Renaldo the Liar


SHAY: A liar, well...that sounds more like a demon's job...

RENALDO: Call it what you want...it has to be done.

SHAY: So what kind of things do you lie about?

RENALDO: What kind of things don't I lie about.

SHAY: The work never stops I guess...

RENALDO: Not in your world.

SHAY: Will it ever?

RENALDO: I hope not, then I'd be out of a job.

SHAY: So have you ever wanted to do anything else?

RENALDO: Of course! Who really wants to lie all the time.  It’s not like it’s fun or anything.

SHAY: So why not change jobs?

RENALDO: Do you really have to ask?

SHAY: Well...yeah...

RENALDO: I'm cursed, man.

SHAY: Oh, I see. So you'll be doing this forever...

RENALDO: Yep.

SHAY: Is there a way out?

RENALDO: Of course there is.

SHAY: So why not take it?

RENALDO: I can't.

SHAY: Why not?

RENALDO: I'm sure you'll find that out later in the book.

SHAY: How do you know?

RENALDO: I'm a mystical being, man, some things we're ALL privy to.

SHAY: Gotcha. Thanks for your time!
