The Columbo Files – S3 E6 – Mind Over Mayhem!

Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're

listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey,

it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to

Studio 2009. You're not a very good liar. I got

nothing to hide. I suspected you ten minutes

after I met you. All right, Lieutenant, you win.

Murder. Murder. I've been dean of this academy

for over 20 years, and we have never had a situation

like this. Believe me, sir, I know you've done

your best. If a student fails, we consider it

our failure, not his. To be honest with you,

I was afraid of something like this. We've had

a lot of problems with him at home. Then you

do understand we consider it best that you withdraw

him? Yes, sir. I'm very sorry, Lieutenant. She

sits around the house and drools, never moves.

We love him, but a dog should do something, even

if he just barks now and then. Yes. Oh, Lieutenant,

it's for you. Yeah, Columbo. My wife and kids,

they're visiting my mother -in -law up in Fresno.

You don't suppose you could keep them for another

week? I'm sorry. He demoralizes the other students.

There is nothing wrong with your podcast player.

Do not attempt to adjust the volume. Hello and

welcome back into our studio. You are now inside

Studio 2009 and only on the Geekcast Radio Network.

I'm, of course, T .F. Joe and Mike. Joining me

once again is that good old detective Dave Draper.

Hello, sir. How are you? Oh, hello. Hello? Hello?

Hello? Wait. Are we doing a bit, or can you not

hear me? No, I can hear you. We did have problems

at the beginning, so I'm like... Yes, well, you

know, that was Discord's issue, not ours. I blame

the technology. Stupid artificial bullshit. Today

we are continuing on our journey as we put our

trench coats back on and jump back in time with

Columbo. These are the Columbo files here inside

Studio 2009. As always, starting at the beginning,

going in order. Also, as always, we watch Columbo

on 2B .TV or 2BTV. We do now. We do now. Grumble,

grumble. Grumble, grumble. Today is Season 3,

Episode 6, and we are training our minds to overcome

the mayhem. And at the end of the last podcast,

folks, Dave completely missed my mobile armored

strike command joke. No, I got it. Okay. I just

indignify it. Like, there is more to life than

80s cartoons. I love you, Mike, but there's more

to life than 80s cartoons. Oh, there's really

not. No, no, there is. There is so much more.

Says the guy that has a whole basement filled

with 80s toys. And 90s and 2000s and 60s. Like,

dude, my collection spans decades. Uh -huh. I'm

sitting here looking at a bunch of stuff from

1993 because my Jurassic Park collection is right

here. Yep. Absolutely. I'm getting static from

my Warhammer situation. Why? It might be slightly

out of control, according to other people. I

can quit it whenever I want. Uh -oh. Just because

they released Angron, the World Eater, who's

the $400 figure in the... Oh, my God. It's gorgeous.

It's a scale. Like, he's actually huge. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. That's what I love about Warhammer

is, like, the scale is 118, but almost every

character is, like, you know, huge. Yeah. When

they do a human character, he's tiny. And then

you do Angron, and he's, like, he's giving He

-Man a run for his money. Yeah, exactly. Love

it. So Mind Over Mayhem, episode six of season

three. No, no, it's fine. My screen went black

and I don't know where the mute button is. I'm

so sorry. Uh -oh. I can cut it out. I didn't

know where that was on Skype. Yeah, unfortunately,

as of May 5th, 2025, Skype is completely dead.

We could be doing these on Skype right now. No,

we can't. It's March. No, we can't. March is

before May. Have to wean off of teat because

we will still get used to it. And then when they

really do take it away from us. I get it. That

is actually very wise. Yeah, exactly. I still

have the program on my computer, but I uninstalled

it off my phone. I removed it from my taskbar

on my computer, but it is still installed on

my computer. But I needed to... Uh -uh. Nope.

You don't have to justify it. I get it. I was

just saying a thing. Can't have the temptation

in front of me. For some reason, when we're doing

this through Discord, my computer goes, okay,

you're not doing anything. Because it didn't

do that with Skype. It shuts down, so I had to

get the whole thing back up again. By then, I'd

already coughed. Oh, God, now I'm looking at

these horrible... Discord. They're not that bad.

They're noxious. Oh, boy. All right. Mind over

mayhem. Dr. Howard Nicholson, played by Lou Aries?

