Sympathy for Delicious Page #6
DELICIOUS DEAN IS GOD.
DESPITE THE GROWING NUMBER
AND THE AMA DENOUNCING
THE SHOW AS A HOAX
AND PROJECTED TICKET SALES
REACHING INTO THE MILLIONS,
WHAT FANS ARE LOOKING FOR.
A NEED TO BELIEVE.
A NEED FOR SOMETHING MORE
FROM THEIR MUSIC.
SOMETHING IN THE FORM
OF A TOUCH:
FROM THE BAND'S MESSIANIC
SUPERSTAR.
- SHE JUST PULLED ME
RIGHT OUT OF THE CROWD,
SAID "JUST PU THE NECK BRACE ON."
UGH. SH*T. EASIEST $100
I'VE EVER MADE.
SHE MADE YOU:
SAY SOMETHING TOO?
MM-HMM.
- WHAT'S UP?
- NOTHING.
- WHERE THE F*** HAVE YOU BEEN?
AND WHERE THE F*** IS ARIEL?
WE F***ING REHEARSED THIS.
YOU ENTER BEFORE ME.
LISTEN TO ME, F*** HEAD.
YOU JUST GET OUT THERE
AND TURN YOUR F***ING TRICKS.
COME ON, YEAH!
LET'S F***IN' HAVE IT.
WHERE THE WATER:
HAD STOPPED:
IN THE CRADLE OF FUSES
WAITING FOR A FINAL SOLUTION
ELIMINATE THE ACCENT
DO I DIMINISH THE THREAT?
SOMETIMES I NEED YOU
JUST TO STAY:
A LITTLE UPSET:
DO YOU OR DON'T YOU
WANT TO BELIEVE?
IT'S WHAT YOU NEED
WE'VE GOT A LITTLE MAGIC TRICK
FOR YOU TONIGHT.
AND SIDESHOW ACTION.
THAT'S RIGHT, DEAN.
THEY'RE CALLING FOR YOU, MAN.
GIVE US A LITTLE BI
OF YOUR F***ING MAGIC HANDS TRICK.
THAT'S RIGHT. F***ING HEALING.
- SHUT THE F*** UP.
COME ON. HA HA HA.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE HEALING.
COME ON THERE, MAN.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
GIVE THEM A HEALING, DEAN.
- SHUT THE F*** UP.
HEAL THEM. HEAL THEM, DEAN.
- F*** YOU, THE STAIN!
- USE YOUR MAGIC HANDS.
F*** YOU.
GIVE THEM YOUR MAGIC HANDS, MAN.
- COME HERE! RIGHT HERE!
- GIVE THEM YOUR MAGIC HANDS.
- LET HIM GO. COME ON.
- COME ON.
- LET HIM GO.
- COME ON.
WHERE IS IT?
- COME ON.
COME ON.
HEY, ARIEL. ARIEL.
DUDE, STOP.
STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP.
DUDE, STAIN.
DUDE, DUDE, DUDE,
GET THE F***ING PARAMEDICS.
SHE'S OD'ING.
SHE'S F***ING OD'ING MAN.
F***. DUDE. ARIEL. F***, MAN.
HERE.
RIGHT HERE:
IS WHERE HOMICIDE BEGINS.
IN THESE PRECIOUS MOMENTS,
WHEN LIFE-SAVING DECISIONS
COULD HAVE BEEN MADE,
WHAT WAS ON THE MIND
OF THE ROCK STAR,
DEAN O'DWYER?
WHAT WAS HE THINKING
AS ARIEL LEE LAY AT HIS FEET,
TAKING HER LAST BREATH?
WAS HE THINKING,
"WOW, WHAT A SHOW.
HOW ARE WE GOING
TO RECREATE THIS?"
HE WAS NOT THINKING
ABOUT ARIEL LEE:
BECAUSE IF HE WAS,
HELP WOULD HAVE GOTTEN
TO ARIEL LEE:
AND THAT, BY DEFINITION,
IS MANSLAUGHTER.
- THIS IS A TRAGEDY
TO SAY THE LEAST.
WE ARE ALL ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
DELICIOUS D'S ACTIONS
AND WE ASK FOR YOUR SENSITIVITY
AT THIS TIME.
ARIEL LEE DID NOT DIE
BECAUSE OF NEGLECT.
ARIEL LEE DIED:
BECAUSE SHE OD'D.
THEY WERE...
PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE HEALED.
DEAN, MAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE LE THE PARAMEDICS AT HER
OR WHATEVER HAPPENED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
JUST REMEMBER,
YOU ARE UNDER OATH,
SO JUST...
JUST TELL US THE TRUTH.
I SAY HE IS THE LIVING EMBODIMEN
OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN HUMANKIND.
WE ALL WANT TO KNOW
THERE'S GOOD IN PEOPLE.
AND I'M NO EXCEPTION TO THAT.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ALL PAR OF THE SHOW.
