(♪ "STARLESS" BY KING CRIMSON)
RONALD REAGAN: There's a great spiritual awakening in America.
A renewal of the traditional values
that have been the bedrock of America's goodness and greatness.
An overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of pornography, abortion...

How was your day?
It was pretty cool.
I was reading that book about the galaxy.
That big, thick one?
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, it's pretty awesome.
What's your favorite planet?
(SIGHS) Jupiter. Yeah. No doubt.
Jupiter. How come?
Hmm...
Well, because the surface of its atmosphere is a storm
that's been raging for, like, a thousand years.
And the eye of the hurricane is so huge
that it could just swallow the whole Earth.
Yeah, that's why it's my favorite planet.
- That's wild. - Hmm.
What's yours?
(INHALES) Um...
- Saturn, probably. - Yeah?
Saturn's pretty cool.
That was one of the first ones that we discovered.
Humans discovered.
So there's, like, a lot of cool ancient myths about it and stuff.
I changed my mind.
- What? - I like Galactus.
- Galactus isn't a planet. - Yeah, but he eats planets.

Hey, are you awake?

You were having a bad dream.
Uh-huh.
What was it about?
I can't remember.
Sometimes I wonder if we should move away from this place.
- Where? - I don't know.
Oh.
I like it here.
It's peaceful here, Red.
This is like our little... This is our little home.
Did I ever tell you about the starlings when I was a little kid?
No, I don't think so.
In the neighborhood where I grew up, there were all these starlings,
flying around in the trees, playing and chirping. They were so cute.
But my dad...
he just hated 'em.
They were always eating cherries from the cherry tree.
Anyway, one day...
One day, me and a bunch of kids from the neighborhood
were playing in this empty lot.
And...
my dad came walking across with a pillow case...
and a crowbar.
(EERIE SYNTH MUSIC)
And there was something moving around inside of the pillow case,
like, squirming around.
And he said we should gather round.
He had something to show us. And so we all gathered round.
And he emptied what was in the pillow case on the ground.
And it was a...
It was a bunch of baby starlings.
And he told us that he was gonna show us how to kill 'em.
And he lifted the crowbar up real high.
And then...
brought it down real hard on the little baby bird.
So hard that it pushed it into the ground.
It was so deep in there, like a little grave, you know?
And then he gave the crowbar to one of the kids and then...
each kid took a turn in...
killing a starling.
What did you do?
I, um...
just watched, and then, when it was my turn, I just ran away.
Oh, baby.

MANDY: "Under the crimson, primordial sky,
surrounded by the jagged rocks
of the ancient volcanic mountain,
the wretched Warlock reached into the dark embrace of the fissure
until his hand touched a smooth glassy surface.
(SINISTER VOICE FADES IN) Cold as ice.
His fist closed around The Serpent's Eye.
Slowly he withdrew it and held it before him
in the fading light of the blood-red suns.
It glowed from within.
A ghostly emerald light.
Strange and Eternal."

I'm so sorry, Jeremiah.
Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?
There is nothing you can do.
It's her.
I feel naked without her.
Naked.
- Do you hear me? - (INHALES) I...
I...
- I said, "Do you hear me?" - Yes, Jeremiah, I hear you.
"Yes, Jeremiah, I hear you." Really?
Because sometimes I don't think you hear anything at all.
And I am truly worried about that.
If you are not with me, you will not ascend.
- WOMAN: Jeremiah, I... - Ple-e-e-e-e-ease!
Just be quiet. And go fetch me Brother Swan.
- OK. - I said go fetch me Brother Swan!
There you are.
What can I do for you, Jeremiah?
I need you to get me that girl I saw.
I need her.
I need her now.
Jeremiah, consider it done.
Do you have the Horn of Abraxas?
(UNZIPPING)
- (WHISPERS) Do you know what to do? - I do.
- Hey. - (SLURPING)
JEREMIAH: Why don't we offer up the porker too?
(VOICES ON TV)
Just to seal the deal.
That is such a good idea.
That lard-ass.
He couldn't find his nose in a mirror.

Look at me.

Tell me.
What do you see?
I see the reaper fast approaching.
Well, I recognized you. So...
I think in time...
you will recognize me.
You know, all He wants...
is for His children to love one another.
Now, I find that...
He allows me to express that love
in many ways.
But...
one of those ways...
is music.
Do you like The Carpenters?

♪ Only one sun ever shines
♪ Only one son, yours and mine
♪ Jeremiah Sand was a righteous man
You know, I was ready to stand tall with the great, grand, glittering ones.
But those scumbags couldn't recognize a golden radiant light
even as it was cast right down upon them.
But, thankfully...
thankfully, He showed me another path.
The path I had always been truly destined for.
Something far greater
than mere fame or fortune.
(SONG CONTINUES)
- (SONG SLOWLY FADES OUT) - When I was at the bottom of the pit...
screaming in the darkness...
racked with unspeakable pain...
for having been denied all that was rightfully mine...
He graced me with His light.
His hot, loving light.
It flowed over me like the pulse of a timeless wave.
A wave of pure heat.
A mainline...
of pure and total acceptance.
And He talked to me.
Addressed me as a friend.
He said, "Jeremiah,
they were wrong.
And you are right.
So right."
And He blessed me with His holy kiss.
He said, "You are not separate
from all that is,
so all that is...
is yours."
And He gave me His deepest and warmest permission
to go out into this world
and take what is so very much mine.
All of it. Mine.
My wants. My needs.
My pleasures.
(SONG FADES BACK IN)
(VOICE ECHOES) You know...
I've been blessed to know the comfort of many women.
But there are few that have had your radiance.

so very special together.

Leaving truckers for dead, prostitutes vanishing.
And gutted bodies on doorsteps.
And always the same...
Biker gang.
Black bikes.
Only seen at night.
Weird shit.
There are stories that there was a chapter
that ran courier for a manufacturer of LSD.
He took a disliking to them
and cooked them up a special batch.
And they have never been right in the head since.
I've seen them once. From a distance.
What you're hunting is rabid animals.
And you should go in knowing...
that your odds ain't that good and you will probably die.
Don't be negative.
Last I heard on the CB, they were spotted down near Spirit River.
