SAM
So, now you're getting it, eh?
Now you're understanding the human heart...
PAUL
What do you mean?
SAM
We weren't made for this world we created for ourselves.
This world of brutality, of sheer survival...
PAUL
A knife's edge...
SAM
[in a mocking voice.] "What do you mean?"
PAUL
...
SAM
But you get it now, right?
PAUL
I believe so, let me try to put it together... humans are built as creatures of intuition, people of heart. We were created with all these emotions, thoughts, and motivations, and yet placed into a world of "sheer survival", as you put it.
SAM
Precisely! He's getting it, ladies and gentlemen! [claps.]
We were not made for this world.
PAUL
That's a scary idea. Then what were we made for?
SAM
Another world, a world of pure intuition...
the harvest time will soon arise
and in the silver reap,
a fleshy thorn, a silver stone,
all of dust, made cheap
PAUL
...
SAM
I'm scaring you?
PAUL
I'm not sure if I like where you're going with this.
Is this... some kind of gnosticism?
SAM
You might call it that.
You've always been fascinated with those permutations of Christianity that never came to be, right? The evolutionary paths that got wiped out.
You're also struggling with anti-body sentiments, right? How our Protestant culture has situated us all to perpetually hate and repress the body, to repress our nature themselves.
So, you created me. I'm the thoughts you never bothered to think.
