Anything to find a way to cope

with a society I despise.

My ex-wife

is a natural b*tch.

I don't even know

why I married her.

Are you more interested

in the blood of Christ

than in His body?

I've lost all interest

in the flesh.

So much for what you've lost.

What have you gained?

Are you asking me

what are my beliefs?

Why did the Ashanti

refer to it as

"the beginning of death"

rather than "the end of life"?

I suppose they knew

something we didn't.

Is it terrible to drink blood?

It's less of a sacrilege

to drink blood than to spill it.

I hope my mood swings

do not affect

my employment with you

on this research project.

I'm going to sleep now,

Dr. Greene.

Have a good night.

Ugh!

Grant, O Lord,

that as we are baptized

into the death

of Thy blessed son,

our Savior Jesus Christ,

so by continually mortifying

our corrupt affections,

we may be buried with Him

and that through the grave

and gate of death,

we may pass to our

joyful resurrection,

for His merits,

who died and was buried

and rose again for us the same,

Thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

All right, Mr. Long.

Don't move.

I'll be right back.

- Hey.

- Hey!

How was your date last night?

It was really fine.

- Fire!

- Fire?

- There's a fire in there!

- Oh, my God!

Afire!

Hold on.

- Don't panic.

- All right, all right.

Don't...

That's more complicated,

and that's more personal.

I'm talking about using resources

that we can evolve in.

How are your drinks, ladies?

- Just fine, Dr. Greene.

- Oh, refreshing.

- Where's yours?

- Oh, I don't drink before 5:00.

That's what they all say.

Please help us

to settle an argument.

Ms. Blair here says

that change is impossible

because we're addicted

to our society,

especially the upper-middle class

because they've taken the damn thing

in such large doses,

we're all junkies

of one sort or another.

What decides

if one is a criminal or not

is which side of the law

your fix is on.

Really?

Ms. Blair,

that makes us all guilty.

On the contrary.

That makes us all innocent.

Well, if my social sins were to ever

bring me before a judge,

I would rather it were Ms. Blair.

Where's the progress

in discovering a crime

and then excusing it?

We might as well go back

to swinging in trees.

But Africa is the cradle

of civilization.

Touch.

Dr. Greene, you have the most

magnificent display of African art.

When did you start collecting?

Ms. Blair,

Africa is my passion.

Will you excuse me, ladies?

- Of course.

- Yes.

- I like him.

- I do, too.

Bucky Dent!

Bucky Dent!

Bucky f***ing Dent.

Bucky f***ing Dent.

Bill Buckner!

Bill Buckner!

We have no response

for that right now.
