Eric Packer
- Eric Packer: I remember what you told me once.
- Didi Fancher: What's that?
- Eric Packer: Talent is more erotic when it's wasted.
- Didi Fancher: What did I mean?
- Eric Packer: There's a poem I read in which a rat becomes the unit of currency.
- Michael Chin: Yes, that would be interesting.
- Eric Packer: Yeah, that would impact the world economy.
- Michael Chin: The name alone, better than the dong or the kwacha.
- Eric Packer: The name says everything.
- Michael Chin: Yes. The rat.
- Eric Packer: Yes, the rat close lower today against the euro.
- Michael Chin: Yes, there's going concern that the Russian rat will be devalued.
- Eric Packer: White rats, think about that.
- Michael Chin: Yes, pregnant rats.
- Eric Packer: Major sell-offs of pregnant Russian rats.
- Michael Chin: Britain converts the rat.
- Eric Packer: Joins trend to universal currency.
- Michael Chin: Yes, US is establishing the rat standard.
- Eric Packer: Is every US dollar redeemable for rat?
- Michael Chin: Dead rats!
- Eric Packer: Yes, stockpiling of dead rats called global health menace.
- Vija Kinsky: What is the flaw of human rationality?
- Eric Packer: What?
- Vija Kinsky: It pretends not to see the horror and death at the end of the schemes it builds. This is a protest against the future. They won't hold off the future. They want to normalize it, keep it from overwhelming the present. The future is always a wholeness, a sameness, we're all tall and happy there. This is why the future fails. It can never be the cool and happy place we want to make it.
- Eric Packer: Holes are interesting. There are books about holes.
- Benno Levin: There are books about... shit.
- Eric Packer: I like your mother. You have your mother's breasts.
- Elise Shifrin: Her breasts?
- Eric Packer: Great, standup tits.
- Eric Packer: For someone your age and your gifts, there's only one thing in the world worth pursuing both professionally and intellectually.
- Michael Chin: What is it, Michael?
- Eric Packer: The interaction between technology and capital, the inseparability.
- Michael Chin: High school was the last true challenge.
- Elise Shifrin: You smell of sex.
- Eric Packer: That's my doctor's appointment you smell.
- Elise Shifrin: I smell sex all over you.
- Eric Packer: It's sweat. It's hunger you smell.
- Vija Kinsky: People will not die. Isn't this the creed of the new culture? People will be absorbed in streams of information. I know nothing about this. Computers will die. They're dying in their present form. They're just about dead as distinct units. Box, screen, keyboard, they're melting into the texture of everyday life. Is this true or not?
- Eric Packer: Even the word "computer."
- Vija Kinsky: Even the word "computer" sounds backward and dumb.
- Elise Shifrin: I like taxis. I was never good at geography, and I learn things by asking the drivers where they come from.
- Eric Packer: They come from horror and despair.
- Elise Shifrin: Yes, exactly. One learns about the countries where unrest is occurring by riding the taxis here.
- Didi Fancher: [while having sex] Oh, fuck! Was I expecing you?
- Eric Packer: I was just passing by.
- Didi Fancher: Thought you'd drop in, did you? That's nice. I'm glad. I missed that thick cock of yours.
- Eric Packer: God! Didi, slow down! You're gonna make me finish early!
- Didi Fancher: I guess you can say you couldn't handle this pussy.
- Eric Packer: You know I can't.
- Didi Fancher: [He climaxes] I actually read about it. The wedding, you know. Or did I saw it on TV? Strange you didn't tell me. But, nevermind.
- Elise Shifrin: It's true, you know? You do actually reek of sexual discharge.
- Eric Packer: It's not the sex you think I've had. It's the sex I want. That's what you smell on me.
- Elise Shifrin: Where were you going?
- Eric Packer: To get a haircut.
- Elise Shifrin: Do you need a haircut?
- Eric Packer: I need anything you can give me.
- [first lines]
- Torval: Where?
- Eric Packer: I wanna a haircut.
- Torval: The president's in town.
- Eric Packer: We don't care. We need a haircut. We need to go crosstown.
- Torval: You will hit traffic that speaks in quarter inches.
- Eric Packer: Just so I know. Which president are we talking about?
- Torval: United States. Barriers will be set up. Entire streets deleted from the map.
- Eric Packer: Show me my car.
- Eric Packer: The phenomenon of reputation is a delicate thing. A person raises on a word and falls on a syllable.
