Candice : "I can't even see what's going on." Robby : "Would it matter if you could?" Candice : "Yes. It would make me feel better." Robby : "Yeah, okay but would it matter? I mean would we move any faster if you knew why we were stopped?" Candice : "Cut your philosophical fascism and listen to me! It matters, okay. If I know what the hell is going on then I feel better about it, alright?" Robby : "I suppose you wouldn't prefer democratically elected philosophy any more that the Hitlerean variety?" Candice : "That's rich, Robby." Robby : "Because when I say something matters, what does it mean to you?" Candice : "Like whether it gets at my emotions or my watch, is that what you're poking at?" Robby : "Sure." Candice : "What do you mean, sure? Are you just randomly poking?" Robby: : "Most times." Candice : "Oh look! We're moving again!"
