(At the Rock of Eternity, just outside Pontiac, Michigan)
GHOST OF BOBBY LAYNE: Cleave unto me, oh fellow Spectres of Lions Misery! For behold: one doth dare circumvent my curse of the franchise which forsook me by achieving success outside of Detroit.
MEGATRON: Unacceptable! All-time Lions greats must be remembered for their suffering, not their success.
BARRY SANDERS: They must retire suddenly and disappear for years from the public eye.
MEGATRON: They must hold lingering grudges against the organization.
LAYNE: Fools! I know the holy writ of Lions misery, for I am the one who writ it.
