Slacker (1991) Edit

A constant state of change, you know.

A dynamic that drives man to do things.

A free fuckin' weapons give away program.

A great wall of incense and spices.

A little late.

A lot of people like that found, uh, just wandering around lately.

A lot of times I leave a relationship and I feel like a whole person again.

A whole 'nother reality where I'm at the bus station...

All it does is frustrate man.

All right, Dad.

All right, look. I gotta go see this friend of mine, okay?

All right, see you.

All right, yeah.

All right!

All right. What did you get?

All that nature.

All the missing scientists around the world, and those that are mysteriously dying...

All the side loaders, clip loaders, shoot em backs...

All you're able to see is this base creature in them.

Alleviate suffering, make us enjoy it or something, you know.

Always happens.

And

And "Why the Eternal Flame" and all that stuff.

And all it is is bad water, bad food, you get sick.

And be able to see our way out of this.

And become coherent.

And being a photographer and all...

And big kind of slanted jagged kind of things.

And could it be that in this passivity...

And everybody's right together, everything flows real well.

And go to the Kmart and buy a Frisbee.

And he really thought that maybe I should, uh...

And he stole one of them.

And he was able to just see everything.

And he'll go, "Oh, duh." And they'll say, "Well, two Scooby Snacks."

And he's saying that Smurfs are, like, getting kids used to seeing blue people.

And how he was icing people at a pretty young age, but, uh...

And I believe that he's like, you know, living in Las Vegas or something.

And I could take some other people with me...

And I feel really elated.

And I start questioning everything, you know.

And I'll end up with her somehow.

And I'm fuckin' sittin' there. And I walk out of the room, I come back...

And if not, maybe I'll give you a call or something.

And in New Orleans and stuff...

And it symbolizes the bitch that's gonna fuck you over.

And it was as if we were being wafted into shore on a magic carpet.

And it's like, look at this magazine. Buy this magazine.

And it's like, you know, with Smurfs being blue...

And it's well afternoon.

And just goes on from there forever.

And Kennedy probably, but Leon...

And look at the Warren Commission, a Shriner convention without go carts.

And on the floor there's these postcards just sitting there.

And somewhere down the road apace it's gonna

And soon returns to the U.S. with a supply of homemade nuclear weapons."

And that was the same dog he took down to the city jail basement...

And that's taking up a lot of space this month.

And thatjust doesn't take into account the whole population of the country.

And the rest of us, what do they care?

And the sunlight's so oppressive now.

And then as we got toward Bombay, a wonderful thing happened.

And then they've got their little colony group together...

And then, check it out, the guy started firing on the freeway...

And they ate my crackers. They ate the Ding Dongs, believe it or not.

And they had six or seven pig cars chasing him into the south side of town.

And they think about going all those directions...

And they were just hopped up on amphetamines day in and day out.

And they're like all the way in 'em and shit.

And they're teaching kids fuckin' bribery.

And wants to take it out on every man ever born...

And way back when they're giving us that "One giant step for mankind" bit...

And we got these Cup o' Noodles, and in fuckin' 10 minutes...

And we wouldn't have to leave the house, and we wouldn't have to buy anything.

And when you get back, you can't tell whether it really happened to you...

And you because that relationship is naturally going to involve...

And you know, I was watching this Late, Late Show.

And you're denying that you took part in carving her up?

And you're probably giving someone else a ride, you know?

And, I don't know, I kind of agree with that.

And, I mean, he was telling me that it's gonna be a real winner.

And, like, we'll give you a Scooby Snack."

And, uh, it's about kidnapping people, using a little psycho surgery on them...

And, uh, the singer is still a jerk.

And, uh, turn them into zombies.

And, uh, wow, it's like the most horrible scene.

Another astronaut's in the background yelling his fool head off...

Another time I was a roadie for Frank Zappa. Anyway.

Any time any one of them tries to take off and do their own little individual trip...

Anyway, it's happening even as we speak.

Anyway, look, pal. It's been nice talking to you.

Are you enjoying yourself?

