A Conversation:
Two men talking, and first one says: "Is thinking-for-yourself like an intellectual awakening, or a re-awakening?"
And the second gent says: "Is being-alive a living, or a re-living?"
Game Point:

One day, one man said to his old, already-established, collectively-based-mind: "After all we've been through -- I want to tell you; if you -- (god forbid) -- should ever get in trouble, just call me and I'll come get you out of jail ...except -- on Jupiter, or in Bartow County."
