man it is one hot day, isn't it. it is. I'm gonna go for a swim. good idea. where? right here. dude. you can't do that! why not? well for one, it's like a military zone here. and for another, you see those pump grates? you got any idea what they do? not really. toss my floaty to me when I'm in. I can't believe you're doing this. what the hell. I got no other plans. that's kinda obvious.

can we camp here? sure why not? well, it's a long way down to the water. is that a problem? no, it's getting back up that's the problem. you could always call a cab. you think? not really.

how do you do, good lady. I am traversing my realm. I am Cedric, your king. I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective. a what? if you're a king, then we're living in a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class is endlessly repressed. please, please, good woman, I am in haste. who is the lord of these lands? lord? we don't have a lord. we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. yes, yes. we take turns to be executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs... I see. ...but by a two thirds majority in the case of... I've heard enough! I order you to be quiet! order, eh? who do you think you are? I am your king you bloody peasant! there it is! there's the violence inherent in the system! I'm calling a communal meeting right now! king indeed! where's my squire? get me out of here! king indeed!

what are you doing, way out here? man, it's a floating world, and I'm floating in it. you're floating, are you? can't you see? and what is your chemical composition right now? oh, just the usual combination of fun subsidies is all. good for floating, I bet. definitely.

what are we doing here, paulie? you'll see. bring the package. we meeting someone? yeah, over behind that rock. anyone I know? don't think so. am I coming back? well, that's a good question. can I get a good answer? that depends on what you mean by 'good'

this is the place. the place? for what? it's a desert. we'll hold the rave here. set up the turntables. I wanna hear the sound bounce off those mountains. turntables? you need power! where am I gonna plug them in? hell, there's gotta be a plug here somewhere. go find it. I can feel the rhythm now! gonna need a really long extension cord. I don't care, make it happen! we gonna rock out tonight!

which way should we go? I dunno. you choose. how about we just make footprints in the sand. see where that takes us? works for me.

hey marvin, let's go out to the bar. no can do, man. I gotta get up early and drive over to the west side of the state. and you know how much I hate to drive. hey, it's no sweat. just pop in your phone and listen to tunes. the miles will just melt away. you think so? I know so. can you make me a playlist? what? you don't have a road-trip playlist? c'mon, man. I'll only need like 100 tunes, right? yeah, I'll just sit down and bang it out right now. I knew I could count on you. you sure 100 is enough? make it 200. I might get lost.

hey, floyd. back to work from the weekend? hi, Irv. yeah. I hate Mondays. me too. what's on the agenda for today? oh, gotta survey these mountains. do a lotta walking. ouch. that sucks. I'm in the office all day, doing paperwork, making calls. you lucky guy. yeah. none of that fresh air and exercise nonsense for me. you don't have to rub it in, Irv. sorry dude. yeah, I'll try and get over it.
