Rescue Me, Season 3
Tommy:
Tell me that she is not a nun. Tell me that, she was wearing a nun costume like her French maid costume was at the dry cleaners or somethin', right?
Lou:
[sighs] Okay. Your confusion is expected as was this conversation. What the mind sees is sometimes not which is real but the reality that is brought to it.
Tommy:
Really?
Lou:
I'm brushing up on Buddhism. The Buddhist approach to things. Ask yourself this Tommy: If a tree falls in the forest... [Lou opens up a book. Tommy takes Lou's book and throws it out the window] ...and there's no one there to see it or hear it, would you still be such an asshole? Actually, you might've done me a favor there by discarding one of my possessions. That's part of the path to enlightenment.
Tommy:
Okay, my foot is about to take the enlightened path up your ass. Is she a nun or is she not a nun?
Lou:
She's a semi-nun.
Tommy:
She's a semi-nun, what does that mean? She's in the Nun National Guard, huh? What, She's the bride of Christ one weekend a month? What the hell's that mean?!
Lou:
Why don't you sit down and calm yourself and I'll make us some green tea. And we will talk.
Tommy:
I'm not sitting with you and doing anything, okay? You have crossed a boundary my friend.
Lou:
You have boundaries?
Tommy:
I have one boundary Lou. One boundary and one boundary only, and that is no sex with nuns in the place where I live.