What? No. The kid wasn't Jose Ferrer. The dad

was Jose Ferrer. I didn't say anything about

Jose Ferrer. I said I was reading the description

here. I got confused. Yeah. Dr. Howard Nicholson,

played by Lou Aries, threatens to expose Neil

Cahill, played by Robert Walker Jr., for plagiarizing

his paper from recently deceased scientist Neil's

father. What? There was a comma there, because

the deceased scientist was not Neil's father.

Yes, Neal's father, Dr. Marshall Cahill, played

by Jose Ferrer, director of high -tech Pentagon

think tank, kills Neal Ferrer to protect his

son's reputation. Oh, boy. This feels very Bobby

Fischer to me. Okay. And I know Bobby Fischer

happened way after this. I think. I think it

did. I'm surprised you didn't say that in the

chess episode. Okay, but the robot, because the

robot is doing stuff in this episode, that's

why specifically. Oh, playing against Deep Blue?

Yeah. Your references are hurting my brain. Yes.

The whole thing is that the kid, I don't remember

anybody's name. And I remember Jose Ferrer because

he's Mel Ferrer's dad. But the dad is a brilliant

scientist who works at this think tank, and they

plot out World War III on a daily basis. Sounds

like fun. And his son is not as smart, and he

was working with this other scientist who came

up with this brilliant theory but then never

published it and died shortly thereafter. So

the son plagiarizes the theory and gets Scientist

of the Year Award or something like that. And

then it turns out that he's seeing a therapist

who's kind of an attractive young woman or attractive

woman who is married to another scientist at

the facility who's played by the guy whose name

I didn't recognize and got confused. And so she

tells her husband about the plagiarism, which

actually is a violation of confidentiality. We

won't worry about that. And he confronts the

dad. He says, your son did not earn that award.

He plagiarized it and I looked into it. So the

dad comes up with a scheme to kill the older

guy because the doctor can't testify. She can't

testify against her client. Because of doctor

-patient confidentiality. Yeah, that's got some

weird loopholes and boundaries. It's complicated.

But point being... So at the Institute, because

even though they war game World War III, there's

other stuff they do. There's a kid genius named

Steven Spielberg. That was so stupid. Steven

Spielberg, but they pronounce it like weird.

Yeah, it was so stupid. Who basically has pre

-created, because Forbidden Planet, of course,

takes place in the future, Robbie the Robot during

his Davros phase. Because he doesn't have legs.

He's rolling around on a little wheelchair thing.

It's Robbie the freaking robot. Yep. And Robbie

can do whatever the kid programs him to do. And

the father, Jose Ferrer, also knows how to program

the robot. He programs the... Okay. He programs

the robot to run the war game simulation that

Jose Ferrer is supposed to be running at night.

And he goes out and he hits the scientist guy

with his car, kills him, and carries him back

into the house. Make it look like a, I don't

know, a hit and run inside the house? Well, yeah,

that was the weird part. This part I got fuzzy

on. I must not have been paying attention. Yeah,

that was the weird part. It was like he ran him

down, put him back in the house. This whole episode

was strange. You want to talk about a criminal

who really want to get caught. This is a guy

who wanted to get caught because like everything

he did seem to be the, in the book, I'm going

to be a criminal for nominees kind of, but like,

you know, how to be a criminal. I mean, to be

fair, he's not a criminal. He's a, okay. He is,

but like, that's, that's not his profession.

Like, right. But I'm saying like, He does all

this. You know, we talked about in the last episode

how the Jack Cassidy of Greenleaf. Yeah, he basically

dares him to. Yeah, exactly. And everything else.

Where this guy is like, huh, I'm going to do

all this stuff. I'm going to. remember to do

this, but I'm going to forget to do this. I'm

going to remember to check this, but I'm going

to... He completely leaves the car with the front

end damage from hitting the guy. He does a thing

later where he backs into that car. He uses another

car from the Institute, so he does a thing later

where he pulls out his car and backs into it.

He works for that. Yeah, I don't know. And to

be fair, he did not anticipate that Columbo would

ever find out about Spellberg and the robot.

Because they weren't in any way related per se

to the crime. I don't remember how Columbo ends

up with the kid. Columbo ends up with the kid

because he goes in and he has a question for

the kid. He wants to... Because part of the alibi

or part of the situation is that he gets this

other guy to lead the Institute who's the mechanic,

which is how he gets access to the cars. The

mechanic to lead for the night because he takes

Stephen, who's a kid, to the movies because Stephen

never gets to go to the movies because he's a

genius kid who nobody treats like a kid. So that

was the whole thing is he wanted to establish

the alibi of the mechanic, the pool guy, carpool

guy. And then Steven mentions that he's got a

robot. He doesn't actually mention it's a robot

until it comes out and almost murders Columbo,

but it does almost murder that dog. I got real

uncomfortable. There's a funny thing about Columbo's

dog needs attention and affection. He leaves

the dog with the kid and the robot is walking

the dog, but the leash is too short. You're lucky

PETA wasn't a thing back then. And I'm sorry

to say this, but that dog, oh my god. Again,

tell me you've never owned a basset hound without

telling me you've never owned a basset hound.

