I know, Craig. You'd think in Heaven they'd have a cure for elephantiasis of the scrotum. But at least, the harp music is relaxing. Right, Craig?

"Well, I guess this answers the question of 'Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?' And it's not the same at all; for one, we're sitting on these giant goddamn eggs. But I guess some things never change, Chuck, because you're still a whiny little bitch."

Can't even get an exclusive cloud. Fuck!

Hey, you look like that sculpture where the guy puts his hand on his chin like he's thinking. What's that called? Thinking man?

You are correct, the angle of my right leg and foot does indicate that I've dislocated my hip, but can't afford to get it fixed, which means even God disapproves as socialized medicine.

"You know how it is, Gary, we sit on these eggs until the brand new precious angel baby souls hatch. So you either wait until it's done or you pray for an abortion. But that's murder. And involves tons of paperwork. Trust me. How do you think I got that vacation last year? Barely worth it. Although it was nice not to sit on an egg for two weeks."

"You gotta start looking on the bright side sometimes, Ewan. I worry. Marcia worries. Take now for instance. Sure, you dropped your Silly Putty, but at least you still have something to sit on. Plus, you lucked out, you're the only Presbyterian who made it into Heaven. Although I guess that's better news for the rest of us."

No, you're right to worry over the fate of "Cavemen." It could get yanked any minute. Your only hope is that someone at ABC sticks their neck out for it. But dude, think about it: this same exact time last year, would you, me or anyone have thought that "Men In Trees" would still be around? OK then, chin up!

We're wasted, and we have nothing but time, but I'm going to say "no" to what I know you're going to ask. Because I know you're going to suggest that we go flying. Dude, I've taken you over every last square inch of this place just to prove: there's no "God of TV" up here calling the shots. It's just some douchebag suits down in Studio City, fucking with destiny.

And yeah, you have infinitely more time on your hands, but they didn't hand you a genius imagination when you got here. That's why your "ultimate TV series" still only consists of Jessica Alba ending up partially undressed. You were an actuary down there, you're not James Brooks up here.

That's where I want to go after all this. A warm place with no memory. Open up a little hotel right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up new. Take my guests out charter fishing...You know, in a place like that, I could use a man that knows how to get things.
