. <\/em>
\nThe interview circus is so absurd, and so silly. <\/em><\/p>\n

How do you feel about your sudden success? <\/em><\/p>\n

Well, I feel like being a big star is really great, you know. <\/span>
\nIt’s like, fabulous. Lonely, too, sometimes… <\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, that’s nice. <\/em><\/p>\n

This is the biggest thing ever to hit rock! <\/em>
\nYou’re at the top now, sweetie. <\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, but where do I go from here? <\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t worry!<\/em><\/p>\n

I want you, we have a bargain. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

No, I didn’t mean that, wait! <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been waiting, now it’s my turn. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Nooooooo!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

According to our contract, at precisely midnight, at the moment of her greatest triumph, <\/em><\/span>
\nthe party of the first part — that’s you —<\/strong> agrees to render up her soul now and forever more <\/em><\/span>
\nto the party of the second part — that’s me<\/strong>. <\/em><\/span>
\nShall we go?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
