00:20:25You're all just kitties to me.
00:20:27I think he has a problem.
00:20:29He doesn't have free weekends either.
00:20:38Thank you all for coming.
00:20:40But what kind of people show up at some shady lot they read about on a cog?
00:20:44Um, weirdos.
00:20:45My kind of people.
00:20:47The curious ones.
00:20:48The restless ones.
00:20:48The ones who are searching for something.
00:20:50Who might not even know what they're looking for.
00:20:53What does this mean?
00:20:54Excellent question.
00:20:55Tell me.
00:20:56What does it do?
00:20:57It turns?
00:20:58For what purpose?
00:21:00I don't know.
00:21:01Can you tell by looking at it?
00:21:02No.
00:21:03Why not?
00:21:04Because I don't know where it fits.
00:21:06Exactly.
00:21:07But you do know three things.
00:21:09It only fits in one place.
00:21:11It only does one thing.
00:21:12And if it wears out, it can be replaced by an identical one.
00:21:17Sound familiar?
00:21:18I don't know.
00:21:19It's over here.
00:21:20Ew.
00:21:20Gross.
00:21:22Never mind.
00:21:23What do you do?
00:21:24I deliver the mail.
00:21:26What does that involve?
00:21:28Putting letters in people's boxes.
00:21:30Anything else?
00:21:32That's all.
00:21:32If you were hit by a bus, what would the Postal Service do?
00:21:36Oh, they'd be sad.
00:21:38But what would they do?
00:21:42Hire a new guy.
00:21:43Exactly!
00:21:44We're all being trained to be interchangeable parts.
00:21:47We're all being molded to fit into this bigger system.
00:21:51Some people think they have control.
00:21:53Some people think they pull the strings and turn the screws, but ultimately they're just
00:21:56larger interchangeable parts in larger machines.
00:22:01What do you want us to do?
00:22:02We need to raise people's awareness.
00:22:03We need to show them where they fit in the bigger picture.
00:22:06Some people might not like what they see.
00:22:08We can cause a ground swell.
00:22:10And the truth?
00:22:11The truth will set us free.
00:22:14Hey, who's sponsoring this?
00:22:27The Corporate Military Industrial Complex.
00:22:29Do you have decaf?
00:22:31Why would we offer that?
00:22:32Why not?
00:22:33The whole point is to drug you into staying wide awake so you work really hard.
00:22:37I'm going to pass.
00:22:40Slave juice?
00:22:41Anyone?
00:22:42That's cute.
00:22:43Thanks.
00:22:44Do you mind if I ask?
00:22:57How much did it cost?
00:22:59Mmm.
00:23:00$20.
00:23:01Great price.
00:23:02I don't know.
00:23:03It only costs 68 cents to make.
00:23:06How?
00:23:07They have eight year old Cambodians working 15 hour days for five bucks a week and their
00:23:11hands are so small and skillful.
00:23:14That's awful.
00:23:15Isn't it?
00:23:16Here.
00:23:17You can have it.
00:23:18Thanks.
00:23:19Um, can I have my wallet?
00:23:19I don't know.
00:23:20You can have it.
00:23:21Thanks.
00:23:22Can I have my wallet?
00:23:26Can I have my wallet?
00:23:56Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:24:25What are you thinking?
00:24:26Some very subversive thoughts.
00:24:28Like stupid ones?
00:24:29Yeah, kind of.
00:24:31Count me in!
00:24:37So, what's new?
00:24:40Not much, Bobby. It's only been a few days since the last time you got picked up.
00:24:44Oops.
00:24:45What's going through your head?
00:24:47I don't know. Sugar plums?
00:24:49So, you're hearing voices?
00:24:51Oh, yeah. I do whatever my Rice Krispies tell me to do.
00:24:54You do?
00:24:55No. What are you, crazy?
00:24:57So, tell me about your friend.
00:24:59Well, I know this cool bird named April. I hear she likes to collect Civil War memorabilia.
00:25:04Is Tuffy in the room with us?
00:25:06Do you see him?
00:25:08Where is he?
