[ Man ] The dilemma Dostoyevsky
claims here to have discovered...

:04:13
goes to the very core of Christianity's
relationship to the modern world.

:04:18
But it is a dilemma that--
Yes, Libbets.

:04:22
But Dostoyevsky is saying
here is that...

:04:25
to be a Christian is to choose, because
you have to choose of your own choice.

:04:28
And since you can't choose
to be good...

:04:31
because that'd be too rational,
you have to choose to be bad.

:04:35
- It's existential.
- Thank you, Libbets. That's
a very compelling summary.

:04:41
But, of course,
existentialism, per se--

:04:47
Libbets ? Hey,
:04:50
Dostoyevsky--
I'm also really a fan.

:04:54
And, uh, what you were
saying, you know--

:04:57
- Have you ever read The ldiot ?
- The ldiot ?

:05:01
If you liked Notes From Underground,
you'll love The ldiot.

:05:05
Great.
Thanks for the tip.

:05:10
The ldiot !

[ Boy ]
I'm in love with Libbets Casey.

:05:16
Oh, come on. She's a poor little rich
girl. Check out the jeans and fur look.

:05:19
And get a load of this: like, her mom
and stepdad and stepsisters...

:05:23
are going to Switzerland
to ski over Thanksgiving break
and they didn't invite her.

:05:27
- How do you know this shit ?
- They did it last year too.
It's traditional or something.

:05:32
They've got this humongoid place
in New York and she just holes
up there with a wad of cash.

:05:38
You think Francis is going
to beat me to the punch here ?

:05:41
Since he sleeps with every girl
you ever show an interest in,

:05:45
why don't you just keep your
Libbets fixation a secret from him ?

:05:50
You already told him.

I hope you changed the water
in that bong from last night.