TO CALL FOR HELP,
BUT POWER HAD BEEN CU TO THE STAGE
AND THE PARAMEDICS
HAD BEEN BLOCKED.
I DIDN'T GET TO SAY
WHAT NEEDED:
TO BE SAID THAT NIGHT.
AND IT'S SOMETHING
I'VE BEEN ASKED NOT TO SAY
BY DEAN O'DWYER AND NINA HOGUE.
OBJECTION.
- YOUR HONOR, SIDEBAR PLEASE.
- AND THAT IS THAT HE'S A FAKE.
- SIDEBAR.
- HE'S A PHONY.
- OBJECTION!
- HE'S A FRAUD.
- ORDER!
- THIS CHARLATAN SON OF A B*TCH!
- BAILIFF, REMOVE HIM.
HE CAN'T HEAL SH*T!
IT WAS ALL A F***ING ACT!
YOU WERE ALL DUPED!
- ORDER!
HE NEVER COULD HEAL!
YOU BOUGHT A F***ING LIE!
WELL, WELCOME
TO THE F***ING SHOW!
AS THE RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY FIGURE
WHO FIRST ENCOURAGED THIS GIFT,
HEALING TECHNIQUE
AND HIS INTENSE:
CONCENTRATION,
INTERRUPTED BY THE PARAMEDICS.
IN THAT REGARD, THAT MAKES YOU
OUR EXPERT WITNESS.
AND CHARACTER WITNESS
DESCRIBING DEAN'S EARLY HEALINGS
ON SKID ROW.
HOW PURE HIS MOTIVES WERE.
MR. O'DWYER HAS GRACIOUSLY
AGREED FREE OF CHARGE
AND FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
OF TIME:
AND LAY HANDS:
ON WHOMEVER YOU WISH.
- YES.
- NO. NO.
FOR A MOMENT PLEASE?
IS RIGHT, FATHER.
BY THE WAY, JUST SO YOU KNOW,
I'M A MARYMOUNT GIRL
AND I-I HAD THE CALLING
TO BE A NUN,
BUT I LOST MY WAY.
MAYBE SOMETIME WE'D GET TOGETHER
AND TALK ABOUT THAT.
CERTAINLY.
- THANK YOU, FATHER.
- THANK YOU, FATHER.
SOMETHING ELSE, HUH?
I, UM, I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.
SHOW YOU SOME OF THE GOOD WORK
YOU DID.
THAT MEXICAN WOMAN
WHOSE HANDKERCHIEF YOU TOUCHED,
YOU HEALED HIM.
THE CLOTH,
IT CARRIED THE POWER.
HEALAPALOOZA HANKIES, HUH?
SOLD THEM:
AT THE T-SHIRT BOOTHS.
THEY'RE TRYING TO SAY
THAT I KILLED SOMEBODY.
THAT'S BULLSHIT.
THEY'RE JUST COMING AFTER ME
BECAUSE OF WHO I AM.
ARIEL WAS A JUNKIE.
SHE TOOK A BUNCH OF PILLS.
AND I DID EVERYTHING I COULD.
- IT'S HARD TO KNOW,
ISN'T IT?
- OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
LET'S MAKE IT RIGHT.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOUR SHELTER?
HOW ABOUT THIS?
THE LORD WORKS:
IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS.
THINK OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HELP.
I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY, DEAN.
I MISUSED YOU.
- IT'S OKAY. I FORGIVE YOU.
DO THIS FOR ME.
I'LL TESTIFY
TO THE HEALINGS THAT I SAW,
BUT THAT'S IT.
I WON'T BE
YOUR CHARACTER WITNESS
BECAUSE I-I WON'T GE ON THAT STAND
AND SAY THAT...
THAT YOUR MOTIVES WERE PURE.
- I DON'T KNOW, DEAN.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU ABANDONED
THOSE PEOPLE:
WHEN THEY NEEDED YOU.
YOU ABANDONED THEM
TO BECOME A ROCK STAR.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY?
- I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
- OH! NO!
NO, YOU CAN'T LIE.
YOU CAN'T CON PEOPLE.
YOU DON'T USE PEOPLE
FOR YOUR OWN GLORY.
YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.
WHAT IF ON CROSS-EXAMINATION,
MY LAWYER ASKS:
WHAT WERE YOUR MOTIVES?
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY GRAND.
THAT HAS NO BEARING
ON ANY OF THIS, DEAN.
- OH, YES, IT DOES.
- NO, IT DOESN'T.
- OH, YES IT DOES.
- NO.
YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION
FOR THIS WHOLE THING.
PAYING FOR MIRACLES.
SO LET'S JUST SAY, FATHER,
THAT YOU'RE GONNA GE ON THE STAND
AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL
THE F***ING TRUTH.
THE TRUTH IS IS THAT YOU
PROSTITUTED YOUR GIFT.
NO, THE TRUTH
IS YOU PROSTITUTED ME.
- PROVE IT ISN'T.
ON YOUR BIBLE:
AND SAY YOU DIDN'T DO THAT?