00:25:09I don't know. He's probably off chasing squirrels or schoolgirls or something.
00:25:14Bobby, you're mentally ill.
00:25:19What exactly does that mean?
00:25:21It means you need help.
00:25:23Need is a very subjective word.
00:25:25I want to help you.
00:25:27Knock yourself out.
00:25:29I love you, Mrs. Duck. You're everything to me.
00:25:40This is your home?
00:25:42Excuse me!
00:25:43Shh!
00:25:44Well, this is actually my summer home. My main estate is down the block behind the Piggly Wiggly.
00:25:50You can't live here.
00:25:53What are you talking about? This is the most luxurious alley in town. It even had a spread in Allitectural Digest.
00:26:00Bobby.
00:26:01April?
00:26:02You can crash at my place until you get back on your feet.
00:26:05No, thanks. I like my chateau.
00:26:08You let me stay at your house when my dad lost his, so I would be happy to return the favor.
00:26:13Well, if it makes you happy.
00:26:20Hey! What am I, chopped liver?
00:26:29I'm sure you'll get a new house soon.
00:26:31I hear great things about Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
00:26:34And Chaz was all wrong for you.
00:26:36I mean, you need a much nicer guy.
00:26:38And you can get a new cat at the shelter.
00:26:43Not that it'll ever completely replace Pookie.
00:26:46Mono's not that bad, as long as you drink lots of water.
00:26:49I'll shut up now.
00:26:59Hiya, Seymour.
00:27:01Good afternoon.
00:27:03The toes look great. They're practically glowing.
00:27:06Thanks.
00:27:08To what do I owe this pleasure?
00:27:10Bobby needs to crash on our couch.
00:27:12I see.
00:27:13You'll hardly notice me.
00:27:15My God, put some clothes on.
00:27:17Well, I barely had a chance before you left me high and dry.
00:27:20Dry?
00:27:22You're dripping all over the place.
00:27:23At least go towel off or something.
00:27:26Fine.
00:27:27Fascist!
00:27:29Sorry, it's like he was born in a barn.
00:27:31I think April would be better able to counsel you if you weren't living in the same home.
00:27:35You know, a therapist needs to keep her distance from her patients.
00:27:39So she can see things more objectively.
00:27:42You're probably right.
00:27:46It's about time we rambled on.
00:27:51Wait for me, you fickle pickle.
00:27:53I should have just stayed in the tub.
00:27:56Bobby needs my help.
00:27:57So help, but he doesn't need to sprawl out on our sofa while we're working for a living.
00:28:02You're like a little girl taking in strays.
00:28:06The guy had so much potential.
00:28:08Doesn't this Florence Nightingale thing get a little old?
00:28:11You know, we could be living in a much larger home if you would just join me in the private sector.
00:28:17So I can get overpaid to hear self-indulgent rich people whine about their broken fingernails?
00:28:21Some of them have real problems.
00:28:30Hey guys, it really warms my heart to see you all here.
00:28:32Let's get down to business.
00:28:34What are those?
00:28:39It's not a trick question.
00:28:41Oink, oink!
00:28:42They're cops.
00:28:43Yes.
00:28:44You're right.
00:28:45They are cops.
00:28:46But on a deeper level?
00:28:47Men?
00:28:48Yes.
00:28:49Cops are men and women.
00:28:50But these are just cartoons.
00:28:52They still trigger a meaning in our minds.
00:28:57What do you see?
00:28:59Politicians?
00:29:01Okay.
00:29:04What are these?
00:29:05Logos!
00:29:06Yes.
00:29:09What's this?
00:29:10Money.
00:29:11I could use some of that.
00:29:12Why?
00:29:13Uh, people seem willing to give me stuff for it.
00:29:16You can give people little green sheets of paper and they give you actual goods and services?
00:29:22You know money used to be backed by precious metals?
00:29:26Now it's backed by nothing.
00:29:28It has no intrinsic value, only the value people think it has.
00:29:32Currency is a mass hallucination.
00:29:35What is the money and the logos and the politicians and the cops all have in common?
