"Newsflash, Hornet.... I don't say whatever's on my mind because I'm trying to sell T-shirts or because I have a desperate need to get attention."
YOU don't have a desperate need for attention? You, Eli? Everybody step away before the lightning kills us all.
Your entire life has been about attention, Eli. I've sat in locker rooms and listened to you and Ivy argue about what nickname you ought to use next. I've listened to you whine about how you don't get the respect you deserve... and about who you have to 'teach a lesson.'
And your entire life has been a sob story of your own making. Your more pathetic than good ol' Mark Windham with a family history that even HE can't keep up. We had to listen for two years about 'poor Eli' mourning over his dear departed Alicia. Then the next three were all about how 'poor Eli' didn't get his big break. And the last two have been about how 'poor Eli' isn't appreciated, because Deacon came along, and the fans are fickle.
Integrity, Eli? It's easy to hold onto your ideals when they sway in the wind like a stalk of corn. It's simply your way of rationalizing all the moves you've made over the years. "Oh, that wasn't my fault, it was because I was sticking to my ideals, and everybody else be damned."
Well guess what, Eli? Damn you. Damn you for your rationalizations and for your manic-depressive need for reassurance. If there's anything I've ever done, it's take responsibility, even for actions that weren't mine... like a certain car crash.
Johnny Fizzbin? (laughs) Now that's a name I haven't heard from in a while. Wonder how he got that injury that put you in the hot seat anyway.... (laughs) (fadeout)