Are you making anybody's life hell right now?

As soon as his car came to a halt, man...

As we grow old, for women in general.

At least I'm not chained to this slave morality that seems to rule your life.

At least we ought to get that Masonic pyramid bullshit off the back.

At the White House they were visited all the time by this doctor...

Became separate realities.

Because he knew they weren't gonna okay his research.

Because, you know, we're kind of trapped in this one reality restriction type of thing.

Believe me, if you just come back into the office into the store...

Better yet, I got an idea.

Both of them, both of them. It's bad for both of you.

Bottles, brick bats, baseball bats...

But for mankind in its entirety.

But he can't be sure."

But he can't be sure."

But I can now say that I've practically given up on not only my own people...

But I think I'll just wait for your book to come out.

But I think the figure's a hell of a lot lower than that. You gotta consider.

But I want my camera back, all right?

But if you look real close, you can see it's still in there.

But it's like all these other futile causes that you fall into.

But it's like, it's sort of...

But look around, take whatever you want.

But my fucking wife, God rest her soul...

But now that I'm back, things are rolling for me.

But she's not gonna fuck 'em in this tent.

But the more the pain grows...

But those of us with the right kind of radios, you know what I mean?

But we need to capitalize on it...

But wejust We don't have that kind of stuff usually.

But, of course, then there's my book, you know.

But, uh, I got a stamp.

But, uh, just 'cause that thought crossed my mind...

But, uh, man, it was bizarre. It was like, uh...

But, you know, like maybe walking, or bummin' a ride or something like that.

By telling you that George Bush got this mandate with 54% of the vote.

By the church, the schools and the media right now.

By the way, they discovered that in the '40s.

Called the pigs in San Marcos.

Can I sell you a shirt? You know?

Change. I've got change.

Check it out, man. I really, honestly believe that this guy is still alive.

Check it out. I know it's kind of disgusting...

Christopher Maclaine, Richard Farina, Pierre Landais, Johnny Ace...

Come on in.

Come on, guys. We're wasting time.

Come on, let's go.

Cool.

Dad, here you go.

Dallas Morning News, man. You ought to read it for a change.

Dallas? Man.

Delia, two cups of coffee, please.

Did you find me any TVs?

Did you hear about him? He took his whole thesis committee hostage.

Do something like call it Conspiracy a Go Go.

Do you ever have those dreams that are just completely real?

Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions for a project we're working on?

Do you think maybe, uh...

Doesn't work.

Don't touch her. Need to call the police.

Dragging us kids all over creation.

Dude, you might wanna check again, 'cause that's my roommate's band.

Each individual has this absurd notion of this predisposition

End of interview.

Even if it has a negative result.

Every action is a positive action.

Every man that's walked on the moon, 33rd degree Mason.

Exactly. The slate of American history needs to be wiped clean.

Except instead of anything bizarre going on...

Excuse me. Hi.

Fell right in front of me and he had a knife right in his back...

For the past three decades.

Fractions off and becomes its own reality, you know...

From your authoritative sources.

Fuck you. I don't wanna read your book.

Geez, it's like that butterfly flapping it's wings in Galveston...

Geez, you are no fun, huh?

Get an ambulance.

Get as fat as he was and just make fun of himself all day long.

Go over there by those A.M.C.'s.

Goin' about a hundred miles an hour down the freeway...

Got a light?

Granted giving the man a quarter isn't gonna change his life around.

Great.

Great. Personal attacks now, is that it? I thought we were beyond that.

Hasn't been considered an asshole by the general populace.

He fuckin' laughed all the way.

He had had enough, enough.

He has this this unending potential, this dormant potential...

He just put the gun to his head and blammo.

He likes to sleep. Sometimes he has good dreams."

He says, " If he had smiled, why would he have smiled?

He shot one bullet up at the roof of his car...

He tells everybody he fought in the Lincoln Brigade...

He was an unknown Polish ÈmigrÈ who happened to be an anarchist...

He was in Oak Cliff to go to the Steak and Egg Kitchen...