00:29:39They're just symbols.
00:29:42But they hold power over us.
00:29:44You know, when a cop pulls you over, you have to listen to him.
00:29:47Why?
00:29:48Because he has a badge.
00:29:49He's an authority symbol.
00:29:51When you go to buy a car, a different logo on the hood jacks up the price thousands of dollars.
00:29:57Why?
00:29:58Because it's a status symbol.
00:30:00All these logos and brand names trigger perceptions in our mind of a product's value when in truth we can get a better impression just by looking at it or touching it.
00:30:10These symbols are obscuring our perception of reality.
00:30:14So what do you want us to do?
00:30:17We need to stop taking the symbols at face value.
00:30:20We need to be conscious of how they play on our emotions, how they tell us what we want to hear even if it's just nonsense.
00:30:25How they con us into swallowing mountains of institutional lies.
00:30:30That's the only way we can break free from this mental slavery.
00:30:33That was remarkably coherent.
00:30:40Not bad for a total crackpot, eh?
00:30:42You're not a total crackpot.
00:30:44More like a chipped pot.
00:30:48Want to hit the tennis courts?
00:30:50No.
00:30:51Oh.
00:31:00Meow.
00:31:02Bet I can swing higher than you.
00:31:05Come here often?
00:31:07Not all the time, but I like to once in a while.
00:31:11Reminds me of a time I felt...
00:31:13prepared for.
00:31:14See what it's like not being an old square, living in Squaresville, eating, uh, square cakes?
00:31:24Yeah, it's great.
00:31:26As long as it's real.
00:31:28You know, you don't want to go around making up little friends.
00:31:32Who's making anything up?
00:31:34I don't get it, April. You want me to be alone?
00:31:37You're already alone.
00:31:39You can't know that.
00:31:40Maybe I see something you can't see.
00:31:42People can be pretty lousy.
00:31:44And everybody's disappointed in me at least once.
00:31:47Not Tuffy.
00:31:49I disappointed you?
00:31:51No.
00:31:53You said everybody has.
00:31:55Everybody else.
00:32:05Look who decided to sashay in.
00:32:08Are you drunk?
00:32:10You missed my alumni mixer.
00:32:11I'm really sorry I got caught up with work.
00:32:14You should mix more.
00:32:16I'm kind of all mixed up.
00:32:18Anyway, I've had enough glad-handing for a while.
00:32:22But what about me?
00:32:24How can I project power and success without my little trophy?
00:32:29By being powerful and successful?
00:32:31But I am!
00:32:33Yes, you are, darling.
00:32:40Thanks.
00:32:42Did I titillate you?
00:32:44Oh, yes.
00:32:46Let us go upstairs and do as the bunnies do.
00:32:50Hop.
00:32:52Bone.
00:32:53The more I'm tired.
00:32:56You're never frisky anymore.
00:32:59I suppose not.
00:33:03Where were you today?
00:33:05Bobby was showing me where he hangs out.
00:33:08Were you two ever lovers?
00:33:10No, just pals.
00:33:12I don't trust him.
00:33:13He's a mentally ill homeless guy.
00:33:15What are you afraid of?
00:33:17Hmm?
00:33:18Hmm-hmm.
00:33:20Hmm-mm.
00:33:24Damn, it's good to see you all.
00:33:26How y'all doing?
00:33:28I'm content like the trees in the forest.
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:32So, I've been trying to put my finger on what bothers me about people.
00:33:36They turn smelly when they don't bathe.
00:33:38When you think through human history, what has caused the greatest suffering?
00:33:43Uh, the atom bomb.
00:33:45Sure, that's a horrendous machine.
00:33:47But I'm talking about something that isn't just responsible for countless deaths,
00:33:51but also for keeping people suppressed in life.
00:33:54For keeping people ignorant.
00:33:56For making them ignore their own best interests.
00:33:58But, the greatest source of suffering can also be the greatest source of happiness.
00:34:03The most dangerous weapon can also be the greatest cure.
00:34:06What are you talking about?
00:34:08You need to lay off the peyote.
