Albert, what brought you to the philosophical club?
You mean the existential detectives?
Sounds like a support group.
C Cricket
Why can't he use the church?
Sometimes people have additional questions to be answered.
Well, um, for instance - if the forms of this world die, which is more real: the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?
So Tommy, what do you do?
Congratulations, you're a hero.
I'm no hero. We'd all be heroes if we stopped using petroleum!
No, I'm not. I'm talking about not covering every square inch with houses and strip malls until you can't remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk.
B Bret
What happens in the meadow at dusk?
God gave us oil! He gave it to us! How can God's gift be bad?
I don't know. He gave you a brain too and you messed that up pretty damn good.
I want you sons of bitches out of my house now!
If Hitler were alive, he'd tell you not to think about oil.
*You're* the Hitler! We took a Sudanese refugee into our home!
You did. But how did Sudan happen, ma'am? Could it possibly be related to dictatorships that we support for some stupid reason?
You shut up! You get out!
[to Albert]
Come on. Let's get out of here.
Stevo, I'm so disappointed.
It's all right. Look, he's sad. He's sad.
I'm sorry Stevo. My bad. You didn't know.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
And why's that? Why whould I be ashamed of myself?
You're misleading these children. 'Cause you're the destroyer, man.
I saw that S.U.V. out there.
My car's the destroyer? You wanna know how many miles per gallon I get?