Those things are needy. I understand. My aunt

and uncle and cousins had a bunch of basset hounds,

and I know they are needy, but man, the... barking

on that dog in this episode when he was in the

car. I'm just going to be right here. I'm going

to talk to this man for a little while. Excuse

me. Can you help me? Can you help me? I'm only

allowed to work on Institute cars. Oh, I don't

want you to work on my car. She's running beautiful.

I'm Lieutenant Colombo. I'm from the LAPD. Oh,

you investigating the Nicholson murder? Did you

know Professor Nicholson? Just to say hello to.

He kept pretty much to himself. Are you in charge

of all these cars here? Yeah, we're testing them.

They've all been converted to natural gas as

part of an environmental experiment. Does everybody

at the Institute drive these cars? Yeah, that's

right. I'm not going anywhere. Uh, what happened

to this one? Oh, just a little front end damage.

I rolled out the dents. Give me a break, would

you please? Boy, that talks. There were people

and they weren't talking to him. What got me

was he wasn't house -trained after a year. Because

this is season three, and he got in the first

episode of season two. Yeah, exactly. I know

you're a homicide detective, Columbo. I know

you don't have a lot of time to do stuff, but

come on. We've already established that he's

got at least one kid and a wife. They could step

up. Taking the dog out to pee isn't a male responsibility,

even back in the day. Yeah, I know. And to be

fair, assets are allegedly very difficult to

house train. I think that very quickly. Supposedly,

they're one of the breeds that's very difficult

to house train. A year? Columbo's part of the

episode opens with him at a school. And the headmaster's

telling them, we're going to have to expel them.

They're not learning. And you think his kid's

getting kicked out of school. And, of course,

it turns out to be the dog. It's the dog. Favorite

line. I'm sorry, but the favorite line is, his

dog is demoralizing the other students. Demoralizing

the others. Great line. Oh, damn dog. This is

the one where Columbo says at the end, I knew

it was you within the first three minutes. The

whole thing is the murder victim had a pipe which

got crushed by the car. And he had a pipe for

every day. It's one of those weird things. I

haven't known a lot of people who smoke pipes,

but I don't remember them having a pipe for every

day. And then the wife doesn't smoke. And whoever

had killed him had lit up a cigar. So he was

looking for a cigar smoker. Because you could

tell by the match. When you light up a cigar,

you use the match for much longer than you do

for a cigarette. Yep, yep, yep. Absolutely. Oh,

yeah. Oh, no. We can't talk about the Cubans.

Oh, no. You can't. It's illegal. To this day,

Cuban cigars are illegal, I believe. Yep. Absolutely.

And when he offers them to Columbo, Is it one

or two in there? Is it just one? I know Columbo

just takes one, but it looks like there's more.

I think he just offers one. And then at the end,

Columbo gives it back to him. Yep. Yep. Absolutely.

This one was... This one had a lot of misdirection

in it, I would say. Even though, and this is

one that actually has Columbo's, I think this

has him saying it isn't, it wasn't who did it.

It's how he did it. Yeah. Which is usually what

we say. It's not, you know, like it's a how.

He said the quiet part out loud. Yeah. This is

the one where he's using his tape recorder in

this instead of his notepad. I mean, he's using

his notepad, too, but he's losing his notepad

half the time. He always loses his notepad. He

always loses his pencil. Yeah. This thing is

combo. So I thought it was cool that he was using

a tape recorder. I thought that was interesting.

What's his name? Not Nicholson. The young guy.

The kids, not the... The son? Yes, what's the

son's name? I have no idea, I just call him the

son. Yeah, the young guy with the hair, with

the tall, whatever. Yeah, the son. Yeah, the

plagiarist. Like, kind of reminds me of the other

guy. The guy that lost it on the tram. Scotty

McDowell? Yeah, a little bit. Not because of

how he sounds or how he looks or anything, but

just how he acts. Like, it wasn't me. I didn't

do it. Why are you framing me? Like, just that

kind of character. Okay, I've been waiting to

get to that part because this one is interesting

because at the end, Columbo literally forces

a confession out of the dad. He admits he frames

the son for the murder. Yes, he does, yes. And

the son gets dragged off in chains, but you're

always like, well, you ever see him get arrested

and dragged off in chains? He gets dragged off,

and the father actually hesitates for a minute.

