Wants and Needs

HatchetHatchet, Promo

“I’m so fuckin’ tired of hearin’ how badly people need something.”

“I’m ganna tell you a story. See, when I was a kid in the slums there was a yearly lottery. Nothin’ huge, but it was a couple thousand credits. For someone in the slums? Shit, you may as well have given us a whole fuckin’ level.”

“Well, like everyone else, I bought a ticket. I asked some of the other scrubs in line what they’d do if they won. I was expectin’ drugs, neden, gambling. But nah.”

“These fuckers had needs.”

“A chef who just needs the cash for his failing kitchen.”

“A wife that needs the money for her husband.”

“A preacher that needed money for his little church.”

“I even found a kid who said he needed that shit to make his dad proud. Somethin’ about provin’ he could do somethin’ on his own.”

“Ya get the picture or am I gettin’ out the crayons? Every single other fucker with a ticket was lookin’ at the lottery as somethin’ they needed. It was the answer to their problems, the thing that would pull ’em outta the slums.”

“But I didn’t get it. See, because I didn’t need that god damn money. No, I fuckin’ wanted it.”

“So I fuckin’ took it.”

“I busted into the fuckin’ lock box and took every last god damn credit in front of their faces. Because to me, it ain’t a lottery. It’s opportunity.”

“Just like Invasion.”

“Sure, I got a ticket, but unlike the rest of the cunts in line, I ain’t here because the briefcase is something I need. I want it, and I ain’t gonna wait around for it to land in my hands.”

“While Destructo Bitch is tryna make daddy proud, while Klaus is hopin’ for power? I’m gonna be climbin’ that fuckin’ ladder.”

“Because Hatchet always takes what he wants.”

“Last week, I saw the chance for victory and I snatched it up. I saw the chance to put my competition in the fuckin’ dirt and split Zeke’s wig. There was absolute fuckin’ chaos and none of you stupid mother fuckers ever saw it coming.”

“Because you don’t want the case. You need it. You need it so god damn bad it makes you fuckin’ weak.”

“Just like with those cucks in the slums, I started the riot. I moved first, I swung first, and when the dust settled I was the one holdin’ the credits. I was the one holdin’ their dreams.”

“At Invasion I’m ganna do it all over again.”

“I want y’all to look up at me as I take it and know, this was never a lottery. It was an opportunity.”

“And I’m ganna fuckin’ take it.”

“I want to see the hope leave your eyes.”

“I want to the world champ to know he ain’t ever safe!”

“But most of all?”

“I want all of Arcadia to know. No matter who the fuck you are, no matter what you fuckin’ want.”

“Eventually, everybody gets downed by the Clown.”
