"They were dark days. And then...I met Grace. She was so beautiful, and I just felt drawn to her. I don't know what I would have done if she ignored me, but she never did. She was an extra on some television show. I don't even remember anymore. I asked her if she would go to LA with me because I had been offered a pilot. She drove across the country with me, and by the time we reached California, I knew I had to marry her. And so I did. No money, no real prospects, and I had to do some work I'm not very proud of to raise enough money to get us back to New York. I guess we were happy, then. But...when she told me she was pregnant, I knew I could never go back to that apartment. I couldn't do it, Simon."
"But by the time she was pregnant with Liza, you were opening a show on Broadway," Simon pointed out. "You weren't in danger of going back to that apartment."
"No, the fear came before the gig. That's when I...made my bargain."
"I still don't understand that. I mean, Doctor Faustus isn't real."
"I didn't call him to me, if that's what you're wondering. I didn't find any ancient spells or employ witchcraft or even pray to him. When Grace told me she was pregnant, I excused myself and I just...I broke down. I was so afraid. I had always wanted kids, but I couldn't stand the thought of my baby sharing a bedroom with rats. And then...I got a phone call."
"Lucifer contacted you over the phone?"
Alan shrugged. "That's not even the weirdest part of this story."
