Cutie. Can’t see her. *

What’s a boobie? *

AARON *

It’s Jew for Grandma. *

ALDOUS *

That’s a beautiful story, mate. *

You have such a kind, old soul. *

AARON *

saying is it’s never too late to *

make amends. *

right side of the aircraft will be *

able to see the beautiful lights of *

Las Vegas. *

How may I help you? *

ALDOUS *

These are busted too. *

How do you know? You haven’t tried *

them yet. *

we can’t stay here. *

ALDOUS *

What if he died tomorrow and I *

didn’t see him because of some *

concert? It’s like if you had *

never gotten to see your boobie *

that one last time? *

AARON *

That was just a like a once in a *

million years coincidence. He’s *

not going to die tomorrow. *

ALDOUS *

You don’t know that. *

AARON *

And if he does, his energy is still *

going to rejoin the big overall *

energy field of everything so it *

doesn’t matter if you see him. *

ALDOUS *

I was just making that all up. *
