Panel A
Alice responds to Lord Samhain's request.
ALICE: "Release Boogy."
SAMHAIN: "Are we negotiating your surrender? Are these your terms?"
ALICE: "The witch offered me a trade. The bag for the Boogie Man."
Panel B
Samhain looks at Baba Yaga, who lies in a gooey shambles on the floor, her head resting in Boogy's lap. Boogy is stroking her hair with some affection.
SAMHAIN: "Did she now?"
BABA YAGA: "Oops."
Panel C
Samhain returns his attentions to Alice. He spreads his hands in a gesture of acquiescence.
SAMHAIN: "Well then. Let us honor the deal, as Tradition tells us we must. You do remember the Traditions, don't you?"
Panel D
Samhain points his finger at Alice as he speaks. Alice bows her head.
SAMHAIN: "The ancient pacts, older than time. Older than you. Inscribed on your soul before you were born. The only law we recognize. You do remember, don't you?"
ALICE: "I remember."
Panel E
Samhain releases the chain from his hand, freeing Boogy.
SAMHAIN: "Then let us not be savages."
