 * Darla Dudley: [eldritch crackle, footsteps] Tawny! I got your message. What's so important? [silence: 5 seconds] Tawny?
 * Trigon: [loud footsteps, body dragged on floor, scoff] Your pet is taking a nap...
 * Darla Dudley: [gasp] Trigon?! [footsteps] You're gonna pay for that, mister! SHAZ-
 * Trigon: [whoosh, grapple, choked gasp, scoff] You are a bold mortal, I will concede that. [gasping breaths, loud footsteps] But for all that courage, you still have need to respire. [gasping breaths, chuckle] Are you willing to bargain for air? I will let you fill your lungs, but ask you to choose your words carefully. [gasping breaths] If I hear you cry out Manaragan's shout then I promise you the Speed of Mercury cannot outpace the swing of my sword... [gasping breaths] and the feline will pay the price of your foolery. [gasping breaths] Am I understood?
 * Darla Dudley: [wheeze]
 * Trigon: I trust that the fading look in your eyes is consent. [thud, loud gasp]
 * Darla Dudley: W-Why?
 * Trigon: You have something that belongs to me.
 * Darla Dudley: W-what? What could we possibly have of yours?
 * Trigon: My children... Where are they?
 * Darla Dudley: Who are your children?
 * Trigon: Do not think you can play your games with me, child! The Seven Deadlies!
 * Darla Dudley: ... Oh... I didn't realize they... Thy're right there!
 * Trigon: These are not my children! [angry growl, slash, stone debris tumbling] Those are nothing but empty simulacra! [panting breaths, silence: 2.7 seconds] Hold now... You did not know... I can see that in your eyes. You were fooledjust as I was. [scoff, chuckle] I see now that even in death, Mamaragan has his tricks.
 * Darla Dudley: I don't understand... bil- Captain Marvel told me he watched the Wizard contain them himself.
 * Trigon: Is that so? [loud footsteps, debris shifting, sniff, sniff] The enchantments on this stone are genuine. My children were here. Once, but no longer... [stone crumbling, dust pouring to floor] But why bother releasing them if one went to all that trouble of containing them to begin with?
 * Darla Dudley: Maybe they were rehabilitated?
 * Trigon: [scoff, chuckle] Foolish child! My children could not be 'cured'! No being could deny them of their power- It is their birthright. They could never be- Wait... [angry growl, loud footsteps] But they could be repurposed. That is what Manaragan has done! [angry growl, stomp, roar] He's transformed my children, hasn't he?!
 * Darla Dudley: I don't know what he's done... [footsteps] but I know what you've done.
 * Trigon: And what is that, child? What have I done?
 * Darla Dudley: Let me move between you and Tawny... [chuckle] SHAZAM! [eldritch lightning strike, growl, loud thud]