He's actually thinking about, do I let my son

go down, or do I, you know? He does eventually

very quickly confess. Yes. which has a great

line, you're a strange man, I didn't know how

it was going to go. How do you feel about that?

I've seen it done this way in plenty of police

procedurals in the future. What I mean by that

is 1980 forward kind of thing where plots have

done this thing of let's, you know, try to scam

the actual criminal. I've seen them put pressure

on another person. I've seen them arrest another

person. Or maybe I have. I don't... Yeah, I've

seen them... It's to put pressure on the person

that they really want to arrest. It's like...

okay, so if you're not going to confess, then

we have evidence that implicates your son, so

we are going to arrest him. And blah, blah, blah.

The whole thing is like, oh, it's not even about

the plagiarism. You were having an affair with

the other guy's wife. Here is this hotel manager,

and that is all bull crap. Yep, it's all bull

crap. So, again, We're in 2025 and this was 1974.

Right. Morals have changed. Yes. Particularly

when it comes to police and how they're supposed

to operate. Yes. Yes, they have. I think an audience

in 74 would have been less bothered. Particularly

by the fact that he brought out a fake witness.

To just completely concoct a lie. Because it

would never have held up in court. No, and that's

not... But see, here's the thing why with me,

it didn't bother me because it's not supposed

to. It's not... The fact that they brought out

a fake... It's essentially a full lie to the...

What's it? What's his stupid name? Yeah. To Cahill.

It's Cahill Sr. To the father, it's a full lie

to him. It is a full on charade for him to eventually

confess. It's putting his son in danger of being

arrested for a crime that the son didn't commit,

that the father committed. The police arrested.

Yeah, okay, yes, but Columbo literally says,

well, we'll get him out after the confession,

we'll get him out within an hour. Within an hour!

Yeah, exactly. But it's one of those things where

I've heard stories from actual police officers

that say there is nothing against a police officer

lying to a suspect. I've heard that too. There's

nothing against the rules of the police department

saying that a police officer cannot lie to a

suspect to get a confession. This was a little

overboard on that. I agree with that. But this

is fiction. Yeah, but it's extreme. Posey mysteries.

But you've got police malfeasance. And it's not

just any cop doing it. It's not like Jerry Orbach

in Law and Order, originally established as being

a little bit shady. It's Columbo. It's lovable

Columbo arresting and booking the wrong guy on

faked evidence. I mean, it's one thing, yeah,

if you're in the, like, because one of my favorite

TV shows is Homicide. And there's a fantastic

episode where, like, a documentarian is filming

everybody. And Andre Brauer gives this great

speech about how the box is his place and all

the stuff that he can do whatever he wants in

the box. He'll sell you something you don't need,

which is a lifetime in prison. And yeah, okay,

if you're in the box and you're telling him,

okay, this guy, if you've got two suspects and

you go in the box and you say, this guy talked,

he ragged you out. Okay, yeah, you're lying.

You arrest a guy and take him downtown and it'll

be an hour before he's a free man again. Based

on... It's not just your lying. You've hired

a guy. You brought in a guy to lie. Like... I

don't know. I am uncomfortable with my beloved

goofy trench coat wearing Basset Hound love in...

I... It's a little too far in the gray area for

me. Because it's Columbo. Not because it's a

policeman. Right, right, right. But because it

is Columbo. Because it is Columbo, yeah. Han

shooting Greedo under the table, I can accept.

Because obviously, even though the threat was

legit and imminent, Greedo says, I'm going to

kill you. And you don't need to have him shoot.

It's clear that Greedo's... But if Han just walked

up to a guy in the middle of nowhere and shot

him in the back of the head, that would be a

different vibe. I think... Maybe it's that I

have different rules for different characters

in different situations, but it bothers me a

little that he did that. I think it doesn't bother

me because of the way that He had to catch this

criminal. And like he said, even though an hour

is a long time, but he is going to do the right

thing. He is going to release the son because

he, he already knew that the son didn't do it.

