Hey there, everybody!
[Oh Jack sounds so...warm and friendly...waitaminute. Yeah, that's not gonna last.]
Yeah, I just wanted to thank the many people who....
Oh!
Oh wait! Hold on....
No, like nobody stopped to help me when I was having a friggin medical emergency!
What the hell is wrong with you people? You see an old...er guy, right after a huge freaking battle, who can't breathe or walk, and you just run on by? Oh, or...or...just stand and stare and go 'uh you should be outside...'. YOU KNOW WHAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN WALK UP A BUNCH OF STAIRS DURING? A HEART ATTACK!
Shame on all of you. Shame on you, shame on your Pokemon, shame!
In case you were wondering whatever happened to that really sick dude you didn't lend a hand to...I'm fine now. But I wasn't!
You know. What with the heart attack!
[Except of course he was fine, he faked a heart attack in the name of Team Rocket, but nobody but his fellow Rockets know that. He feels his point stands, though. For all appearances, he'd had some kind of cardiac event during the base raid. And he's still sour over the lack of people who seemed to even notice.]
[He's Handsome Jack! Everybody should drop everything to help him if he so much as stubs his toe...]

But it doesn't just fall into your lap, you gotta work hard for it. Bleed for it.
[It'd be nice if it did, but shit doesn't work that way. But again, it's what people want. They want quick fixes, simple answers. So they jump on'em.]

[Like her father, or the other participants of the Holy Grail War. Even Saber...
She has thought it before, and likely will again, but—it's strange, how there are more people who understand her now than she ever met in her previous life.]
Still, when we've been abducted to populate this miniature garden, you would think people would be more wary.
no subject
[Jack waves his hand in a vague motion.]
It's like I said, they want the dream and they want it easy. How many people really are gonna put in the effort it takes to do something big? Sacrifice what it takes to sacrifice? Not many, sweetheart. But they want it. So...
[He shrugs and gestures out the window. They're happy taking the easy way. They make themselves busy and pretend to love their lives and don't ask too many questions or step out of line in hopes of not frigging it all up.]
And shit, people'll put up with all kinds of stuff, for an illusion of peace, let alone the reality.
