A line from Kee

You know, when I started puking, I thought I catch the pest. But then my belly started getting big. Nobody ever told me these things. I never seen a pregnant woman before. But I knew. I felt like a freak. I didn't tell nobody. I thought about the Quietus thing. Supposed to be suave. Pretty music and all that. Then the baby kicked. I feel it. Little bastard was alive. And I feel it. And me, too. I am alive.

Everything is a mythical, cosmic battle between faith and chance.

[offers Miriam a joint]

Maybe I shouldn't.

You already did. Take another one. Now cough. What do you taste?

Strawberries!

Strawberries? That's what it's called: Strawberry Cough!

Kee

Wicked!

So. You've got faith over here, right? And chance over there.

Like yin and yang.

Sort of.

Or Shiva and Shakti.

Lennon and McCartney!

[looking at pictures]

Look, Julian and Theo.

Yeah, there you go! Julian and Theo met among a million protestors in a rally by chance. But they were there because of what they believed in in the first place, their faith. They wanted to change the world. And their faith kept them together. But by chance, Dylan was born.

This is him?

Yeah, that's him. He'd have been about your age. Magical child. Beautiful. Their faith put in praxis.

"Praxis"? What happened?

Chance. He was their sweet little dream. He had little hands, little legs, little feet. Little lungs. And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic. And then, by chance, he was gone. You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?

Kee

Baby's got Theo's eyes.

Yeah.

Oh, boy. That's terrible. But, you know, everything happens for a reason.

That, I don't know. But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan. He loved it here.

Kee, this is Theo.

Kee

What the **** you staring at?

Theo

Apparently the pleasure's all mine. Are we planning a sing-along? Good. I'm gonna take a nap.

Kee

You told me he was suave. Wanker's a drunk.

He's suave. You should have seen him in the old days when he was a real activist.

Theo

You were the activist, I just wanted to get laid.
