Redheads are The Wildcard

Q. :

Blondes or Brunettes?

David Lynch :

(smiling)

For Me, personally, it's BRUNETTES --

But REDHEADS are The WILDCARD.....

The Homeric Legends: Crossing the Threshold

Mythologist Joseph Campbell discusses one of the first adventures in Homer's Odyssey, 

Odysseus and his crew's descent across 

The Threshold of Adventure — 

The Encounter with the man-eating Cyclops 

Polyphemus.

Ambitious Asian :

I don't get it.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

What don't you get?

Ambitious Asian :

The whole thing. It doesn't make sense.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

It VIOLATE Common Sense.

That's the WHOLE Point.

That's what Einstein couldn't accept.

Ambitious Asian :

I can't accept it either --

Do you know anything about spontaneous human combustion?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Walter, come on.

That's Schrodinger's Cat.

Ambitious Asian :

I know, I know.

So what's The Point?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) : 

The Point is, until The Cat is Observed BY SOMEONE,

he's not in ANY definite state,

either Alive OR Dead.

He's in a wave superposition state, 

both Dead AND Alive at The SAME Time.

Ambitious Asian :

Huh?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Okay --

ONLY when WE Open The Box and OBSERVE The Cat

does he materialise into Reality, either Dead or Alive.

Ambitious Asian :

But it doesn't make sense.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

That is The ENTIRE, 

Complete Point.

It doesn't make any 

COMMON Sense.

Our Common Sense 

BREAKS DOWN 

on a subatomic level.

Ambitious Asian :

Why do I want a PhD in THIS?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Particle beam weapons, research grants.

Ambitious Asian :

A millionaire when I'm 40 --

NOW I Remember.

Well, sleep with him. Get an "A".

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

So what about your plans?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

I was gonna study, actually.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

Me too. I'm Brian Marsh, by the way, 

since we're spending the weekend together.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

I know. Catherine Danforth.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

I know.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

So where did you transfer from?

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

Kneale. Theoretical Physics.

I came here to study with Birack.

You're Applied Physics, right?

So why are you taking Birack for Theory?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

I wanna know 

what The Math means.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

Birack's ruthless.

He wants Philosophers, not Scientists.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Well, I've read his books.

He's a brilliant man.

Just when I think I've got it, visualised it, it just all goes away.

I start seeing old-fashioned 

Classical Reality again.

I want The Clockwork back.

I wanna put it all into A Little Box.

But whenever I try, it just, uh, SLITHERS OUT.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

Some things aren't changed by Quantum Physics though.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Such as?

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/Jor-El :

Well, for instance,

Every Theoretical Physicist I know wonders why it is that
No one who Looks Like You ever seems to settle down 

in our end of The Building.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

That's Not True and That's An Extremely Sexist Thing to Say.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/ Jor-El :

Confirmed Sexist and Proud OF it.

Hey. I was just joking.

What Happened?

You Talk Numbers, You Get Romantic.

You Talk People, You Clam Up.

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Just a little miscue, that's all.

It's not your fault.

I'm sorry. I'll see you later.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/ Jor-El :

Hey, wait --

This Conversation isn't What I Had in Mind --

Can We Start Over?

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Okay.

Jack Parsons/Captain Marvel/ Jor-El :

Okay --

"I was hoping that you would need some help with Your Theory,

and that maybe we could discuss it over... over Dinner or Something."

BABALON, The Scarlett Woman --

(Redheads are The Wildcard) :

Well, I suppose something could be arranged.

There are other things that I need help with... over dinner.
