I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. Nothing but a bunch of big ideas and stories and people dying, and then people like you. The white cracker who wrote the national anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word 'free' to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate. Nothing on Earth sounds less like freedom to me. You come to room 1013 over at the hospital, Louis, I'll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean. I live in America, Louis. I don't have to love it. You do that. Everybody’s gotta love somethin'.

Louis Ironson I'm not saying Kaddish for him. The drugs, okay, fine, sure. But no **** way am I praying for him. My New Deal pinko parents in Schenectady would never forgive me. They're already so disappointed. He's a ****, he's an office temp. Now look, he's praying for Roy Cohn.
Norman "Belize" Arriaga Look at that heavy sky out there.
Louis Ironson Purple.
Belize Purple? Boy, what kind of a homosexual are you anyway? That's not purple, Mary. That color up there is mauve.
Angel Greetings Prophet! The great work begins! The Messenger has arrived!