Obviously it was just, you, it's kind of like

how you have to. Like breaking a few eggs. Is

that what you're saying? No, I didn't want to

say that, but. Yeah, a little bit. But other

shows will do the thing of. But my point is there

are other shows, there are other characters.

Like I said, Barry Orbach in On Order is sketchy.

Like the very first episode, he's sketchy, and

then they never went back to that. I understand

that. But Columbo had to be this sketchy for

this character. Do I think he is this sketchy

going forward? No. Do I think he's still the

lovable detective that we know and love? Absolutely.

I don't think this one case has changed him completely.

Like, it's not an end -all be -all for me for

this. I think because of the way that the way

the criminal was, how he had to do it to catch

him. You couldn't just put this guy in a room

and have him sweated out. You had to threaten

him with putting his son in jail. I get what

you're saying. To me, it's more like, but he

didn't threaten. The threat went a little further

than I'm comfortable with. If he'd been having

a conversation with the dad and said, your son

was probably having an affair. I talked to a

guy at the hotel. We're going to arrest him.

Then the dad says, okay, I can't take that risk.

That's one thing. Have cops haul him off? Again,

It's not necessarily the hour itself intrinsically

that I have an issue with. It's the fact that

that implies that he was booked. He was put in

jail. He went through the system based on a lie.

That was a little too far, in my opinion. But

I think when Columbo says that he'll be released

within the hour, I think that also means that...

all charges will be dropped or all charges will

be erased. Oh, yeah. I would assume. I would

hope. And again, like, you know, the dad probably,

honestly, if the dad was a little smarter for

being a genius, he would have known that his

son, well, first of all, he knows for a fact

his son didn't do it. I think he might have believed

the affair thing, actually, even though that

would probably fabricate it, too. But it's just

like, Well, he says, I can't take the risk. You're

a strange man. Look, man. I like Dirty Harry

as much as the next guy. But Columbo's not Dirty

Harry. I get it. Columbo's not Dirty Harry. I

understand. I don't want Jessica Fletcher planting

evidence to catch the bad guys. I mean, I get

a little twitchy. And yeah, I think this is the

only time in the whole run that something like

this happens. So, you know. It is what it is.

And he even mentions, like, there's an earlier

line about the robot that you can't sweat him

out under the lights, you can't take him behind

in the back room and beat him with a rubber hose.

I mean, the police behavior was... Things were

more acceptable in the 70s than they are now.

Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy, folks. It's just so crazy.

It... It really, really is. It's just one of

those things. Anything else on this episode,

Mind Over Mayhem? I think this one we almost

got a full one more thing, sir, one more thing,

but it wasn't quite that. Yeah, it wasn't quite

that. It was a prototypical one. Yep. What are

you going to rate this one? I mean, there's a

lot of fun stuff for me, like Robbie the Robot

and a random character named Steven Spielberg.

And the dog's in it a lot. I'm going to give

it a 3 .5, because the more I focus on the ending,

the more it bothers me. It's a good episode.

There's a lot of fun stuff. I like how he figured

it out. I just don't like how he got to get the

confession at the end. Okay. Yeah, I'm right

there with you. 3 .5. So, absolutely, absolutely.

Uh, folks, before we send it to a quick podcast

the Mike Seibert Radio podcast, your favorite

Transformers adjacent podcast. And I've got 60

seconds to tell you all about my show. Good thing

I've got a catchy theme song to do most of the

work for me. I also talk about the Transformers

the movie about as much as I talk about Boba

Fett. My guests are independent artists who tell

their stories and give terrific advice about

pursuing your creative interests, and I encourage

you to do the same thing, even if I can't take

my own advice. Gravity is not my first best strength,

but you can subscribe to Mike Seibert Radio on

most podcast apps so you never miss an episode.

Make good choices. Do you know John Hyatt songs?

Maybe you know them from being covered by Roseanne

Cash, Three Dog Night, The Neville Brothers,

Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, B .B. King, Jeff

Healy, Bonnie Raitt, or literally hundreds of

others. Maybe you have some of his albums on

your shelf or in your cow horned Cadillac right

now. I'm Jesse Jackson. And I'm Sylvan Groff.

And we're going to dive in from A to Z. Join

us on the Perfectly Good Podcast. We're going

to discuss all of your favorites and uncover

some forgotten gems from aces up your sleeve

to zero house. Rate and debate every John Hyatt

song on the Perfectly Good Podcast. Have a little

faith. Hi, I'm Dan, and I'm the host of the Rock

We talk TV. We talk. Hello, Julie, what the heck

are you doing? Trying to make our spot sound

more exciting by adding explosions. Yeah, I'm

pretty sure you could have got the point across

with sound effects, not the real thing. Car,

car. Download the show on iTunes or at simplisticreviews

.blogspot .com. I'm sure your insurance company

will cover that. No, they won't. No, they probably

won't. What are you going to do, Julie? I gotta

talk to my wife. When a case gets too tough,

I gotta talk to my wife. Is she a policewoman?

