Cynthia God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?
Yeah I know, like it's all preparation.
Cynthia Right. But what are we preparing ourselves for?
Death.
Life of the party.
It's true.
Cynthia You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.
Cynthia Which one of you had the theory about how president Ford's old football head injuries is affecting the economy?
Did you know Ford was on the Warren Commission?
Who cares, he's outta there this fall. Look, we need some alcohol.
That's a thought.
I'm just sayin', if we're gonna go out, if we're gonna drive around, we should just do something.
Cynthia Yeah, you know, you're right, man. I'm just gonna, you know, get drunk, maybe get laid or start a fight...
I'm serious, man. We should be up for anything.
