Sandy Bates: You guys gotta tell me, why is there so much human suffering?
Space Alien: This is unanswerable.
Sandy Bates: Is there a God?
Space Alien: These are the wrong questions.
Sandy Bates: Look, here’s my point, if nothing lasts why am I bothering to make films or do anything, for that matter?
Space Alien: We enjoy your films, particularly the early, funny ones.
Sandy Bates: But the human condition is so discouraging.
Space Alien: There are some nice moments, too.
