[0809] The Divine Comedy, Page 7

• Larisa: So, are you gonna go mow down those naughty angels with a machine gun, or something like that?
• The Devil: No, I’m not allowed to directly interact with God’s subordinates, let alone harm them.

• Larisa: What can you do, then?
• The Devil: I can do everything within my powers to prevent them from executing their godly plan.

• The Devil: I may never violate “The Rules”, though. In that case, God would be allowed to pass judgement on Sandra immediately and make her drop dead on the spot.
• Book cover: The Rules

• The Devil: On the other hand, if Sandra survived the day, she’d become an “untouchable” protégé of my sister Fortuna.

• Larisa: What’s up with all these rules?! I thought you were the Devil! The Devil doesn’t play by any rules!
• The Devil: We all have to play by the rules they have imposed on us.

• Larisa: Who’s “they”?
• The Devil: Upper management.
