>"Stop that. I told you, everyone's got their own stuff going on. This is MY fight, I'll handle it, and when I win--"Colby:
>"No. If you were a Divine Angel, you would NOT be facing this alone. We'd ALL be there for you. Even now, let me ask you: who's the ONE PERSON who showed up at your apartment to talk to you about this, even if it's not always stuff you wanna hear?"Carmody:
>"You are, Colby, but--"Colby:
>"Make no mistake. Priscilla Divine's going to beat you. And when she does, all your friends and supporters are gonna be secretly relieved. They'll console you, saying 'that was really good for your first title match' and 'you'll get her next time' and all that, but then that's the end of it. They can say that, because there won't be a 'next time' for a long time to come. And then there'll be a contract sitting in front of you, which I'll be honest: I do NOT want you to sign. I want you to go home and do something else with your life. But no, if you're actually doing this, let's DO IT. You'll have my full support. You'll have Amy's full support. You'll find out that Priscilla and Nikki aren't what you think they are, and you'll have their support too. And if your Dojo friends judge you for accepting our kindness and support? That says more about them than it does about you."
