"so what about that film - what's it called.... 'the treaty.' the demon lady said they were doing these things to prove that god will forsake you."
"that is the lie. that god will forsake you. we forsake god. not the other way around. we choose the path of fear."
"there's also in the idea that war is inevitable. think about how many people believe in armeggedon. think about how many people are just ready and waiting to go to war, against something. terrorists. corporations. countries. the only real war is the one against fear. and temptation, of course," she says, taking a deep drag off a winston. "shit. i've gotta stop this smoking."
"think about that film 'bash,'.."
"you mean the one with the guys that go to war with gay bashers....to 'purge the bad elements.' the blonde guy said that 'no revolution is bloodless' or something like that."
"yeah. the old 'action-reaction' figure eight thing."
"what goes around comes around. without grace, that is. grace 'lives outside of karma,' right?"
"grace. forgivness."
"this reminds me of numerology. the numbers... 6. 12. 7, 13..... man, i fucking love this song..... 'no one around you will love you today and throw it all away'.....it's so beautiful. when it comes on i have to stop what i'm doing and just take it in."
"'it's you that decides'. george just about sums it up, doesn't he?"
"yep."
"what about that couple we met?"
"that was wacky. that film was intense. couldn't you feel the tension around us when he starting fucking the manniquin?"
"yeah. they guy next to me bellowed,'brilliant!'"
"it stood out because of the raw emotion in it. passion. desperation. you know what i mean?"
"yeah."
"that mannequin was kind of sexy. don't you think?" hahaaaaaa.
"as mannequins go i mean."
"yeah, she was kind of hot i guess."
"i'm tempted to ask you if you would, or have ever, done anything like that, but that seems to be one of those 'don't ask, don't tell' things. i'm better off not asking."
"haaaaaa - never with a mannequin. i swear."
"yeah. me neither. you know, i liked the emotion in that 'lost my head' animated film, too. he was so happy to have a normal head for once. it was like he had a new lease on life, but then the head's rightful owner came after him."
"yeah, and he didn't give the guy his head back."
"and then he lost both heads, the stolen one, and the alien looking one."
"two heads in a bag are worth more than one under a truck."
"two heads in a bag aren't really worth anything. what good are they in the bag? unless you're playing one of those 'guess what's in the bag' games. a twisted version, that is."
"it was just a joke, babe. but if you want to go that deep with it, you're right. why leave people guessing what's in the bag? why not walk tall with that big green alien head of yours."
"right. stand tall with that big green head, man. i really liked the animation. it captured feeling. did you see the fingers?"
"yeah. whispy. a little crooked."
"wild story. what about the old man and his pretend pet? i loved that."
"and the one with the american flags."
"yes, they don't get very dirty because they never touch the ground. they have to be pampered. they are delicate."
"that was one of my favorites. i loved the line 'makes you feel like you should be in love with something."
"yeah, like he's in love with his josephine. unlike the couple at the alter. i liked the bride's angst at that crucial moment. and the crazed wedding planner. it was interesting that, despite her insight, she committed to the piccolo again."
"what about the heredity and fate one?"
"fate. the sum of unconscious choices."
"as opposed to destiny?"
"i guess that would be the sum of your conscious choices."
"so the guy who choose to jump off the building was making an unconscious choice? it seemed like a conscious choice."
"i don't know. these words are impossible to define. maybe with him, it was the sum of both conscious and unconscious choices. he unconsciously believed in this 'heredity' of early demise. he was afraid it would get him eventually, like his 'fate' had been cast. he believed in it so much, and feared it so much that he made a conscious choice to end his life. to thwart this 'fate' he acted through his fear of suffering an early demise, and as a result, suffered an early demise."
"a self fulfilling prophecy."
"is there any other kind?"
"that takes us back to 'armeggedon' again. great films."
"they all had their merits."
"and their messages."
"and their messages," he echoed.

everyone has choice, when to and not to raise their voices: it's you that decides.*** george harrison, run of the mill