He was still swingin' the gun around, man, and laughing.

He was, like, out of his mind. Everybody tried to get off the freeway.

He's like He disappeared. Nobody knows where he is.

He's perfectly healthy, but he's a complete amnesiac, you know.

He's real interested in this.

Here's those sockets you loaned me.

Hey, come on, man. This shit's getting heavy.

Hey, cool it down over here.

Hey, I gotta get a front left rotor for the Goat. You need anything?

Hey, I'll get a job...

Hey, I'll tell you what. Why don't one of you take it?

Hey, man, uh, you want a card?

Hey, we're gonna ramble on, you guys.

Hey, where you headed?

Hey, you got "Honor thy error as a hidden intention."

Hey, you got a cigarette?

Hey, you got a light?

Hey.

Hey. Hey, how did you get out?

Him and my mom went to Spain in, I guess, '55.

Hmm?

Hold on a sec. Dad?

How about the next show, two hours from now.

Huh. That's interesting.

Hurry. I'll stay. Hurry.

I been thinking about it. I don't want to throw it in.

I better cruise. I gotta check this guy Chico on the east side.

I can only address myself to singular human beings now.

I can't believe it, man. I told you I was having a breakthrough day today.

I could have a dream from that reality into this one...

I could sure use some.

I couldn't wait for the bastard to die.

I didn't do anything with the bookmark.

I didn't feel like messin' with those headers.

I don't know if you can see it now. I freaked out when it came in the mail.

I don't know that anyone can escape the fear of rejection.

I don't know what that's gonna be like, but I know that we're all part of it.

I don't know. I'm beginning to suspect maybe there's nothing really in there.

I don't know. It's like he split, man.

I fucked her in this tent.

I gotta go.

I graduated a couple of years back. Just pretty much hanging out.

I guess I kind of look at it as a trade off.

I hate shit like that.

I hate the police more than you, probably.

I have no reference to it now. I can't refer back to it.

I have some very serious work for them. Something very permanent about death.

I have this friend, all right, she's a gynecologist in Hollywood.

I just feel sorry for you.

I just need to get away for a little bit. I need some quiet.

I know her. She was in my ethics class. [Chuckling]

I know it's kind of cloudy, but it's a Madonna pap smear.

I know something that we could do together...

I like to destroy other people's artwork.

I love it. I hope it gets even worse."

I love to drive. Yo, lock it up, because all my really important stuff is in here.

I made him put me on the guest list, and I'm on the guest list.

I may live badly, but at least I don't have to work to do it.

I mean, " Let's never go out. Let's never venture out of this one square mile area."

I mean, and that reality thinks of itself as this

I mean, everything's in one big ball of fluctuating matter...

I mean, how many dreams do you have where you read in a dream?

I mean, I'm really glad you're happy.

I mean, it's a little bit getting closer to the rock god herself...

I mean, it's almost impossible to find someone out here...

I mean, it's like...

I mean, look at Italo Balbo...

I mean, man, that's, like, almost beyond my imagination.

I mean, really, we're in massive mainline ecological chaos.

I mean, they tell you to look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

I mean, they're so vivid, it's just like completely real.

I mean, to be conservative, the figure's more like 35%.

I mean, you're in a hurry. That makes perfect sense.

I might hang out outside. I might go in.

I really felt the need to get out of this town.

I really hope your friend is not, well

I really hope your friend isn't one of them already.

I said it's nice outside. We should go do something.

I see it. I'm gonna solve all these goddamn problems.

I should know. You should quit traumatizing women with sexual intercourse.

I should know. You should quit.

I smoke a lot of pot. Sometimes I trip out to acid.

I think I can honestly say I'm the happiest I've been in a long time.

I think I can, you know, get you in or something.

I think it's their potential I do see.

I thought he would never die.

I thought I could, you know, maybe swing a bargain.

I wanna see knife cuttin', slice cuttin' choppin' and blowin' up.

I was in the hospital for a while.

I was just traveling around...

I was telling you about my roommate's band earlier?

I was there in Catalonia.

