Farming Dirt





Callie Yells At Phoebe - Ghostbusters: Afterlife



[DOOR CLOSES]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Callie :
We’re barely hanging on here.

Phoebe Spengler :
You don’t understand.

Callie :
I understand you drove around town
destroying expensive property.

Don’t you think Your Father 
came out here for a reason?

Callie :
NoNo. I think he was a sad old man who 
turned his back on his family, his partners.

And for what? For a stupid farm in 
a town nobody cares about.

Where, by the way, everybody 
thought he was nuts.

Yeah, great decision, Dad.

Phoebe Spengler :
He was special
He loved science, like me.

Why didn’t you tell me 
My Grandfather was 
Egon Spengler?

[♪♪♪]

Callie :
Hey, I’m glad you found 
yourself here. I really am.

But all I see are reminders that 
I didn’t mean a thing to him.

He never cared about me.

Phoebe Spengler :
He’s not nuts.

Callie :
Well, then he’s an asshole.
Welcome to The Family.

Assholes : A Theory establishes the 
philosophical understanding of the subject. 

For example, according to James, an asshole "allows himself 
to enjoy special advantages in social relations out of 
an entrenched sense of entitlement that 
immunises him against the complaints 
of other people." 

As Martin Patriquin wrote in Maclean's, the author "spends 
214 quite convincing pages arguing that “assholeness” 
is less inattention than a permanent state of mind [...]"
