A five-leaf clover. Where did you find it?
Paul
Growing outside that lab. You know the odds of that kind of mutation happening naturally, without chemicals or radiation or something?
What?
Paul
There are none. I looked it up, it's like a billion to one. It never happens.
Maybe you're just very lucky.
This isn't funny. Do you know what this is like? It's like when you read about, I don't know, Anne Frank or something and you say to yourself, Jesus why didn't they do something. The whole world is collapsing. They just sat around, life as usual, myabe it'll go away, but it never goes away it only gets worse and nobody thinks about the future. What's the matter?
Paul
Who's Anne Frank?
Um, a girl in my English class.
If we get killed we won't have any future.
Paul
Of course we will. You always have a future.
What do you think you're doing?
Paul
Well I thought we'd start out with kissing, and then we might move onto the fancy stuff.
Paul, did you build an atomic bomb?
Paul
Only a little one.
Paul
Thanks.
Now what do you say we take it apart before everyone goes crazy?
Paul
No, I'm sorry. I can't do that right now.
This isn't accomplishing anything.
Paul
Sure it is.
What?
Paul
Deterrence.
Deterrence?
Paul
Yeah. You know, when each side thinks that they're going to blow everybody up. It's called mutually assured destruction.
Yeah, I know what it's called.
Paul
Well, it's working, isn't it?
How do you mean?
Paul
I'm still alive, aren't I?