I was thinking of calling it something like Profiles in Cowardice or something.

I was walking down the street and...

I wish I could stay and help, but I gotta go, really. But call me.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

I'd just ended this two year relationship with this guy.

I'll buy this round if you, uh, score me a pack of smokes, man.

I'll let you know when we get some.

I'll meet you there. See you.

I'll meet you there. You've been wanting to see it.

I'll probably go back next week and dance on his grave.

I'll tell you.

I'm a medical doctor.

I'm always glad to see any young person doing something.

I'm getting a lot of things done.

I'm just not sure what he was up to.

I'm just saying show me a woman that hates her dad...

I'm kind of broke right now. I should've done that probably.

I'm kind of working up a harmonious relationship with them, an equilibrium.

I'm pretty broke, though.

I'm real glad to be back though. But at the time I was leaving...

I'm saying if I'm gonna pay taxes on guns and weapons...

I'm sleeping a lot, you know.

I'm thinking about something new.

I've always dreamed of pulling a Guy Fawkes on the Texas Legislature.

I've been, uh, keeping up with my J.F.K. assassination theories, you know.

I've got maps in my room and I'll do it some day.

I've traveled.

If it's not through career, it's through a relationship or it's through kids.

If there were a hundred like him around today...

If you think you could get this out, I think it really should be shown.

If you're here to steal something, you've come to the wrong place.

If you're so eager and all fired up...

In a series originating in and repeated to infinity."

In Barcelona, in Spain.

In order not to create?

Intensity without mastery.

Iollygagging around.

Is that man is never free...

Is that you're in close proximity to all this.

Isn't that a killer job? Don't you think that's what all old people sort of do?

It all makes sense if you just read this passage here.

It all ties in. Yeah, greenhouse effect.

It buries every young truth with balls that comes along.

It doesn't matter. Just some other place.

It just doesn't seem to be the natural human state.

It symbolizes the bitch that fucked me over six months ago.

It takes two people to play Frisbee.

It thinks of itself as the only reality, you know.

It was an anthropology class in ethnographic film.

It was just a few degrees cooler.

It was May 22nd. That's a very important date for you to remember, pal.

It wasn't Oswald that did it. Of course you know it was Jack Ruby.

It will make a lot more sense if you read it.

It's a fuckin' book. Somebody else drive.

It's a material world and I'm a material girl.

It's a real primal thing, you know. Can it be escap

It's about as black as they come.

It's all a whole bunch of, like, horrible values.

It's been going on for over 30 years.

It's by this grad student over in the history department.

It's gonna be this totally new approach.

It's got "Ciccone" on the top. That's like a medical label. "Ciccone."

It's got everything moved out.

It's great. Rush toJudgment has all the testimony, you know...

It's like a high dollar item.

It's like about Krishna. You know, like Smurfs are blue.

It's like every choice or decision you make...

It's like I've had a total recalibration of my mind, you know.

It's like one of those government programs.

It's like one of those government programs.

It's like there's always someone getting run over or something really weird.

It's like you just pasted together these bits and pieces...

It's like you reject, you're being rejected constantly.

It's like you're just pulling these things from the shit you read.

It's like, I don't know...

It's not getting out.

It's not gonna take a certified genius to understand that we're in serious global confusion.

It's pretty good.

It's really not necessary.

It's taken my entire life...

It's the finale.

It's too hot outside anyway.

It's Uncle Fester.

Itjust seems like one day it's gonna dawn on everybody...

Just a guy? Yeah.

Just a second.

Just a while ago there was a guy out on the street.

Just be prepared. You can always be thrown on the scrap heap.

Just blow the damn thing sky high.

Just drop me off at this guy's house.

Just kind ofhangin'out? You remember...

Just let me out right over here.

Just the opposite of real anarchism.

Keep it under your hat. [Sighs]

Kind of make sure everything's okay.

Leaves your short term memory, so there you are.

Leaving the hive colony at all, you know.

Leon Czolgosz.

Let me have two, please.

Let's put Larry Feynman in the history books.