00:34:12Faith is a double-edged sword.
00:34:15It can bring us all together, or it can tear us all apart.
00:34:19You see, there's good faith and there's bad faith.
00:34:21But how do you know the difference?
00:34:23Here's the way I see it.
00:34:25If you're going to invest your faith in a person, or a religion, or a government,
00:34:28you can't just do it because your friends are doing it, or because you were born into it.
00:34:31You have to do it because it actually makes sense.
00:34:33Institutions should have to earn your faith.
00:34:36And they should constantly strive to keep it.
00:34:38That's the only way to keep them from going bad.
00:34:40The real enemy is blind faith.
00:34:43When people turn off their brains and arbitrarily just decide,
00:34:47my religion is the only true path.
00:34:50My government is the only just regime.
00:34:53My particular skewed worldview is the objective truth.
00:34:56That's when we let ourselves get controlled.
00:34:59That's when we become pawns in other people's wars.
00:35:03That's when we get at each other's throats.
00:35:05And we're not sure what is going on in the Split of the Mystery of the Crypt.
00:35:08We're not sure what is going on in the controvert.
00:35:10We're not sure what is going on here.
00:35:11Oh, wow.
00:35:12We're getting this deep stuff here.
00:35:14Hi, I'm Tess Whitman from KMBS.
00:35:18I'm doing a story about you.
00:35:20Huh?
00:35:21Huh?
00:35:23Is your movement a cult?
00:35:26No, I mean cults tell people to follow their specific beliefs that I'm not telling people to listen to me
00:35:33I don't want them to listen to anyone. I want them to listen to themselves
00:35:37So you want people to ignore a society's rules?
00:35:40Not necessarily. I just I just don't want them to blindly follow them either
00:35:45Hi, I'm the man behind the man behind the man
00:35:48You know what I mean? So kind of pay attention to what I'm saying. Yeah, okay
00:35:54It seems a movement or as some may claim a cult is gaining influence across the Southland
00:36:00They don't have a name, but apparently they rally behind this symbol
00:36:06Theories about these brightly colored gears vary. This is me. This dick is my boo-boo
00:36:16That's so deep
00:36:18This is a gift from above
00:36:20It helps us in our daily lives
00:36:32You've got it all wrong
00:36:35These cogs represent us
00:36:37We're all just so much of interchangeable parts. We're all stuck in the big machine. I mean if we were out they just
00:36:45replace
00:36:47Get your own lousy mail you guilty rich bastards
00:36:59Bobby changed my life
00:37:01I mean not much has changed on the surface, but
00:37:05My mind used to have all these limitations that now I see past
00:37:09Now I'm free
00:37:11Listen I didn't realize I started a movement
00:37:15I I just see things a certain way and I wanted to voice my opinion
00:37:18I used to believe you know in the higher society, but but now I know it's just all a game
00:37:24There's this system of of rewards and punishments in place to mold us and sometimes
00:37:30I just feel like a dog in obedience school
00:37:34Jumping through hoops trying to get a pat on the head
00:37:37You know they they tell us to get good jobs and follow the rules, but we get distracted and we lose sight of what's really going on
00:37:45How did you guys find me here?
00:37:49What's up sunshine? I checked you on the news last night and I thought to myself your cause is one I could really fight for
00:38:01I'm gonna donate some of my daddy's office space for your coat. Are you real?
00:38:03Maybe I am crazy
00:38:09What's up sunshine? I checked you on the news last night and I thought to myself your cause is one I could really fight for
00:38:15I'm gonna donate some of my daddy's office space for your coat. Are you real?
00:38:19Are you real?
00:38:21Maybe I am crazy
00:38:23how you feel about your eyes?
00:38:25You know my lady's office space?
00:38:27How you feel about your eyes?
00:38:37Hello
00:38:39Uh, sure we take donations
00:38:41We finally made it
00:38:45We finally made it.
00:38:57Night, Bobby.
00:38:59Night, little buddy.
00:39:05So what happened to your parents?
00:39:07They moved to Florida. I call them every month.
00:39:09Do they know you're homeless?
