"We're all temps."

Daisy: Doesn't it bother you, Georgia?

George: What?

Daisy: Everyone's thoughts are the same. Two thirds are people who Regret. The Rest are people who forgot to do stuff, or are Praying, or are... Alone... Shouldn't there be More?

George: More what?

Daisy: More piles. More Words, more Thoughts.

George: I guess...

Daisy: And then... And then you Die. And you might become a Reaper, aaand the Magic of Creation, well that just turns out to be a 9 to 5, with lots of paperwork. It's just, it's so.. It's so Everyday.

George: Lots of people leave. There's nothing everyday, about where they're Going.

Daisy: How do you know that's true? Maybe we just keep moving from one Filing job, to the next. Oh my god. We're All Temps.

George: It was strange to hear the secret of the universe tumble out of the mouth of a fallen starlet. In a copy room, at three o'clock in the morning. But, considering what the secret was... It was perfect.

One of momentai's most recent posts made me think of that conversation.

I can't imagine hearing the secret of the universe in any other way........except maybe from a purple cow.

I could accept it directly from a waitress, at Waffle

Well.......true, you always have to believe a waitress from Der Waffle Haus. I'd obviously also believe it from you because well.....you've done it before. lol.

the secrets of my universe have most often fallen from the lips of children in the 5 to 10 age range...actually the secret was thrown cos kids tend to be loud.

Such is the way of children, indeed.
