VERSION GUION ORIGINAL

PRIEST
"THE CRIME OF REBELLION IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. THAT IS THE USUAL SENTENCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE PURPLE SUNS ON THE PLANET ZEIST
I SENTENCE YOU TO EXILE FROM ZEIST. YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO THE PLANET EARTH. EACH OF YOU TO A DIFFERENT TIME AND PLACE. THERE TO BE REBORN. ONCE YOU HAVE GROWN TO THE AGE YOU ARE NOW, TIME ITSELF WILL TAKE ON A NEW MEANING FOR YOU. ONE YEAR ON EARTH IS LIKE ONE DAY ON OUR PLANET. SO ON EARTH YOU WILL BE IMMORTAL. FURTHERMORE, YOUR MEMORY OF THIS PLANET AND YOUR LIVES HERE WILL BE GONE. UNTIL THE TIME OF THE GATHERING 

FOR YEARS, WE HAVE SENT MEN TO EARTH, SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THEIR HISTORY. MEN LIKE YOU WHO HAD NO PLACE HERE ON ZEIST. THEY WILL FIND YOU. AND TRY TO KILL YOU. YOU WILL FIGHT EACH OTHER DOWN THROUGH THE CENTURIES. IN OUR TRADITIONAL WAY....WITH THIS (HE HOLDS UP A SWORD). 

THE ONLY RELEASE FROM YOUR EARTHLY IMMORTALITY WILL COME IF YOUR HEAD IS CUT OFF FROM YOUR BODY. AND WHEN ONE OF YOU IS FINALLY THE LAST OF US ON EARTH, HE WILL CLAIM THE PRIZE. HE WILL HAVE THE CHOICE OF GROWING OLD AND DYING ON EARTH, OR RETURNING TO ZEIST. 

AT THE END, THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE."