00:39:11I'm not homeless. The whole world is my home.
00:39:15So when did you start to feel alienated?
00:39:17When they beamed me up to the mothership.
00:39:20Don't be glib.
00:39:21It's who I am. When did you start to feel alienated?
00:39:24I don't.
00:39:26When did you start to live in denial?
00:39:28I thought I was the therapist.
00:39:30People have all sorts of crazy thoughts.
00:39:33Fine. If it'll get you to open up, I'll share too.
00:39:38Sometimes I feel a little awkward around Seymour's friends.
00:39:43It's like this old boys club.
00:39:47Like a gaggle of Seymour's.
00:39:50Yeah, pretty much.
00:39:51What exactly do you see in him?
00:39:53I'm losing track.
00:39:58Here. These'll stop your hallucinations.
00:40:01What hallucinations?
00:40:03If Tuffy is really there, they won't do anything.
00:40:08If he's all in your head, he'll disappear.
00:40:12Okay, but I might as well be popping jelly beans.
00:40:14I mean, he's a stubborn little sucker.
00:40:16I don't think he's going anywhere.
00:40:19Man, are you on crack?
00:40:20Let's go back to our digs.
00:40:22I can't sleep there. It's too clean.
00:40:24You're right. We belong here in the dirt.
00:40:26Man comes from the earth and then he returns to it.
00:40:31Hey, what you got there, Dr. Feelgood?
00:40:34Some happy pills?
00:40:35We gonna get retarded?
00:40:37Hand it over, Bobby. Spread the fun around.
00:40:39April gave them to me.
00:40:41When's that chicky gonna learn to share with all her babies?
00:40:44They're supposed to stop my hallucinations.
00:40:46Ha! That Fruit Loop still thinks you're loopy.
00:40:49Give me one of those pills. Maybe it'll make you disappear.
00:40:52No! Give me these! No! Give me them!
00:40:57Oh, damn! Teals, Bobby.
00:41:03Why aren't you vanishing?
00:41:07Okay, say I was just a figment.
00:41:09Do you really want to get rid of me?
00:41:11It's just that April says I can't live in the real world
00:41:14if I'm stuck in my own fantasy.
00:41:16So that's what this is about.
00:41:18You want to get rid of me so you can get with that vixen.
00:41:20No, it's not like that at all.
00:41:21I'm real.
00:41:23Go ahead and take your drugs.
00:41:24I'm not going anywhere.
00:41:25I don't want to.
00:41:27You, sis.
00:41:36Not such an easy pill to swallow, eh?
00:41:40Might as well let it drop. It's not coming up.
00:41:42See? I keep it real.
00:41:52Tuffy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to doubt you.
00:41:54Eh, it's alright. You hit the sack. I'm going to hit the can.
00:42:00Alright, there's no need to get all gay-bo about this.
00:42:03What time is it?
00:42:15Tuffy?
00:42:17Tuffy, did you go to the Rocky Horror Show again?
00:42:24Tuffy?
00:42:25Tuffy?
00:42:26Tuffy?
00:42:27Tuffy?
00:42:28Tuffy?
00:42:29Tuffy?
00:42:30Tuffy?
00:42:31Tuffy?
00:42:32What did you make me do?
00:42:34What?
00:42:35He's gone.
00:42:36Oh, he was never really there to begin with.
00:42:50My only true friend is gone.
00:42:53Bobby, you used to scare people.
00:42:57Now that you're not hallucinating, maybe you can start to make friends with real human beings.
00:43:01People are a bunch of jerks.
00:43:04I want my best friend back.
00:43:06Bobby, you gotta give this a fair try.
00:43:09Take your medication and see how it goes.
00:43:12If mental health means feeling this emptiness, I'd rather just be a total crackpot.
00:43:19I'm sorry, Bobby. Maybe this was too soon.
00:43:22You can stop taking your pills whenever you want.
00:43:24Will he come back?
00:43:27He probably will.
00:43:31I'm your true friend also.
00:43:34Yeah.
00:43:36It'll be okay.
00:43:40Yeah.
