I wish I could meet a Christian who would proselytize to me, but they keep running away from me. I wanna talk to you all.
Marijuana grows naturally...Don't you think making nature against the law seems a bit, I don't know, unnatural?
Mushrooms grow on cow turds. I love that. I think that's why you giggle the first hour.
Oh--won't we party hard when L.A. goes kersplash?...L.A. fell in the ocean?... There is a God. He loves us all so much.
It's you people dying from nothing that are screwed. I got all sorts of neat gadgets waiting for me...oxygen tent, iron lung.
What do you say we lighten things up and talk about abortion?...
What's gonna happen to the arms industry when we realize we're all One?...You can see why the government's cracking down.

We are one with God and He loves us. Now if that isn't a hazard to this country-How're we gonna keep building nuclear weapons?

See we just had a misunderstanding. I thought we lived in the U.S. of A., the United States of America. But actually we live in the U.S. of A., the United States of Advertising. Freedom of expression is guaranteed? If you've got the money!
Okay, I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?
