B/W and monochrome

halfway between the equator and the north pole. means nothing to me. why not? I feel like I'm halfway between heaven and hell. you don't say. and I don't like the direction I seem to be heading. from what I can see, I don't blame you. your faith in me is encouraging. you're welcome. I was being sarcastic. I wasn't.

he'll be coming this way. how do you know? this is the only passage. that's not how I got here. what? it's not? no. I came the other way. there is no other way. I'm just telling you. I came the other way. ok. better send a guy over there too. not that he could come that way, of course. of course. there is no other way. I'm sure you're right. yeah. pretty sure. maybe.

if anybody wants me, I'll be down there. doing what, exactly? communing with nature, if you must know. yeah? and what about that thing you need to do? hey, I gotta pay my respects to nature, ok? sure, but respect this: that thing can't wait long. what are you sayin'? I'm saying you're gonna be real close to nature. how close? like you can't tell where you stop and it starts. that's too close. thought you'd think so.

feel those vibes? creepy. vibes? I don't feel anything. you don't? damn. it's so obvious. I just started this allergy medicine. must be that. I know they're in there too. who's in there? you know, witches. yeah? let's go say hello. no man, they'll turn us into rats or something. you believe that shit? c'mon, man. that's what they did to joey. hey, joey was always a rat. he snitched on everybody. yeah. he deserved what he got. don't want no witches turning me into a snitch. me neither.

I'm going in. don't. it's suicide. you can't make it. I have no choice. I must. it's not worth it, I'm telling you. it's worth everything. cover me. you don't even know it's in there. oh, it's there all right. I don't think so. there are no cars on this island at all. what do you mean? I heard the horn! that was my bicycle, you moron. you were in my way. I was not! oh hell. let's get something to eat. ok, but I'm a very good driver. of course you are.

is there anywhere you have to be? right here, is all. good.

archangel, bring me Michael. I need him. what's happened, lord? are you. . . ok? I've had a narrow escape from my nemesis. you mean. . . ? yes, ba'al. he lured me to his evil lair. almost had me. but how could that be? you actually went to him? it was a moment of, I admit it, weakness. (gasp!) but he tempted me with a great deal on a used car. no! not again! it's true. luckily I was able to escape. and now? I summon my army of angels to rid the earth of this scourge. finally! he's sold his last piece of shit car. I promise you. O noble cause! well, I've seen better. but times are slow. evangelically speaking, of course. of course, lord.

may I help you? yeah, I'm here to pick up the new battle tank. excuse me? the new tank. the general want's to test it out. uh, we don't have any tanks here. what, someone else picked it up already? well, no. this is an art museum. we have. . . art. ok, buddy. stop fooling around. general wants his tank. yes, I see, but there's no tanks here, I'm afraid. look, what kind of armory is this, anyway? we have a few old cars on display. would one of those work? do they shoot? general likes stuff that shoots. er, no. maybe the general will like our next exhibit. yeah, what's that? the obsolescence of war as a problem solver between nations. sounds kind of pinko to me. will there be tanks? I'll see to it personally. ok then. hope we're not attacked before that. I totally agree.

is there anything else? not as far as I'm concerned, there isn't. good.

is everything all right? couldn't be better. I agree.

are we safe here? we should be, we're 7 levels below the surface. what's it like up there? burnt to a cinder, I expect. a nuclear wasteland. shit! so how long do we have to stay here? oh, 50 or 100 years. oh my god! what are we gonna do? what do you want to do? well, you know what I want to do. so let's do it. is it allowed? I won't tell if you don't. deal.

where are we going? anywhere but here. when will we get there? it doesn't matter.

so there you are. I was looking for you. well, now you found me. what are you gonna do with me? you really want to know? why, is it a secret. not really.

dude. let's grab some java. can't man. I got a meeting to go to. what meeting? don't tell anyone. I joined the illuminati. never heard of 'em. we're very secret. underground. oh yeah? then how'd they let a slacker like you join? I saw their ad on facebook. a secret society, you say? yeah. cool, eh? for sure.

you're new in town, ain't ya stranger. yessir, marshal. I just rode in. I see you're wearing a pistol on your belt. that is true. I never go anywhere without it. well, the thing is, we don't allow no guns in this town. that a fact? so I'll have to ask you to hand it over. slow-like. but I gotta big shoot-out scene in this movie. is that so? who with? why, with you marshall, I guess. just one more reason to take your gun then. I don't think the director's gonna like that. is he wearing a badge? no, I expect not. well then, that don't mean spit, do it. I like riding around on my big horsey. you are one tough hombre, aintcha. I surely am. and I look good on camera too. I don't doubt it for a second. whoa there, horsey. take it easy. this movie'll be a real firecracker. I can see that.

don't you have anything to say? I would. but I've lost the power of speech. that's what I like to hear.
