- Malcolm: [Malcolm is seriously infatuated with the shaman, so he participates in her re-birthing ceremony despite his original cynicism] It's amazing! I actually feel like I've been re-born. It feels fantastic. And it's all thanks to you.
- Anita: Oh, Malcolm. We can never see each other again.
- Malcolm: [crushed] What?
- Anita: This can never work. You're just way too malleable. A condescending cynic I can deal with, but this... I don't want you doing things just because I want you to do them.
- Malcolm: [desperate] Th- th- then I won't. If that's what you want. Crap.
- Nate: Hey, you guys, y'want a little Stanley?
- [he sprays several people with a Super Squirter]
- Reese: What's Stanley?
- Nate: Ahh, Stanley was a buddy of mine. We been comin' to Burning Man together almost 20 years.
- [he sprays another passer-by]
- Nate: Anyway, he passed on over the Winter, and he always said he wanted his ashes scattered here, kind of as a way of spreading the spirit of Burning Man to the people and the family he loved.
- [more spraying]
- Reese: And you're allowed to do that? Spray a dead guy on people? I got suspended for a week for putting a mouse's head on the end of my pencil.
- Nate: Burning Man's all about freedom, Dude. You can do whatever you want here.
- Reese: [incredulous, he starts pointing at possible examples] Whatever I want! You mean, I could kick this over, or break that?
- Nate: Well, I guess if you really felt you had to.
- Reese: Doesn't that kind of take the fun out of mindless destruction?
- Nate: That's what the flaming catapult's for!
- [they watch it streak across the sky]
