Just this fucker stole 50 bucks' worth of shit from us today. And my boss said it was somehow my fault, and it's coming out of my paycheck... ...which I don't even think is legal. I mean, can he legally do that? Yeah, they can't do that. At least, they used to not be able to do that. I'll check. Hey, Donna, can I get anything from you? Yeah, how much? - Ten. - Ten? Yeah, I'm hurting really bad. I'll pay you back later. - Yeah, okay. Say, day after tomorrow? - Any sooner? I'll come by later, like around 8? Yeah. I'll see you later. - Okay. All right, bye. - Okay, bye. You see, all symptoms are purposeful, be they positive or negative. You see? I wouldn't feel strangely about it. Just the idea of turning yourself over for rehabilitation... ...is only naturally gonna make you a little apprehensive. But that's just a manifestation of the fear. It's just the: That's the D talking. You know, the first thing I hear, that when you go into the New Path... ...what they do to you, they cut your pecker off. They could never get away with that. You kidding? That's a myth. It's actually the spleen that's remanded to their custody. - The what? - Hey, how is everything? Everything is super good. Not with me. I got a lot of problems nobody else has. No, no, come on. More people than you'd think. And more people each day. This is a world getting progressively worse. Can we not agree on that? - What's on the dessert menu? - Would you like to order some dessert? Like what? Well, we have fresh strawberry pie... ...and fresh peach pie that we make here ourselves. - No, we don't want any dessert. - All right. Fucking fruit pies are for old ladies. - What do you think about New Path? - While it doesn't matter... ...what I think, I kind of have to tip my hat to any entity... ...that can bring so much integrity to evil. I mean, imagine this: A seemingly voluntary, privatized gulag... ...managed to eliminate the middlemen of public accountability and free will. Wrapped it up in a bow and gave it like a gift. I mean, come on, this is: This is awe-inspiring stuff. I heard you have to go cold turkey. Cold turkey doesn't even apply to Substance D. Unlike the legacy of inherited predisposition to addictive behavior or substances... ...this needs no genetic assistance. There's no weekend warriors on the D. You're either on it... ...or you haven't tried it. - Well, I like it. - Yeah. How many caps do you take per day? Very difficult to determine. But not that many. Well, like the old-school pharmacopoeia, a tolerance develops, you know. These visions of bugs, they're just garden-variety psychosis... ...but a clear indication that you've hurdled... ...over the initial fun and euphoric phase and passed on... ...to the next phase. News from the guinea-pig grapevine suggests that whatever it is... ...we won't know until it's way too late, you see? You see that we're all canaries in the coalmine on this one? I do think I have another source. That Donna chick. - Bob's girl? - Yeah. Yeah, his girl. Although I know for a fact he never gets in her pants. Really? - But he talks like he does. - Oh, yeah. That's Bob Arctor. He talks like he does many things. That's not the same, my friend. That's not the same thing. Donna has an aversion to bodily contact. I mean, junkies lose their interest in sex, you realize... ...due to organs swelling up from vasoconstriction. And I have observed in her an inordinate failure of sexual arousal... ...not just toward Bob Arctor... ...but other males as well. I can't believe she doesn't put out. Well, she would if she were handled right. For instance, I could show you how to sleep with her... ...for less than 3 dollars. I don't wanna sleep with her. I wanna buy from her.