00:43:46I better go back to work.
00:43:47Okay.
00:43:54So I used some of the donation money to bake cookies.
00:43:56Mmm.
00:43:57You're using our funds for sweets?
00:44:00Aren't they neat?
00:44:02Mmm.
00:44:03Sugary.
00:44:04We should be stockpiling assault rifles.
00:44:07I know this great psychiatrist.
00:44:09She's a good friend of mine.
00:44:10How are we gonna violently overthrow the system with cookies?
00:44:13The system's too strong to violently overthrow.
00:44:16And it's made of people like you and me.
00:44:18I think En Vogue put it best.
00:44:19Free your mind and the rest will follow.
00:44:22Now free their minds and the oppressive structure will collapse on its own.
00:44:26Stop touching me!
00:44:28Sorry.
00:44:30That was really weird.
00:44:34So I got a surprise for y'all.
00:44:44A piece of paper?
00:44:45This is a blank slate.
00:44:47If we're to last, we're gonna need a constitution.
00:44:50It's our chance to document our ideals and pass them on for generations.
00:44:53So everybody think of your highest values and at the next meeting we'll discuss them and draft our Declaration of Independence.
00:45:02The kids are so difficult.
00:45:05I don't think they respect me.
00:45:08My youngest flat out hates me ever since I suggested she get her nose done.
00:45:12Perhaps she feels you disapprove of her.
00:45:15Of course I disapprove of her.
00:45:17Have you seen that schnoz?
00:45:19She got it from her father.
00:45:21Tell her she's beautiful.
00:45:23I'm not gonna lie to her.
00:45:25Maybe a little white lie is in order.
00:45:27It's like Bobby says.
00:45:29Every lie you tell obscures a person's view of reality.
00:45:33Bobby?
00:45:35You know, the guy with the cogs.
00:45:37Welcome to the Department of Homeland Security Helpline.

00:45:55Welcome to the Lunatic Cult Info Line.
00:45:59Here, Tuffy, Tuffy, Tuffy.
00:46:01Where are you hiding?
00:46:04Come on, rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
00:46:07We've got a live one.
00:46:12Hey guys, welcome to my flop house. Let me get the refreshments.
00:46:16Why are you so alarmed?
00:46:18I don't know, you look a little shady.
00:46:21We're your friends.
00:46:23Imagine Rich, Spones, or with the Department of Homeland Security.
00:46:27We've had our eye on you for a while.
00:46:29Now concerned citizens are starting to tip us off about various questionable activities.
00:46:35Was I supposed to get a permit for that bake sale?
00:46:39Enough of this charade.
00:46:41Are you or are you not trying to overthrow the Postal Service of the United States of America?
00:46:47The Postal Service?
00:46:49Is this man your brainwashed puppet?
00:46:50Oh no, that guy's got a mind of his own.
00:46:54Where is he?
00:46:55I don't know.
00:46:57I'd like to observe you for a few days.
00:47:00I'm a little shy.
00:47:10Damn it, Bones! I was supposed to zap him.
00:47:12You snooze, you lose.
00:47:20I'm a little hippo, frolicking in the jungle, eating all the mangoes, and pooping on your toes.
00:47:45Are you the messiah?
00:47:47Can't say that I am.
00:47:50Are you the gatekeeper?
00:47:53No.
00:47:57No thanks, I just ate-
00:48:00What is this, banana?
00:48:02It tastes like pesticide.
00:48:04It gives you special powers.
00:48:06The power to barf on myself?
00:48:08Oh god.
00:48:13Can I have my limbs back?
00:48:15I promise I won't use them for evil.
00:48:20Where are we?
00:48:21I don't know.
00:48:23Revolution does not come without sacrifice.
00:48:27After all, you have to spill a little blood to make an omelet.
00:48:31Where's Bobby?
00:48:33I don't know.
00:48:34Hugging trees?
00:48:35Picking flowers?
00:48:36Now.
00:48:37Joseph Stalin says that-
00:48:40Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:48:47Okay, okay, watch the cashmere.
00:48:50Now!
