"Christopher Lee is gone!" cried one fan.
"We lose Saruman, Count Dooku and Dracula!" screamed another fan, bawling.
"We're right here!" said Saruman, Count Dooku and Dracula.
"We died in our stories," said Saruman. He was clearly puzzled.
"Does my undead life mean nothing?" said Dracula, also puzzled.
"In the end, we are still villains and they are our fans," said Count Dooku, clearly peeved.
"Yes," said Saruman. He shouted at the confused, clearly distressed, fans, "We are not our actors!"
And still the fans did not pay attention to the three fuming villains.
In memory of Christopher Lee (1922 – 2015).