Let's put Squeaky Fromme on the one dollar bill.

Like everybody else there.

Like getting down to the real Madonna.

Like this old man about 40 or 50 years old...

Like, doin' fuckin' chicken squawks at people out the window...

Like, gosh, you know, they talked to Mrs. Erlene Roberts, you know...

Like, just 15, 20 minutes before he went before the grad committee.

Listen, uh...

Look, can I help you out? Do you need a ride anywhere or anything?

Look, every president but one, a Mason.

Look, man. This is stupid. I'm not gonna throw it in, man.

Look.

Looks like some guy, uh, ran over his mother.

Losers.

Ma'am.

Make sense? Sure it does.

Man, I am freaking out so severely. Did you hear what happened on the freeway?

Man, I don't even have my licence. I got warrants out.

Man, I just had the weirdest dream back on the bus there.

Man, there ain't no film in that shit.

Man. It was like The Omega Man. There was just nobody around.

Maybe 18% of the people in this country support him.

More like the Hemingway Brigade.

My half sister.

My life, my loves, what are they now?

Nazi Germany in 1932, the Nazis had maybe 34 38%.

Never done me any good.

Never mind.

New York, huh? Are you exhibiting there?

No one's going to call the police or anything.

No two cards are alike. Think about whatever you want and take a card.

No, didn't mill the heads.

No, I don't think so.

No, I mean. I have a dollar. I was wondering if I could get change for

No, I'm an anti artist.

No, I'm just gonna do some stuff.

No, I'm kidding. I don't do much really.

No, I'm really into photography, not movies.

No, what class?

No? All right. You guys' loss.

No.

Not me, I'm not drivin'.

Nothing much here.

Nothing to worry about, pal. Okay, you gotta go.

Now recite exactly what I told you to say and throw the tent in.

Oblique strategies.

Of all the witnesses who were never called before the Warren Commission.

Of course, that's kind of like that dream I just had on the bus, you know.

Of just the entire tragic sequence, you know.

Of the "propaganda by the deed" variety.

Offed himself, man. Blew himself away right there.

Oh, better than a sharp stick in the eye, I always say.

Oh, hey create a monsoon in China.

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who he is.

Oh, I got some band practice in about five hours...

Oh, it's just crazy. It's just crazy.

Oh, it's my PixelVision camera. It's for a project I'm putting together.

Oh, my cousin's here. Rachael from Greece.

Oh, never mind that. Everybody says...

Oh, no problem. We rotate the stock.

Oh, one more thing.

Oh, one of those neoposeur types that hangs out in coffee shops...

Oh, pretty good. I just located this wonderfulJ.F.K. memorial booklet.

Oh, shit.

Oh, sure, yeah. You can have as many as you want.

Oh, that's all right. Time doesn't exist.

Oh, that's rich. That's really rich.

Oh, they couldn't colonize everybody. No, no.

Oh, well. I don't really want to go into it at the moment.

Oh, well. In that case.

Oh, yeah, definitely. But, look, I gotta go.

Oh, yeah, well. I've been reading in the World Weekly News.

Oh, yeah, yeah. The dancing birth scenes. Those death rituals.

Oh, yeah? Well, where you from?

Oh, yeah. I know what I gotta show you guys.

Oh, yeah. I thought I heard that you were in "Timberlawn."

Oh, yeah. That might be all right.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

Oh, yeah. They're gonna get boosted off this rock before it melts.

Oh, you live here. Okay, sure. Well.

Okay, I'm gonna go in, and maybe I'll see you.

Okay, so the police have been notified.

Okay, uh, good. Well, let me know if you need me for anything.

Okay, you're either with us or against us.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I'm Dostoyevsky. You're Anna. We're writing The Gambler.

One of his grandparents died last month, but he can't remember which."

One of my employees saw you put something in the bag that you haven't paid for.

One of the true heroes of American history.

Or better yet, too afraid to even take power at all.

Or I'm living at some place I've never seen before.

Or you just saw it on TV.

