(Hoarse and Grating)
Who is that? Dham, is that you?
Dham.. come closer - closer... I must speak with you... yes... yes...(Hoarse and Grating)
No Dham that is one secret even the Nirvan cannot solve. Tell me..have you obeyed my orders...have all my wishes been carried out?
(Laughs Weakly) Yes, now I recall... This afternoon it was my three tricks... (Laughs)...my three great tricks which no other magician can duplicate... will ever duplicate...When I am gone there will never be another to equal me... The Great Nirvan...
No, when I die... there will never be another. You see, Dham... I willed my "fire and sword" trick to Arturo, and to Bennington I leave my Labyrinth of Sorcery" trick, but my greatest invention...my wall of glass and water:..... (Laughs into Coughing)It is the truth! (Coughs) I am dying...and I know it...but if you attempt my great "Glass and Water" trick... if you even attempt it... I shall return from the dead and curse you!
(Raging) Stop! Stop that laughing! (Trying to rise up in bed) Stop I say! STOP! (Laughter Stops) (Slowly) I curse you, Lorenz... I curse you... may your mind be seized by rot... and all your efforts crowned by black failures... may you die in mortal agony (Coughing fit seizes him)(He falls bacn on the Bed)
