Lucifer protests he was never to blame for inducing anyone to sin, and that he's never had an interest in owning souls: 'They die, and they come here - having transgressed against what they believed to be right - and expect us to fulfill their desire for pain and retribution. I don't make them come here... I need no souls. And how can anyone own a soul? No, they belong to themselves. They just hate to have to face up to it.