Ordering. Ordering one, one.

Out with the old. In with the new.

Pass it around and we'll see what we come up with later on, okay?

Paul Yazimsky.

People out in rural areas. People who don't have addresses.

People were freaked. They didn't know if he was just a lunatic, you know...

Performance? That sounds like fun.

Perhaps human beings weren't made to be happy and free all the time.

Photographing and mimes playing tennis.

Probably thumbin' through a paper.

Profiles in Cowardice or Conspiracy a Go Go.

Psst.

Pull up in front of Oswald's house...

Quit following me. You heard me: Quit following me.

Randomly through his windows.

Rare Marquis de Sade, dude. Juliette. Rare Marquis de Sade.

Really.

Really.

Red ones Well, you know about the red ones.

Rejection. That's one thing I'm not scared of anymore.

Remember, like Saturday morning cartoons?

Same old, same old. Just...

Saturday night specials...

Say this beautiful woman just comes up to me, just starts talking to me, you know?

Say this beautiful woman just comes up to me, just starts talking to me, you know?

Say, pal! Did I overhear you say you got a friend that's missing?

Saying, " Oh, my God. What's that over in the crater? What the hell is that?"

See how easy that was?

See if you lick your wrist or something.

See you guys later.

See, he's gone. All his stuff's gone.

Seen Elvis lately? No.

She might be coming for a visit.

She's off to a good start.

She's probably gonna fuck a lot of other guys.

Shit.

Shit. No way. It is blowin' power valves though.

Shit. You should come to my house. The other day I went and bought groceries.

Shooee, howdy, shucks. Okay, well. Yeah, I heard that.

Shoot 'em up, kill 'em, bang, stab 'em, crush...

Shoot whatever you want.

Shooting from the hip and catching the glimpses of all the garbage.

Sitting there right in the middle. It's really bizarre.

Slice, kill, motherfuckin' boilin' oil.

So everything's all cold and fuckin' chewy and shit all the time.

So history buried 'em.

So I figured I'd mosey on out.

So the guy's gotta get up every day.

So they'll be looking for ordinary guys.

So they'll be looking for ordinary guys.

So this dream I just had, it was just like that...

So what are you up to?

So what? At least what is there is based on good sources.

So where you getting all these statistics from anyway?

So you put that 383 bore kit back in here, huh?

So, he tell you any war stories?

So, I'll tell you what they've already done.

So, uh, what is this...

So, uh.

So, what do you call yourself?

So, what, do you fancy yourself as some sort of artist, or what?

So, yeah, Friday night. Guest list?

Some kind of psychic TV type parallelism?

Something to the effect of...

Speaking of movies, you being from London...

Stepfather.

Stephanie?

Still unemployed.

Stock manifolds though, huh?

Sure, in the main headquarters, around the world...

Sure.

Sure. I'll be here.

Sure. No problem.

Suspect, you're beginning to suspect.

Take my dictation.

Tell you what, listen. I'm gonna stick around outside, just for a little while...

Texas is so full of these so called modern day libertarians...

Than an actual event.

Than just a poster.

Thank you for calling. Thank you.

Thank you very much. You know, everyone else just thinks you're an asshole.

Thank you. Good bye. Thank you.

Thanks.

That can think outside of their own caste system right now.

That condescending element, maybe even contempt.

That goes out in a blaze of glory?

That guy's got maybe 34 43% of the vote.

That he's just been fucked over by his wife.

That one endures."

That reminds me of an apprehension I saw in France in the early '40s.

That suffering is bad.

That the space program's just one giant big cover up.

That they came to call "Dr. Feel Good."

That this large nonvoting majority has been winning every election...

That would be global bankruptcy.

That's all part of the recruiting process.

That's because they could fuck and think at the same time.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. See, we're conditioned to assume...

That's got those wonderful articles like "How I Told the Children"...

That's our last one.

That's right, man. That's been my day entirely today.

That's the one thing that would be more effective on my own.

That's what they're teaching kids. It's like it's all bribery, you know.

