The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
[Referring to Professor Hess, who has just made a disturbing phone call to Sam] Friend?

Samuel Curtis:
[pauses to ponder] A question to which 'yes' or 'no' would not quite suffice.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
Does he call a lot?

Samuel Curtis:
No... He disappears for long stretches of time... and then he finds me, and kills everyone I come in contact with, and tries to forgive me. When he does that, he's gonna' kill me.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
Do you like him?

Samuel Curtis:
[pauses to ponder] Yeah. He's like family.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
And when he forgives you, he's gonna' kill you?

Samuel Curtis:
[Nodding his head] That's the kinda' guy he is.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
What kind of guy is he?

Samuel Curtis:
He's a birthday boy. He kills without reason. If he has no reason to kill you, then he can kill you. But if he *has* a reason to kill you, then he's got a problem. Because if he kills you without resolving that problem, then you'd be dead, and the problem would live on forever, unresolved.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
That doesn't make any sense.

Samuel Curtis:
Yeah, it does.

The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast:
What did you do that was so hard to forgive?

Samuel Curtis:
Well, I'll tell ya'.