No. Actually, she doesn't talk about the case.

She talks about everything else. It takes my

mind off it. Oh, so you're fresh when you come

back. Something like that. Are you coming back?

Alright, folks, we are back here inside Studio

2009, episode 175. The one thing I didn't bring

up, which I absolutely love, he doesn't look

like a police dog. He isn't. He's a policeman's

dog. There's a difference. There is a difference.

Absolutely. Anything you'd like to say before

I run through the closing, sir? No, it's a good

episode. It's a fun episode. I would love the

backstory of why Robbie the Robot doesn't have

legs. But other than that, I'm good. I'm not

sure I want to know. That's just weird. Maybe

they cost too much. Who knows? He had legs in

Gremlins. He had legs in Gremlins? I don't know

if he did or not. I know he's in Gremlins. You

know who Robbie the Robot is. Please don't make

me explain who he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

and Mike with Dave Draper. You'll hear us back

in the studio soon. Excuse me. Just one more

thing. Dude, I would this is the only thing I

would be more excited to do than a fucking Columbo.

I love this show. You know, there's a, there's

an episode with a, what's his name? Robin Williams.

Oh, really? Yeah. Cool. He's friends with Barry.

Barry Levinson was a producer. I can't remember.

No more. We have to stop. Yeah, I mean, I'm down.

It's fine. This thing got eclipsed because, like,

then they went on, the same people went on when

they did Oz, and then they did The Wire, which

everybody remembers. They're like, yeah, this

is, hell yeah. One of the things you need. We're

closed. Where's the wedding ring? You got to

check with the cops. Well, it was a gold wedding

ring. It looked like this. We had to make together.

All personal effects and clothes of the victim

were taken. No one told me this. You should have

been told. No one tells me anything. They don't

tell me anything. Where's your ring? My wife's

wedding ring. Oh, a personal car. He was taking

his evidence. Her ring is safe. Oh. Now, who

gave you permission to take her clothes? She's

lying down there in that damn room with no clothes.

You don't know Catherine. She's very unpopular,

and she wasn't very much at ease with her body.

I don't understand how you feel. You know, you've

got her lying down there in that damn morgue.

In a plastic bag with no clothes. Now, I want

her out of the plastic bag. I want her clothes

back. And I want you to have someone there to

protect her. You keep leaving it there alone.

Excuse me, Mr. Ellison. Who I first heard of

once my little ass was Edo. Was he... He's Giardello's

son. Very cool, very cool. God damn it. Got me

all excited again, you fucker. What? We're going

to do it. I just have to buy the thing. Yeah,

but I'm excited now. Sorry. I got something to

live for, you fuck. You have no idea. You lose

the fuck out of me. This is one of my top favorite

TV shows of all time. I've never had anyone to

talk to about it. Hey, cool. I think trying to

talk to Jason about homicide goes over. Unless

you're going to tell him. At least you're going

to tell him how you're going to kill him. Now,

was there another Gordon Pratt in your class?

You flunked math? You never got a diploma? Yeah,

this is funny. You never even graduated. I had

nothing left to learn. What's this? It's Greek

to me. It is. It's in the original Greek. Is

that right? Yeah. Read me something out of this.

You wouldn't understand it anyway. No, just a

small passage. I've never heard the lovely original

Greek spoken before. I might hear it. You can't,

can you? Would you like me to translate? Roughly,

he's talking about how the individual is corrupted

by his company. Let me show you what the Jesuits

taught me. What I say is right or just means

nothing but what is of interest to the stronger

party. You're a fake. You're a fake. You shot

those cops, then you're good. I'm just going

to put that there. We are going to... What are

we going to do? Figure out where they put that,

because I don't like that. I hate how when you

go to add something that you're looking to buy

on Google Chrome now, oh, we're going to add

it to your shopping list. Don't make a separate

shopping list tab for me. That's not what I want

in my favorites. Let me do it the way I want

to do it. We're being helpful. No, you're really

not. You humans don't know what's good for you.

Trust Google. Obey Google. Love Google. Obedience

is love.
