I know what you're saying. It doesn't pay so well, but, I like it. Mm-hmm. Eventually it'll depend on the woman I marry, I think. Maybe she'll want lots of kids, a bigger house, better car, uh... College doesn't come cheap. You know? I don't know.

Oh, I told Drew and the board that Bill depended on you. Drew and Bontecou are gonna chop up the company, sell it off for parts. Bontecou was outside. Drew was Mr. Inside. And I was the fool who made it all happen.

" All the sparks and energy you give off, the rosy advice you dispense in round, pear-shaped tones. What the hell is this? Who are you? Just think of millenniums multiplied by eons... compounded by time without end. I've been around that long. But it's only recently that your affairs here have piqued my interest. Call it boredom. The natural curiosity of me, the most lasting... and significant element in existence, has come to see you. About what? I want to have a look around before I take you. Take me where?
