"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: People Disappear Faster than Things

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: You are still a mirror.
W: Was I ever anything but?
M: No way out of the casino.
W: And, of course, it is rigged.
M: Is that why you're frightened?
W: Wouldn't you be?
M: What is your name?
W: I'm just the scriptwriter.
M: What was a trick?
W: There are only a few tricks in the script.
M: You can go to prison for establishing a cult of personality.
W: I think you have to be pretty unscrupulous to be successful in that.
M: I myself will set the example.
W: Cool, will this be a money-making cult?
M: Good-o.
W: I hope you're not going to sell flowers in airports.
M: It's not a "whom."
W: Then what is it you're going to sell?
M: You really like that quote!
W: Actually, I wasn't sure how to respond.
M: No, you're not the prize?
W: I think you are confusing people and things today.
M: There, and then not there.
W: People disappear faster than things.
M: Sometimes you win, sometimes you're Anita Loos.
W: The whole blonde obsession.
M: You will never die, you will live forever.
W: That is a cult-of-personality concept.
M: People disappear faster than things.
W: But the cult icon lives on forever.
M: I didn't know you were here to minister to me.
W: I wouldn't try to sell you a false religion.
M: I think you are confusing people and things today.
W: Make sure not to treat people as objects.
M: I'm glad to hear that kind of torture doesn't really exist.
W: Unfortunately, it not only exists, it is increasing.
M: Don't be afraid, it's for your own protection.
W: Reification of the world does not protect me, it's an illusion.
M: You are Beauty?
W: Sure, I represent Truth, Beauty, all the good things.
M: (Out)
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
