I Hate Huckabees

"Hobbes said, 'the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short,'" Duke said.

"First of all, where did you go to school? Harvard? Or is that code word classified?"

Duke nodded. His evasiveness was beginning to grate on Aislin's nerves.

"You don't actually believe the crap movies Hollywood is making, which involve condensing great thinkers and whole schools of philosophy down into sound bites. Better yet, they animate it. Films geared to make you feel like post-modernism and deconstruction are your orginal thoughts. Futhermore, screw Hobbes. He was a negative bastard that just wanted to make everyone feel bad so he could step on them." Aislin was getting animated herself and nearly knocked Duke's pint glass onto the floor.

"I thought you went to art school."

"Honey, I had every major in college. I would spend about a year in a major, take all the good classes and change to something else. I'd take the theory classes first and then get bored in the practical classes."
