1:29:01
Why shouldn't
I work for the N.S.A.?
1:29:05
That's a tough one,
but I'll take a shot.
1:29:09
Say I'm workin' at the N.S.A.
and somebody puts a code on my desk.
1:29:11
Something no one else
can break.
1:29:13
Maybe I take a shot at it
and maybe I break it.
1:29:15
I'm real happy with myself
because I did my job well.
1:29:18
But maybe that code was
the location of some rebel army
in North Africa or Middle East.
1:29:21
Once they have that location, they bomb
the village where the rebels are hidin'.
1:29:24
Fifteen hundred people that I never met,
never had no problem with, get killed.
1:29:28
Now the politicians are saying, "Send in
the Marines to secure the area,"
1:29:31
'cause they don't give a shit.
1:29:33
It won't be their kid
over there gettin' shot,
1:29:35
just like it wasn't them when
their number got called 'cause
they were in the National Guard.
1:29:38
It'll be some kid from Southie
over there takin' shrapnel in the ass.
1:29:41
He comes back to find the plant
he used to work at...
1:29:43
got exported to the country
he got back from,
1:29:45
and the guy who put the shrapnel
in his ass got his old job...
1:29:48
'cause he'll work for 15 cents
a day and no bathroom breaks.
1:29:50
Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason
he was over there in the first place...
1:29:53
was so we could install a government
that would sell us oil at a good price.
1:29:56
Of course, the oil companies
used a skirmish over there
to scare up domestic oil prices.
1:30:00
A cute little ancillary benefit
for them, but it ain't helpin'
my buddy at 2.50 a gallon.
1:30:04
They're takin' their sweet time
bringin' the oil, of course.
1:30:06
Maybe they even took the liberty
to hire an alcoholic skipper,
1:30:08
who likes to drink martinis and fuckin'
play slalom with the icebergs.
1:30:12
It ain't too long till
he hits one, spills the oil...
1:30:14
and kills all the sea life
in the North Atlantic.
1:30:16
So now my buddy's out of work,
he can't afford to drive,
1:30:18
so he's walkin' to
the fuckin' job interviews...
1:30:20
which sucks because the shrapnel in his
ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids.
1:30:23
Meanwhile, he's starvin', 'cause every
time he tries to get a bite to eat,
1:30:26
the only blue plate special
they're servin'...
1:30:28
is North Atlantic scrod
with Quaker State.
1:30:30
So what did I think?
I'm holdin' out for somethin' better.
1:30:35
I figure, fuck it. While I'm at it,
why not just shoot my buddy,
1:30:39
take his job,
give it to his sworn enemy,
1:30:41
hike up gas prices, bomb
a village, club a baby seal,
1:30:43
hit the hash pipe
and join the National Guard?
1:30:46
I can be
elected president.
1:30:49
- You feel like you're alone?
- What?
1:30:52
Do you have a soul mate?
1:30:55
Do I have a--
Define that.
1:30:58
Somebody who challenges you.
