I can't really remember when I last had any hope, and I certainly can't remember when anyone else did either. Because really, since women stopped being able to have babies, what's left to hope for?
Any girls?
Theo No.
What about the one we had lunch with? Lauren?
Theo Lorna. That was ages ago.
I liked her. What happened?
Theo She decided to renounce.
Renouncers? Are those the ones that kneel down for a month for salvation?
Theo No. They're the Repenters. The Renouncers flagellate themselves for the forgiveness of humanity.
Oh, right. Dating ain't what it used to be, is it, amigo?
So, Human Project is having this dinner and all the wisest men in the world are there...
Theo "Human Project." Why do people believe this crap? You know, even if these people existed with these facilities in secret locations... **** me, that's strong. Even if they discovered the cure for infertility, it doesn't matter. Too late. The world went to shit. You know what? It was too late before the infertility thing happened, for ****'s sake.
I was just trying to tell a joke, man.
Theo Oh, I'm sorry, go on.
No, I'm not tellin' it now!
Theo No, c'mon Jasper, go on!
No, **** it! I'm not tellin' it to you!
Theo C'mon, I'm sorry!
OK, the Human Project gives this great big dinner for all the scientists and sages in the world. They're tossing around theories about the ultimate mystery, why are women infertile? Why can't we make babies anymore? Some of them say it's genetic experiments, gamma rays, pollution. Same old, same old. Anyway, in the corner, this Englishman's sitting. He hasn't said a word. He's just tucking into his dinner. So they decide to ask him. They say, "Well, why do you think we can't make babies anymore?" And he looks up at them, and he's chewing on this great big wing, and he says, "I haven't the faintest idea," he said. "But this stork is quite tasty, isn't it?"
What did you do for your birthday?
Theo Nothing.
Oh come on, you must have done something.
Theo Nope. Woke up, felt like shit. Went to work, felt like shit.
That's called a hangover, Amigo.
Patric This never **** happened. Don't go telling tales, cause' we'll be watching you. At work. When you sleep. When you have a piss we'll be watching. All the **** time.
Theo Jeez, your breath stinks.
Patric No it doesn't.
Theo Yes it does.
Nigel That thing in Madrid was a real blow to art.
Theo Not to mention people.
Theo You kill me. A hundred years from now, there won't be one sad **** to look at any of this. What keeps you going?
Nigel You know what it is, Theo? I just don't think about it.
Kee, this is Theo.
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.
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.
