Existentialism yarn. Happy Halloween, all

AMLAN: This is a good roadways line for a continent expression of omens.

MARCUS: Since 9/11, the world thinks more about NYC than Pearl Harbor.

AMLAN: As your co-rider on this road-trip for existential adjective, I concur!

MARCUS: Well, there's plenty of image on the roads for the fiction of Earthling.

AMLAN: Ha, Martians envy Americans, surely (Facebook-like).

AMLAN: Nice auto.

MARCUS: I borrowed it.

AMLAN: Ever think that World Wars are simply zits?

MARCUS: What's the eternal cure?

AMLAN: Chapstick.

MARCUS: That's the stick of it for 9/11 image, pal...incomplete arts.

AMLAN: Art gets us through.

MARCUS: Lucky to just let yourself feel lucky, no?

AMLAN: Nice auto.

MARCUS: No existential road IQ is complete without the right-stuff car.

AMLAN: Facebook-like!

AMLAN: I used to read war comics as a youngster.

MARCUS: I never thought I'd become a fast-food junkie (American).

AMLAN: We're both ethnic-Americans, both citizens post-immigration, so it's IQ.

MARCUS: America's adaptations.

AMLAN: Americans like to pick up hitch-hikers, yeah?

MARCUS: Well, it's an explorations thing, something integral to American brain.

AMLAN: Pick up a psycho and you think of some sci-fi/horror tale, yeah?

MARCUS: Well, that black-smoke on TV on 9/11 was like a Martian invasion.

AMLAN: The Devil would concur, pal.

MARCUS: So, you find Catholicism gorgeous.

AMLAN: You remain a 'cool' atheist, Marcus (sure).

MARCUS: Maybe the best medicine for America is diner-TV on a Sunday AM.

AMLAN: Memoirs of resilience...transcendence of Hell.

MARCUS: You need not be atheist to be existential (or competitive!).

AMLAN: I think that's at least 3/4 true (for the Ego).

WAITRESS: What'll it be, gents?

AMLAN/MARCUS: Chicken pot pie and root-beer, lady!

WAITRESS: Are you guys like frat-brothers or something?

AMLAN/MARCUS: Maybe...maybe we're both in love (with you!).

WAITRESS: Interesting...my sister's a cheerleader, gents.

AMLAN/MARCUS: That's a drive-in examination promise (surely!).

WAITRESS: There's something rotten in America these days.

AMLAN/MARCUS: Chicken run.
