I was born into a class that loves only what it owns... and we don't own quite enough of it anymore.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what is commonly known as money. It comes in all sizes, colours, and denominations - like people. We'll be using quite a bit of it in the next two hours... luckily I have enough for ALL of us.

I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant.

I was only trying to do what's expected me. I recall as a sign of normalcy in our circle to slaughter anything that moves.

 

I do? » Racer

You know, maybe you're wrong about this slaughter thing. How can you even be sure what incurs the Lord's wrath these days? Times change. I remember when eating meat on a Friday was supposed to be a Hell-worthy trespass.

 

Yes, you do » Poet

Anyone who isn't dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears right about now.

I have seen what happens to the proud when they take on the throne. I'm goin' back to Wisconsin.

"I do believe in this." What does that mean?

Someone from another world, so entirely different. Oh, one gets so tired of one's own class--princes and counts and dukes and kings! Everybody talking shop. Always trying to sell you jewelry. Then I heard your name and found out you were just one of us.

 

Good, because » gardenergirl

Worse. Wisconsin. For the entire span of human history.

I live in Wisconsin! Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!

It must be the most marvelous supper. We may not eat it, but it must be marvelous.

Wonderful... But tomorrow morning, if you should wake out of your dreams and hear a knock, and the door opens, and there, instead of a maid with a breakfast tray, stands a policeman with a warrant, then you'll be glad you are alone.

I have a confession to make to you: You like me. In fact, you're crazy about me.

They're not gonna blame me because the phone went dead. I'm not the phone company. Nobody's the phone company anymore!

This is not an occult science. This is not one of those crazy systems of divination and astrology. That stuff's hooey, and you've got to have a screw loose to go in for that sort of thing. Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store.

It's a Zen thing, like how many babies fit in a tire.

We consider ourselves bi-costal if you consider the Mississippi River one of the coasts.

What New York really is, is it's an island, with lots of people, lots of different people... I hope to maybe meet some guys, some Italian guys, and maybe watch some TV.

If there's an empty space, just fill it with a line, that's what I like to do. Even if it's from another show.

I don't make things difficult. That's the way they get, all by themselves.

Well, I'll tell you what. You make it through tomorrow without killing anybody, especially me, or yourself, then I'll start trusting you.
