Highlights: I am Dustin McGowan of the Clan McGowan. I was born in 1982 in the village of Savannah on the shores of Abbhainn Savannah. And I am immortal. |
McGOWAN: I have been alive for nine innings. And I cannot die.
RAMIREZ: From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.
McGOWAN: Dude, I have no idea what you are talking about, but I feel pretty cool because I just pitched a complete game.
RAMIREZ: When only a few of us are left, we will feel an irresistible pull towards a far away land, to fight for the Prize.
McGOWAN: My team is totally eliminated, man. No prize for us.
RAMIREZ: The Yankee. He is the strongest of all the immortals. He’s the perfect warrior. If he wins the Prize, mortal man would suffer an eternity of darkness.
McGOWAN: How do you fight such a savage?
RAMIREZ: With heart, faith and steal. In the end there can be only one.
McGOWAN: Manny, you are really freaking me out now. Maybe you should get some professional help.
RAMIREZ: Crude and slow clansman, your attack was no better then that of a clumsy child.
McGOWAN: I didn’t even pitch to you! And I struck nine of your teammates out! This cannot be, it’s the devil’s work.
RAMIREZ: You cannot die, McGowan, accept it.
McGOWAN: I hate you.
RAMIREZ: Good. That is a perfect place to start.
