Ad infinitum ad forte.

Mark: So the creation is sustained by prayer?
Swami: Well, we must all be creative, as this is what makes life meaningful.
Mark: Why are we praying then…?
Swami: Because we are in error.
Mark: Mm.
Swami: The computer will detect the errors. It is programmed to do so.
Mark: But what is troubling me then ?
Swami: Not knowing the true nature of your self. Who are you in essence?
Luis: He is God in essence ?
Mark: No, I am not. This scheme is for the handicapped.
Luis: Yesterday I came here and I got lost.
Swami: The rocks… use them as lighthouses.
Luis: They are like huge sculptures. Excavated from the rock face.
Karen: And we are drilling mainly for gas. Natural gas. The wells range between two thousand five hundred metres to three thousand five hundred metres in depth. Ha ha ha.
Luis: So basically I am in charge of the three workers under me. I am in charge of all the mechanical and electrical systems. The air systems. Pretty much everything that is moving on the rig. Except the rocks.
Swami: It is pretty dangerous. The errors can add up. They can even explode sometimes.
Karen: Do you have a background in like engineering or anything like that… mechanical…?
Mark: Oh. Well. Here I am. I am standing outside the Mosquito City Trade Towers and I have got an interview with Peter Bestluck, the richest man in Mosquito City, in about five minutes. I had better go in…
Peter: When was your appointment ? Five thousand years ago?
Wong: And…but he..when he…when he called (and it was recorded) it was the ice age. He said he wanted to live forever. I have the carbon dating.
Swami : What do you call that in Chinese ? The elixir of immortality?
Luis: “Chang sheng bu lao yao”
Peter: He did not come back because if he could not complete his mission he would be killed…Abdul: كل سنة و انت طيب *1
Santa: He dared tell a Sardarji joke. सालगिरह की हार्दिक शुभकामनायें *2
Luis: And so we must have five hundred boys and five hundred girls to get there…to make a big ceremony …to hold a big ceremony…
Nakamura: …Living in the mountains in Japan were some people with long beards and long hair. They were not Asian people. They were very hairy people.
Santa: Arrhe .. My sister would have been like five or six and I would have been, as I said, about two at that time so they traveled with two children just to show us I guess..
Swami: I rest my case.
Mark: A fronte praecipitium a tergo lupi. Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam

*1 ? you are hoW
*2 (unintelligible)
