You&#8217;ll only be asked to return if the disc is damaged. If you don&#8217;t like the movie, as long as there are no scratches in the disc and you have enough guts to be abusive&#8230; you can even ask for a replacement (I told you i was lucky).  No questions asked.  (Of course you&#8217;re three-digit IQ already knows what i&#8217;m referring here&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230; one of yesterday&#8217;s loot was <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/title\/tt0272152\/\" target=\"_blank\">K-PAX<\/a>.  And&#8230; it was good.  Good enough that i did scribbled on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jgsoft.com\" target=\"_blank\">EditPad<\/a> some of the dialogue in that movie.  <\/p>\n<p><b>ON REPRODUCTION<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Doctor<\/b>: K-Paxians have babies, right?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:  Oh, yes, much like on Earth, but unlike you humans, the reproductive process is quite unpleasant for us.  It&#8217;s more like having your nuts in a vise except we feel it all over.  And to make matters worse, the sensation is associated with something like your nausea, accompanied by a very bad smell.  The moment of climax is like being kicked in the stomach, and then falling into a pool of mod droppings.<br \/>\n<b>Doctor<\/b>: Mod droppings?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:A mod is a being much like your skunk, only far more potent.<br \/>\n<b>Doctor<\/b>: Uh, if it&#8217;s such a terrible experience, uh how do you reproduce?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:  As carefully as possible.<\/p>\n<p><b>ON POLICIES<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Doctor<\/b>: What about societal structure?  Government..?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:  No, there&#8217;s no need for one.<br \/>\n<b>Doctor<\/b>:You have no laws?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>: No laws. No lawyers. (Microsoft won&#8217;t exists on their planet)<br \/>\n<b>Doctor<\/b>:How do you know right from wrong?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.<br \/>\n<b>Doctor<\/b>:But what if someone did do something wrong&#8211; how would you punish them?<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:Let me tell you something Mark.  You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of &#8216;an eye for an eye, a life for a life,&#8217; which is known throughout the universe&#8230; for its stupidity.  Even your Buddha and your Christ had quite a different vision, but nobody&#8217;s paid much attention to them, not even Buddhists or the Christians.<br \/>\n<b>Prot<\/b>:You humans, sometimes it&#8217;s hard to imagine how you&#8217;ve made it this far.<\/p>\n<p>\nDo watch if you have some time.