00:48:51I wish I had my thumbs to twiddle.
00:48:56Sometimes boogers taste like spittle!
00:49:01What's your name again?
00:49:03My very eager mother just served his nine pizzas.
00:49:07Huh?
00:49:08Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.
00:49:15Oh.
00:49:16I see.
00:49:19This cat is clowning!
00:49:22Tuffy!
00:49:28Gimme five!
00:49:30How'd you get here?
00:49:32I don't know.
00:49:33But the walls sure are nice.
00:49:36We need to get out of here.
00:49:37No way I hear the pudding is fantastic!
00:49:40I hear they do shock therapy.
00:49:42Cool, we'll ride the lightning.
00:49:44And end up like him?
00:49:47We need to get out of here.
00:49:49Who are you talking to?
00:49:52You crazy?
00:49:55This is pretty good. What is it?
00:49:57Seared dolphin.
00:50:02More for me?
00:50:03Eat your taters or they'll eat you later.
00:50:13Has Bobby popped by lately?
00:50:15What's with you and this kid?
00:50:17He disappeared. I'm just hoping he hasn't gotten into more trouble.
00:50:21That's what he does best.
00:50:22You were sensitive when I first met you.
00:50:25Oh, I'm sensitive now. Sensitive to your treachery.
00:50:28Don't you deal with enough paranoia at work? Do you have to bring it home with you?
00:50:32A little paranoia is healthy. It helps keep the serpents out of the garden.
00:50:37What did you do?
00:50:38He's a danger to society. He's a danger to himself.
00:50:43You know, it's like you're the center of your own universe and the rest of us are just your accessories.
00:50:50Then you should be happy to be so close to the sun.
00:50:53Oh.
00:50:55You are not the man I fell in love with.
00:51:01Walk out that door and you will not be allowed back in my garden ever again.
00:51:05Silly girl.
00:51:11That was 500 bucks, you little tart.
00:51:21Listen, Mac. You can't lose your nerve, okay?
00:51:24Will you send me jelly beans?
00:51:26Sure. I'll send you a crate this... this big.
00:51:30What color?
00:51:32All the colors.
00:51:33I want yellow and mauve.
00:51:34What's mauve?
00:51:36It's like a light burgundy.
00:51:38Okay? Yellow and mauve.
00:51:41Ready?
00:51:44Now!
00:51:45I'm looking at the peacocks, sometimes I can eat rocks.
00:51:53Now I'll make you feed me cookies and beans from seaweed.
00:51:56Nanny Nanny, William goat, you cannot stash you.
00:51:59No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Oh! No! Oh!
00:52:02No! No!
00:52:03Ah!
00:52:11You are so beautiful.
00:52:33Wait. Return to me.
00:52:38I love you.
00:52:49Do you know how many germs you just ate?
00:52:51Some people don't wash their hands after they poop.
00:53:02They're gonna hate me!
00:53:23How are we supposed to hitchhike without thumbs?
00:53:26Where's Houdini when you need him?
00:53:28Houdini when you needy?
00:53:29Oh, boy.
00:53:32I'm free.
00:53:50What about me?
00:53:51I think I'd rather leave you like that.
00:53:53I'll fart all the way home.
00:53:55When you put it that way...
00:54:02Revolution cannot be successful without the complete cooperation of my soldiers.
00:54:11So I need to know right now.
00:54:13Who's with me?
00:54:17Oh, don't let this scare you.
00:54:19I would never threaten my own people.
00:54:23This is just to show you what it means to be revolutionary.
00:54:28This baby's what's gonna protect us from the evil...
00:54:32Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, pow, bang!
00:54:34That will try to stand in our way.
00:54:37Aren't you, baby?
00:54:38This isn't working.
00:54:39These people are racist.
00:54:40Newsflash.
00:54:41They don't even see you.
00:54:42Show some skin.
00:54:43I don't think that's gonna work.
00:54:44It can't hurt.
00:54:46It can't hurt.
00:54:48a racist. Newsflash, they don't even see you. Show some skin. I don't think that's
00:54:55gonna work. It can't hurt.
