things before your wedding,

and really start sort of

distilling for both of you...

what's important,

and what you feel might be negotiable.

Actually, you know,

Warren, I don't recall...

that we've ever discussed

your relationship...

to Judaism, and where you stand,

theologically speaking.

I was...

I was raised Jewish.

I, uh... had

a bar mitzvah.

Um...

I had a bris.

We don't need any proof.

We believe you.

Okay.

So, would you say that you

consider yourself today...

a practicing Jew?

I don't know what I am.

Uh, at the moment,

I think I'm leaning toward...

f***in' Buddhism.

Well, then today

is a great opportunity...

for all of us together

to talk about...

what you both believe in

your hearts to be important.

Well, uh...

You know, things

are weird out there.

They're really

kind of scary out there.

Crazy weather.

That was crazy.

That, and

the impending global...

massive change

that's going to happen...

at the latter end of 2012.

That has me, um,

uh, kind of preoccupied.

That and, you know,

there's certain shadow governments...

that are making very bold

maneuvers with our air space.

Yikes, honey.

It is... It is exciting, but maybe,

you know, for another time, babe.

It's happening now, honey.

It's not just the film.

It's happening with me. Now.

This anxiety.

This is all happening

right f***in' now,

and I'm trying to tell you this,

and you don't seem to want to listen to me.

I've been trying to tell you for

several weeks what's going on.

No. I do want

to listen.

But right now...

Actually, right now...

Right now, we are sitting with these two

lovely people that were nice enough...

Honey, what the f*** was that?

Whoa. Listen, I'm not

gonna sit there...

- I'm not gonna lie to those people.

- You don't want to get married.

- What are you talking about?

- Bullshit, okay?

This is about...

I want to survive.

This is about your fear

of commitment again.

No. I don't know what you're talking about.

You're being crazy.

I'm not saying you're doing it consciously,

but unconsciously,

you're sabotaging

our life together.

I feel it.

I feel it every day.

You walk out the door.

You just... You just need to listen to me,

okay?

Warren...

Look at me, please.

You need to listen to me

once in a while.

I don't want to hear

another word about it.

I don't want to hear another

word about chemtrails...

or, uh, Bilderberg

or f***ing, uh, torsion folds...

Torsion Fields.

Warren, I am serious, okay?

I need you to take

this wedding seriously.

Otherwise, just forget about it.

Okay. What do you

want me to do?

I just want you to be there.

Okay?

Okay. I will.

I will be. Okay.

Okay.

It's all good.

It's all good.

Okay.

Oh, God.

As he spiraled deeper...

into the rabbit hole

on his quest for truth,

Warren felt less

and less himself.

Ten thousand years

of Chinese medicine.

There's always

the possibility...

that what's going on

is from the neck up.

Your blood pressure is elevated.

He visited every doctor in his reach...

Western, Eastern, philosophical,

mental, holistic...

nothing.

His cholesterol and his

blood pressure were high,

but no specific illness

revealed itself.

For all intents and purposes,

he was a reasonably healthy person.

Or perhaps he was cursed.

Come with me, Don Peyote.

Warren had opened a wormhole.

His desire for knowledge

was insatiable,

and now, Warren seemed

to be living two lives.

On one hand,

he was still Warren,

the soon-to-be-married and

out-of-work graphic novelist.

On the other hand,

he was Warren the filmmaker,

documentarian and mythologist.

The truth seeker

and messenger from the gods.

Turn up the volume

of consciousness...

to become more complete.

Fear permeates

the entire culture.

- There's a lot of fear in this.

- It's a form of mind control.

When you talk about

destruction of the world...

by flood,

that becomes very real...

when you consider

the melting of the ice caps.

What geneticists are saying...

is that we're actually

evolving to another species.

Differentiation

in our gene expression...

has accumulated so much to the

point where some people...

can't even be classified

as Homo sapien.

One term is "Homo sanctus,"

which means spirit man.

These electrolyte salts...

facilitate voltage-gated

ion channels in the body.

What's that?

That's the Twin Towers?

Yeah. Definitely

looks like a tidal wave.

Is it a tidal wave

coming over the city?

Yeah. And the whole city

looks like it's being destroyed.

I wanted to get the highest

quality everything...

because I know you want

to get this done quickly.

What's the real price

of burning fossil fuel?

This'll be the latest end-of-the-world

scenario going on, Comet Elenin.

Chaos, anarchy,

potential for global wars.

So, we got media

reading our minds,

feeding it into us,

programming us.

There's three ways we can do it.

Quickly and cheaply...

Our infrastructure will be destroyed.

There won't be electricity.

- There won't be water.

- You could get it done with money.

And fast.

Or we could get it done...

- No. We can't... That's not...

- 2012 is a constellational movement.

With money, but not fast.

It would take longer.

Are you done?

It's way, way f***in' deep.

Way over everybody's head.

The true prophecy of 2012...

is something that we will,

in fact, bring upon ourselves.

As you can see,

we will have weather changes.

We will have new mutated disease

which will not be diagnosable,

And it is usually sign of...

What do you think about that whole

"Homo sanctus" thing?

- Yeah.

- You believe it?

Yeah. Don't you?

We need somebody.

They're like the Jedis, right?

Did you have your

wisdom teeth taken out?

Uh, yeah.

You're not Homo sanctus.

But if you have wisdom teeth,

then you are Homo sanctus?

If you don't have wisdom teeth,

then you are Homo sanctus.

This guy believes...

Weren't you listening?

He believes that

worst comes to worst...

that you could eat anything... plastic,

glass, you know, garbage.

He could... He could just...

He's actually grown...

and adapted to the pollution,

so it actually works for him.

You dig what I'm saying?

We're lower on the food chain.

This guy would eat you and me.

Well, maybe you.

Are you Homo sanctus?

Are you Homo sanctus?

Are you Homo sanctus?

Homo sanctus checklist.

No wisdom teeth.

Check.

Open mind.

Curiosity.

Check.

Yeah.

You are a spirit warrior.

Oh. Homo sanctus.

Hi. How you doing?

I'm okay.

How you doing?

Oh, man. I'm okay.

I was just playing around.

Yeah? What are you doing?

Um...

Just getting in touch...

You got into Mommy's lipstick.

I got into Mommy's lipstick.

Why? Uh... Why?

Oh, man.

Can I use that towel?

Yeah. Sure.

Um...

Just daydreaming again.

Next thing I knew, I... I was in Cats.

Yeah.

"Now and Forever."

"Now and Forever."

Sorry, baby. I messed up your lipstick.

No, no. It's okay.

Sh*t. It's okay.

I can get another lipstick.
