Waking Life (2001)

Charles Murdock: Old Man

Quotes 

• Old Man : As the pattern gets more intricate and subtle, being swept along is no longer enough.

  Boat Car Guy : Man this must be like... parallel universe night. You know that cat that was just in here? Just ran out the door? Well, he comes up to the counter, you know, and I say "What's the word, turd?" And he lays down this burrito and he kind of looks at me, kind of stares at me and says, "I have but recently returned from the valley of the shadow of death. I'm rapturously breathing in all the odors and essences of life. I've been to the brink of total oblivion. I remember and ferment the desire to remember everything."

  Wiley : So, what did you say to that?

  Boat Car Guy : Well, I mean, what could I say? I said, "If you're going to microwave that burrito, I want you to poke holes in the plastic wrapping because they explode. And I'm tired of cleaning up your little burrito doings. You dig me?"
