Jolene Purdy: Shoshana

Quotes 

• Julia Wicker : Uh-oh, you think she's who we're looking for?

  [a woman is putting a noose over her head] 

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Whoa, whoa, wait, wait! Don't!

  Shoshana : Why not?

  Julia Wicker : Because you have something to live for.

  Shoshana : I'm a maenad. The god that I'm here to serve is dead. I literally have nothing to live for. But thanks. Thanks for the less than basic understanding of my life's purpose!

  Julia Wicker : No no no, wait, don't, please, we need your help...

  Shoshana : Shoshana.

  Julia Wicker : Shoshana. We need your help, Shoshana.

  [She picks up a bottle from the ground] 

  Shoshana : [Weeping, and taking her head out of the noose]  Peach schnapps! Bacchus left that for the talking bears to find!

  Julia Wicker : OK, so how about a toast? Right? Bacchus would have wanted us to drink.

  Shoshana : I'd like so much, yeah.

  Julia Wicker : OK, so, to Bacchus.

  [Julia pours a shot on the ground, then drinks one herself] 

  Shoshana : To Bacchus.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : [sotto voce to Julia]  It kind of smells like pee sangria.

  Julia Wicker : [sotto voce back to Penny]  I don't give a shit, drink it.

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : To Bacchus!

  [drinks] 

• Julia Wicker : I was a goddess, and I gave away my power, and now I can't use magic, only I'm indestructible, so maybe you can help me understand what is going on?

  Shoshana : You were a goddess?

  Julia Wicker : [meekly]  Yeah?

  Shoshana : [exasperated]  If all those other maenads hadn't run through the poison wine like a bunch of bitches I wouldn't even be in this situation!

  Julia Wicker : Well, maybe if you help us then you can...

  Shoshana : [howling and wailing a magical incantation]  Woo! Eeee! Yaaa!

  Julia Wicker : I'm sorry, what are you - what are you doing?

  Shoshana : I'm trying to read your aura. Wah! Wah! Woo!

  Julia Wicker : Maybe we can just get the pine cone out of my face.

  [Shoshana licks the pine cone] 

  Julia Wicker : OK.

  Shoshana : That's what I thought. Inconclusive. I do know a ritual that could help diagnose you further. But it's pretty intimate.

  Julia Wicker : Umm... OK, I can live with that.

  Shoshana : Yeah, the only thing is I can't perform it.

  Julia Wicker : Um, why not?

  Shoshana : Well I don't believe in you. I can help interpret, but you need someone who believes in you. Who worships you, body and soul, to perform the ritual. Anyone come to mind?

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : Fine. I'll help.

• Julia Wicker : As requested, the water my feet were bathed in.

  Shoshana : You know, that's pretty murky.

  Julia Wicker : OK, judgy. What's it mean?

  Shoshana : It's too early to say.

  [Studies the water] 

  Shoshana : This is very interesting, though. I thought you said you didn't have any power.

  Julia Wicker : No, I don't, I can't do magic.

  Shoshana : Those aren't the same. Oof, this, this is real weird.

  [Flame erupts from the basin] 

  Shoshana : Aah! You weren't bullshitting me when you said you were a goddess, were you?

  Julia Wicker : No, but how - how can I be a goddess if I don't have any power?

  Shoshana : Maybe you think you don't, but I have never seen anything like this before!

  William 'Penny' Adiyodi : So we're good now? You're not gonna kill yourself?

  Shoshana : No, I can't now, I have a new deity to follow.

  [She drops to her knees and takes Julia's hand in worship] 

  Julia Wicker : Oh, boy.
