[Shai smirks and takes a huge bite of the bloodied hunk in his hand, chewing with his mouth obscenely open.] Well. I don't pick my pets for their brains, Benji.
[Galiel makes a strangled, whimpering attempt to be comforting, and Shaitan throws his head back and laughs contemptuously.] Fuck, you two are pathetic, you know that?
Oh, shut up. Whiny little bitch. "Blah blah blah they killed my girlfriend, blah blah heroin, blah blah blah scars. Waaahh, I follow Daddy's rules, you can't have my soul, I'm so sorry I can't, waahhh waaaah."
[Shaitan sneers.] You could be a fucking god if you'd give in to what's in you instead of watering it down for the sake of some arbitrary notion of "goodness." All that Wrath going to fucking waste. All that strength and all that power untouched and useless. Fucking weak. Ass. Bitch. [And he punctuates each word with a kick.]
But I win, bitch. That's the takeaway point here. [He swallows the last of the bloodied hunk of meat in his hand and bares bloody teeth at Ben.] I'm the only power that fucking counts right here and now. I can do whatever the fuck I want to you and sweet little Galiel.
As long as I don't give in to you, you don't win. And you can't have my soul. Plenty of your brothers have tried. And failed. You're no scarier'n they are.
And you're gonna go right to Daddy and blah blah blah. [Shaitan smirks and rolls his shoulders in a slow, predatory motion.] You know, funny thing is, Galiel isn't. He's just gonna vanish. Forever.
Isn't that right, Gal? [And he saunters over, all infuriating smugness and sharp, bitter rage, and claps a hand to Galiel's shoulder, running it slowly down the angel's back while smirking at Ben.] Too bad. You shoulda kept better fuckin' company than this, Gal. Someone with the spine to at least try and save you.
[Ben bares fangs at him.] Leave him alone. Or let me outta these cuffs and face me.
Oh, wait, you can't do that. A skinny little girl kicked your ass. Dad only knows what a Hound of God would do.
Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. That's all you are. A noisome pestilence. You, too, shall pass.
[Shaitan hisses and holds up a hand which has gone all razor-sharp and taloned and elongated.] I think I changed my mind. I think I'm gonna kill him slowly. See how long your fucking cowboy speeches go.

Less, actually. Some of them had actual finesse.

You're mine to hurt and piss off and destroy. My plaything. Where your soul goes? Totally fuckin' inconsequential.

You can hurt me. You can destroy my body. My sanity.
But I'm not going to feed you. And I'm not going to play into your sick game.
