You don't mess with fate, Peanut. People die when they are meant to die. There's no discussion. There's no negotiation. When life's done, it's done. You of all people should know that.
[George is at a meeting at work about scrapbooking and has a daydream.]
This is my work related scrapbook. [She opens to a page and points.] These are bone fragments I found in a telephone pole next to an exploded high voltage transformer. [Turns to another page.] And, this is from that nuclear reactor incident. I think it's a testicle!
[Everyone in her daydream laughs.]
[Rube, George and Betty are at a Bowers family reunion trying to find M. J. Bowers.]
Is your name M. J.?
OMOld Man Bowers
What?
My friend tells me 'go say hello to M. J. he's standin' over there' and she points to you.
OMOld Man Bowers
Which friend?
Right there. Pretty girl in the pant suit.
[They look at George and George waves.]
OMOld Man Bowers
That one? I don't know her. Uh, what is she pointing at me for?
She thought you were M. J. Bowers. Are you?
OMOld Man Bowers
Who wants to know?
It's a family reunion. We're all family. I'm just askin' your name.
OMOld Man Bowers
I don't know you, sir!
Rube. Hi, how are you? Listen, I'm tired of fuckin' around. Is your name M. J. Bowers or not?
Old Man Bowers [confused]: Uh...
(George sees Dolores bring a basket to her cubicle.)
George [voiceover]: If this is Murray the dead cat, I'm so outta here.
Why do I keep losing all the things and people that I care about?
That's what life is, Peanut.
