The Rum Diary2011

Paul Kemp:
[Kemp and Sala are wandering down a pier late at night, high on hallucinogens] I thought I was losing grip in there. What did we take?

Sala:
I don't know.

Paul Kemp:
We need to get some more. [Kemp stops to stare at a tank full of lobsters] [quietly] That explains it... doesn't it?

Sala:
Explains what?

Paul Kemp:
The world... and us. [he stares deep into the eyes of one particular lobster] [voiceover] I wonder what it is you might think about our different worlds. He looked at me kinda sideways and said, "Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who claim a God, and the only living thing that behaves like it hasn't got one. Does the world belong to no one but you?" And when he said it, I was taken aback. Not because of who was doing the talking. Because I finally understood the connection between children scavenging for food, and shiny brass plates on the front doors of banks.
