Becman: (weak frail voice) Why dont you just…fail me?
Nasbane: You don't fear failure. You welcome it. Your punishment must be more severe.
Becman: Torture?
Nasbane: Yes, but not of your body. Of your soul.
Becman: Where am I?
Nasbane: Another71, Where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. Theres a reason why this exam is the worst hell on earth. Hope. Every man who has rotted here over the centuries looked up to the site and imagined clicking to freedom. So Easy. So Simple. And like shipwreck men turning to seawater from uncontrollabe thirst. Many have died trying. I've learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So as I terrorize the profession I will feed accountants hope to poison their souls. I will let them believe that soon they can view their score so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to get certified. You can watch me torture an entire profession and then when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill AICPA's destiny. We will destroy Accounting. And then when it is done, and Accountants are unemployed. Then you have my permission to fail.
