Did you really think you call up the devil and ask him to behave?

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker sarcastically challenges the notion that summoning something dangerous could ever be controlled or bargained with afterward. It questions the naivety of expecting a malevolent force to cooperate once invited in, framing that expectation as foolish rather than describing any real supernatural event.
