Pinhead

The box. You opened it. We came.

• The box. You opened it. We came.

• You solved the box, we came. Now you must come with us. Taste our pleasures!

• No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.

• We have such sights to show you!

• We'll tear your soul apart!

• This isn't for your eyes!

• Ah, the suffering. The sweet, sweet suffering.

• Come here, damn you, I want to touch you.

• I thought I'd gone to the limits. I hadn't. The Cenobites gave me an experience beyond limits... pain and pleasure, indivisible.

• Come to Daddy.

• (As he is torn apart) Jesus wept.
