Keep your head together! Don’t look down!
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
I’ve been watching you, Jack. You’re curious. What are you looking for in those books? Do they bring back old memories
No. Memory imprints. I’ve seen 'em - a buddy of mine is a programmer at the institute, he showed me. There’s only, like, twelve stories, they change around little details, but they’re all pretty much the same. The life you think you had before the ‘contamination’ - it never happened.
Foreign contaminant!
Foreign contaminant!
Foreign contaminant!
When the bomb goes off there’ll be a thousand mutations! Andromeda will spread everywhere! They’ll never be rid of it!
Well let me tell you. There are worse things than death.
“The best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people”
Oh, see, I made Louis a bet here. See, Louis bet me that we couldn’t both get rich and put y’all in the poor house at the same time. He didn’t think we could do it. I won.
Everybody thought I had a duster. Y’all thought ol’ Spindletop Burke and Burnett was all the oil there was, didn’t ya? Well, I’m here to tell you that it ain’t, boy! It’s here, and there ain’t a dang thing you gonna do about it! My well came in big, so big, Bick and there’s more down there and there’s bigger wells. I’m rich, Bick. I’m a rich ‘un. I’m a rich boy. Me, I’m gonna have more money than you ever thought you could have - you and all the rest of you stinkin’ sons of… Benedicts!
We offer you the bond of family that very few oilmen can understand. I’m fixed like no other company in this field and that’s because my Coyote Hills well has just come in. I have a string of tools all ready to work. I can load a rig onto trucks and have them here in a week. I have business connections so I can get the lumber for the derrick; such things go by friendship in a rush like this. And this is why I can guarantee to start drilling and put up the cash to back my word. I assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won’t be there…

I gave him the limp.
Young man, are you sure you’re trying that shoe on the right foot?
Your bogus ingenuousness is straining my equanimity.
The central message of Buddhism is NOT “Every man for himself”…

I speak of Intimacy, or Into-Me-I-See
I sing the body electric. I celebrate the me yet to come.
