"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: Bribes on the highest level

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: Oh, if only, if only!
W: If only you had more money?
M: For people like us to garner Nobels.
W: Now you're talking bribes on the highest level!
M: Well, it's perceptible to my eyes only.
W: That doesn't make it right!
M: Of course, what you mean doesn't matter, it's what you act out.
W: Don't harbor ill acts in your heart.
M: (He goes to phone and dials)
W: Who are you calling?
M: Is the fence made of growing universes?
W: Now you're fencing hot goods?
M: I was not accusing you.
W: But I was accusing you.
M: Roses, roses!
W: Have thorns.
M: I am last, last in line, alas!
W: But that doesn't excuse trying to get ahead in a criminal manner.
M: (Whirls and falls)
W: You are very melodramatic today.
M: This is a very powerful tool.
W: Yes, a tool of manipulation.
M: There are too many books, after all.
W: Too many books on how to get ahead through manipulation.
M: Don't harbor ill acts in your heart.
W: And don't act them out, either.
M: My goodness!
W: Cherish your goodness.
M: Too many books on how to get ahead through manipulation.
W: Ignore them.
M: The world is beautiful, at times.
W: The world is beautiful when we do good.
M: They would have cured her if they'd used the poetry of the greats.
W: Who is your favorite great poet?
M: No, no, no, I'm not saying that because I can't see it, it doesn't exist.
W: Are you against the idea of artistic greatness?
M: Get it?
W: If you get it, you could win a Nobel.
M: I have to go now.
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 3 seconds ... Goodbye!
