Kakarating ko pa lang sa South Harbor, nakipag-away na ako. Inagaw at itinago ng mga ahente ng taxi services ang mga daladala ko, salamat sa mga mukhang pera ring security guards ng PPA. Akala nila, turista ako na pwede nilang malinlang na magbayad ng P400 para umuwi sa Quezon City. Wala akong nagawa kundi magalit at sumigaw. Sayang, nakatago ang aking makalawang na kutsilyo.
Pinasaya ako ng aking kaibigan na nagpadala nito, hango sa Time Bandits:
Evil One: When I have the map, I will be free. And the world will be different, because I shall have understanding.
Servant: Understanding of what, Master?
Evil One: Digital watches. And soon I shall have understanding of video-cassette recorders and car telephones. And when I have understanding of them, I shall have understanding of computers. And when I have understanding of computers, I shall be the Supreme Being! God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty-three species of parrot! Nipples for men!
Servant: Slugs!
Evil One: Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic?
