Goodbye, Butterfly (2021)

Quotes

Goodbye, Butterfly

Edit
  • Stan Granger: So tell me, honestly, how did I do? Emotions are so tricky. But I've had a lot of practice, and I really feel I hit all the right notes at the right moments tonight. Clara would've been my sixth. I've killed five children across three states for Him -i.e. God- and I'm sure the parents all probably felt similar things, to what you experienced, Ryan, but the truth is, the world never stops spinning, the universe didn't even blink. That's because good and evil, they don't really exist. They're human concepts. Like the offspring of wild animals are killed and die all the time. But when it happens to people, they make a big deal out of it, and that's because I think that we are fundamentally these self-important beings and the irony is, there are some serious problems facing our species. I don't think anyone has an idea. I don't think people understand how close we are to our own extinction event. The world had four billion people in it when I was born. Now there are eight, eight billion people. So, in another 100 years, overpopulation will ensure that our planet can no longer sustain human life. Other species will survive and thrive, of course. But we will not. And here you are, focusing all your attention on the life, of one small child. Why? Because our brains were not designed to handle problems that big. So, instead, we focus on the small. And that, that is our fatal flaw. The bug that He - i.e. God- wrote into our programming, to make sure that we remain a flash-in-the-pan sitcom that in the grand scheme of things, in the grand scheme of the planet's life, will not have even aired enough episodes to make it into syndication. It's sad.
  • Tyler: Sorry, should we be taking notes?
