Rule #2 :
Treat Yourself Like Someone
You are Responsible for Helping.
Mister Six :
I've come a long
way for You --
The Cosmic Hobo :
Naturally -- Don't expect any Thanks.
Angraecum sesquipedale. Beauty!
God! Darwin wrote about this one.
Charles Darwin?
Evolution-guy? Hello?
You see that nectary down there?
Darwin hypothesised a moth
with a nose 12 inches long
to pollinate it.
Everyone thought he was a loon.
Then, sure enough, they found
this moth with a 12-inch proboscis.
"Proboscis" means nose, by the way.
I know what it means.
Hey, let's not get off The Subject.
This isn't a pissing contest.
The Point is, what's so wonderful is that
all these flowers have a specific relationship
with the insect that pollinates it.
There's a certain orchid looks exactly like a certain insect.
So The Insect is drawn to This Flower, it's Double,
its Soul-Mate, and wants nothing more
than to make Love to it.
After The Insect flies off, it spots another
Soul-Mate Flower and makes love to it,
pollinating it.
And neither The Flower nor The Insect
will ever understand The Significance
of their lovemaking.
How could they know that because of
their little dance, The World lives?
But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do
something large and magnificent happens.
In this sense, They show Us
How to Live.
How the only barometer
You have, is Your Heart.
How when You spot Your Flower,
You can't let anything
get in Your Way.
ANDREWS:
They may use The Furnace,
but I want everyone in lockup by 22:00 hours.
We commit This Child and This Man
to Your keeping, O Lord.
Their bodies have been taken from
The Shadow of Our Night.
They have been released from all
Darkness and Pain.
The Child, and The Man
have gone beyond Our World.
They are
Forever Eternal
and
Everlasting

DILLON:
Why?
Why are The Innocent punished?
[ Rotweiler whimpers ] /
[ Ox Caucus Rumbles Deep and Heavily ]
Why The Sacrifice?
Why The Pain?
There aren't any Promises.
Nothing's Certain.
Only that some get Called;
some get Saved.
She won't ever know
The Hardship and Grief for
Those of Us, Left Behind.
We commit these bodies to The Void,
with a Glad Heart --
[Growling]
For within each Seed, there is
The Promise of A Flower.
And within each Death,
no matter how small –
There's always a new Life.
A New -- Beginning.
[ RAISES FIST ]
Amen.
PRISONERS :
Amen.
St. Helena :
I just wanted to say 'Thanks.'
for what you said at The Funeral.
My friends would have appreciated –
DILLON (jittery, and
anxious as All-Fuck) :
Yeah, well,
You Don't wanna
Know Me, Lady –
I'm a Murderer, and
Rapist of Women.
St. Helena :
.......Really.
Well, I guess I must
make you nervous.
DILLON:
Do You Have any Faith, Sister?
St. Helena :
Not much.
DILLON:
We've got a lot of Faith here.
Enough even for you.
St. Helena :
I thought Women weren't allowed.
DILLON:
Well, We've never had any before –
but We tolerate anybody...
Even The Intolerable.
St. Helena :
Thank You.
DILLON:
That's just a Statement of Principle,
Nothing Personal.
We've got a good
Place to Wait, here.
And until now...
No Temptation.

CLEMENS:
Dillon and The Rest of the alternative people
embraced religion, as it were,
about five years ago.
Take two.
St. Helena :
I'm on medication?
CLEMENS:
Hardly.
St. Helena :
What kind of religion?
CLEMENS:
Some sort of apocalyptic,
millenarian Christian
fundamentalist...
St. Helena :
Right.
CLEMENS:
Exactly. When The Company wanted to
Exactly. When The Company wanted to
close The Facility, Dillon and the rest
of the converts wanted to stay.
With Two Minders and
a medical officer.
And here we are.
St. Helena :
How did you get this
wonderful assignment?
CLEMENS:
How do you like your new haircut?
St. Helena :
It's OK.
CLEMENS:
Now that I've gone out on a limb for you
with Andrews, damaged my less-than-perfect
relationship with him, and briefed you
on the humdrum history of Fury-161 –
Can't you tell me what
you were looking for?
St. Helena :
Are you attracted to me?
CLEMENS:
In what way?
St. Helena :
In that way.
CLEMENS:
You're very direct.
St. Helena :
I've been Out Here
a long time.