00:54:58We will crush the enemies of freedom with our mighty hands. We will make them pay for
00:55:19sins. We will seize their lands. Why aren't any of you singing along?
00:55:25We will make them pay for words. We will ring their necks. Am I at the wrong meeting?
00:55:33Hi, Bobby. You want to sing a song with me? What you got there?
00:55:40This? It was an M-16 assault rifle. Can I see it?
00:55:44No way, Bobbers. You taught me enough. Nothing comes between me and my Nelly.
00:55:51You fought in Vietnam?
00:55:52I think so. Maybe it was a video game.
00:55:58Yeah, they say your noodle is fried.
00:56:01Nelly would never cheat on you. She just needs me to clean her tube.
00:56:05Don't ever call her barrel a tube. It's her petunia.
00:56:12Sorry. Petunia. It won't ever happen again.
00:56:18Okay. Water her petunia.
00:56:25So, uh, what's tonight's topic?
00:56:28Violent revolution.
00:56:30Um, I think that's a topic for a different club.
00:56:32But, you could always start your own.
00:56:37Okay.
00:56:40Oh.
00:56:42Give me my gun back.
00:56:44I think I could borrow it.
00:56:46I have this horrible rat problem.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:52That was weird.
00:56:59Okay, so let's get down to business.
00:57:05Someone got a pen?
00:57:07Oh, yeah, it's okay.
00:57:08It's all right.
00:57:13You, again?
00:57:14Hi, Seymour.
00:57:15Um, do you know where April is?
00:57:17I think you're in a better position to know.
00:57:19Huh?
00:57:20Casanova.
00:57:21Well, you can't be serious.
00:57:24Look at me. I'm pathetic.
00:57:27You have a point.
00:57:33You wouldn't believe the places I...
00:57:35I left Seymour.
00:57:38Good move.
00:57:40Where have you been?
00:57:47So, I guess I need to get a case of mauve jelly beans.
00:58:00What's mauve?
00:58:01It's kind of like a light burgundy.
00:58:06I know I shouldn't be, but...
00:58:08I feel a little sad about my breakup.
00:58:11Are you sad that it didn't work out?
00:58:13Or sad that you ever thought it could?
00:58:17Good question.
00:58:18I guess I need a therapist of my own.
00:58:20That's what I'm here for.
00:58:23Don't you ever have relationship issues?
00:58:26I'm not exactly a dating material.
00:58:28No?
00:58:29I mean, do you know any girls who run to nutty homeless guys?
00:58:32We could work on you a bit.
00:58:35Nah.
00:58:36Let's just hit the swings.
00:58:37Okay.
00:58:47I hate to intrude.
00:58:56They gave me two beds.
00:58:57I might as well put the second one to use.
00:59:00And you might want to put the shower to use.
00:59:05Good call.
00:59:11Good night, Bobby.
00:59:12Good night, little buddy.
00:59:35I can't sleep.
00:59:36Me neither.
00:59:40Want a cuddle?
00:59:40Huh?
00:59:42It's been a while since I've had a good snuggle.
00:59:44Maybe it'll help us sleep.
00:59:46Okay.
00:59:48I get the inner spoon.
00:59:50Fair enough.
01:00:00Your hair smells good.
01:00:01Thanks.
01:00:04Night, little buddy.
01:00:06Night, night.
01:00:06Night.
01:00:10You little devil, you.
01:00:14Tuffy?
01:00:15What are you doing here?
01:00:16You pimp.
01:00:18How did you pull this off?
01:00:19Um, we're trying to sleep.
01:00:22Hey, Tuffy.
01:00:23Hi, April.
01:00:25You could see him?
01:00:26No.
01:00:28But you were talking in that general direction,
01:00:30so I thought I'd play along.
01:00:31Um, could Tuffy sleep in the extra bed?
01:00:44Why not?
01:00:52Good night, Tuffy.
01:00:54Night, little buddy.
01:00:55Good night.
01:00:55Good night, little buddy.
01:00:55Good night.
01:01:25Good night.
01:01:27Good night.