That's when Mr. Evil comes down off the hill and stomps on them.

The address, man. Take me there. Drop me off.

The ants have chewed through the Styrofoam cup.

The first hurdle for the true warrior.

The hue was off and I couldn't adjust the hue.

The Lincoln Brigade.

The man who assassinated William McKinley.

The Masons are the ones that control history.

The more this instinct for life somehow asserts itself.

The necessary beauty in life is in giving yourself to it completely.

The obsessiveness of the utterly passive.

The only political assassination of a U.S. president.

The only things left are cans and jars.

The people they need, like scientists. You heard about that?

The premise for this whole book...

The Prince of the Puff of Smoke.

The reason we're up there covertly is because of the greenhouse effect.

The rest of them, I just kind of keep them going.

The Soho photographer trudging through the sludge ofTimes Square...

The statistics of the F.B.I. since 1980...

The thing most feared in secret...

The tragedy of life...

The typewriter isn't the point. The point is it symbolizes the bitch that just fucked him over.

The typewriter isn't the point. The point is it symbolizes the bitch that just fucked him over.

The underlying order is chaos, man.

The whole cycle type of thing.

The workers were really in the saddle then...

Then they end up going in that one direction.

There are not that many perverts around.

There now exists at this very second...

There was a breeze blowing out to sea.

There was a man.

There was such a thing as belief put into action in those days.

There was, like, three people involved in the carving.

There's a giant spacecraft over in the other crater, looking at them.

There's no guns involved.

There's nothing to take care of. I don't know what you're talking about.

There's writing on the back of them.

They all stem from a certain weakness.

They can follow instructions. Perfect employees.

They disappeared.

They don't give a damn about improving the world.

They had finally found some known criminal...

They just went on from there and lived the rest of their life.

They like me here, you know. 'Cause I'm in, like, tight, you know.

They must like children too, because...

They say 50.3% of the eligible population participated in the '88 election.

They're numbered. It's like a little story or something.

They're, uh, oblique strategies.

They've colonized outer space.

Things are speeding up here at the end.

This This will blow your gourd.

This band's gonna be great.

This guy came barrelling out of a bar...

This is a ruling class man...

This is also the book that's got the testimony of Sam Holland, you know...

This is her son.

This is it. Put the typewriter right there.

This is my spot. They keep this here for me all the time.

This town has always had it's share of crazies.

This was her tent.

Through some contacts of mine.

Throw it in.

Time to split. You gotta be somewhere.

To get out of the house today, why don't you do that?

To handle large sums of money being funneled into this project.

To parody yourself at the height of your ridiculousness.

To pay for a monopoly on guns by people to oppress us already.

To step back inside the store back into the office so we can look through the bag.

Toothpicks, toothpicks. Toothpick labeling.

Two for one special.

Uh, anyway, he made this tape.

Uh, Cue Club? We only got 20 minutes.

Uh, I'm in this band.

Undercover shit, yeah.

Wait. Man, there was this book I just read on the bus

Was that every thought you have creates its own reality, you know?

Waving a gun at people, laughing.

We can make it. There's gonna be five minutes of trailers. It'll be no problem.

We could go out there. We could go out to the hills.

We could go to the park and play Frisbee.

We eat an early dinner if you'd like to stay.

We finally got out of the terrific heat of the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean.

We had a class a couple of years ago, remember?

We missed the beginning. Hang it up. I'm gonna go look at some books.

We need to start all over again.

We stole it from the Nazis after the end of World War II. It's perfectly obvious.

We would have Superman or something absurd like that.

We're always trying to enslave ourselves one way or another.

We're gonna be left here to fry.

We're hitting it off. Go play a little pinball.

We're playing this Friday. If you wanna come, I can put you on the list.

We've been on Mars since '62.

We've been on the moon since the '50s.

When young, we mourn for one woman.

Where everybody hangs, you know, in their one little group...

Which you really should snap up if you can.

While we're out here with some serious social diseases and everything else.

You gotta deal with strange people.

You gotta throw the typewriter in. That's why we brought it here.
