Sage's Forgotten Othello Quote
After Kumiko hits Sister Sage with her power stealing blast, Sage tests its effects by trying to recite some Shakespeare. The Othello soliloquy that she can only get the first couple words of goes like this:
O! now, for ever
Farewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!
Farewell the plumed troop and the big wars
That make ambition virtue! O, farewell!
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
At this point in the play Othello mistakenly believes that his girl Desdemona has cheated on him, and he thinks that's made him lose all of his stature as a general.
It was cool to me that she fumbled on the word "content," when after the blast she'll have a life of contentment and Taco Bell. She'll actually get over getting hoodwinked by Godolkin, and she won't have the mental capacity to comprehend all of the bad shit that she did as Sister Sage. She might not even *remember* most of it.
I think Sister Sage did die in the finale. She took herself out of existence by being the guinea pig for Project Kumiko. She fixed Frenchie's calculations and put herself at the front of the line to de-supify herself back into being just Jessica Bradley.
And *Jessica* couldn't remember the famous last words that Sage had picked out for herself. Womp Womp.
