Volume 3 is about cauterizing the wound of Newman Xeno… What they’re doing at first is going around to the timelines that have been f*cked up by Casanova being stolen, and they discover that all the weirdness and confusing paradoxes and double-speak are damage; it’s not supposed to make sense. It’s what happens when someone is ripped through space-time – it causes this kind of hemorrhage… This is the reality of him paying the price for all the bullsh*t of Volume 1 and all of his swagger. He’s depressed and unhappy. To put it in [terms of] “Boogie Nights,” this is the part at Alfred Molina’s house. This is where all the chickens come home to roost, when Volume 3 starts. But that still eight months from now or ten months from now, so we’re a ways away.
