DAMN, JESUS

God: So…you feel physically aroused? In church. By Jesus?

Elon Musk: May, I say something?

God: Yes.

Elon Musk: Good.

I’ll be the first to say, I know Lem could have been sexually confused. I’ve been an adult long enough to understand. And I find it intellectually demoralizing and deplorable how people refuse to accept the truth.

He’s….very possibly straight. And very possibly always was.

And I see an obvious parallel with…this.

God: Yes.

You’re right.

He was heterosexual. I’m sorry. And he was secretly a miserable man.

Listen to “Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2 “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven, as performed by Wilhelm Backhaus.

Jim: Well, I’m not a Nazi. But…there were some fine Christian, German young men. Who unfortunately fought for Hitler.

Lacey…are you sure Lem is…that great? Surely, there must be some fighter pilots? In Germany?

Elliott Roosevelt: There were.

Are you aware that Tom Banks has claimed her as his daughter?

Jim: No.

Elliott: Well, that’s part of reality. And I’m not sure why you don’t see that…

It’s odd.

You knew him. Doesn’t she seem like him?

Jim: FUCK THAT.

Elliott: You can’t say that. Not in that way.

I’m sorry.

She is his daughter. And he loves her very much.

Do you?

Jim: *rolls his eyes*

Elliott: Jim, he does.

He loves her. She’s his daughter.

And yes, there are. But they aren’t me.

I’m…real. …So is Lem.

So were the Kennedys.

They haunted your daughter. Her entire childhood.

Jim: Why would they do that!??

Elliott: Because…Lem wasn’t gay.

And, after they died, they heard the truth about him.

And they simply couldn’t handle it.

*he shrugs*

Jim: Okay.

But why you?

Elliott: Because…I-

I was there.

I experienced….her world. The one she was supposed to be living in.

Please don’t be hurt by that.

Do you understand?

Jim: Did Becca love her? I always thought she did.

Eleanor Roosevelt: There’s time to answer that. But, not here. Not now.

Jim: *fumes*

Elliott: I’m not perfect. But…I understand her. Better than you think.

So does Lem. I’m sorry.

Caroline: I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t have fallen in love with me. If he was straight.

I mean, I know none of this is real anyway. But…-

Bobby: Because he wasn’t.

He was gay.

Lem- KIRK LEMOYNE BILLINGS…WAS GAY.

A man in America: Are you going to take him back to China? When you marry him?

After you die.

Bobby: *laughs*

YES.

Probably.

I don’t know…

Caroline: Ha.

He’ll probably turn out to be in love with me.

*she laughs, like she’s empathetically embarrassed for him*

Oh well, I guess.

Jonah: You were never that pretty.

Are you insane? Like your dad?

Caroline: My dumb daughter, Tatiana, would have said that. Before she died. Yes.

Everything was constantly about her. And it was…a bit much.

*she laughs*

No. I’m a very kind person.

Just like my dad was.

We’re….Irish. You know? Irish…Catholics.

Listen to “Hatikvah” as performed by the Lost Tribe Louisville.

A man: Caroline, are you…gay?

Caroline: I will never answer that.

Just like Lem.

Because he’s my father too. I look like him.

A man: So you’re in love with your father?

Bobby: No.

He’s more my dad.

A man: But you’re in love with him too?

Bobby: No.

Neither of us are.

A man: No.

You think you are.

You both do.

So…unless you think incest is cool…you’re both stupid as fuck.

1:22

God: They don’t think it through. Almost at all.

A man: Why was Jack anti-Semitic?

God: Because Joe was.

The song ends.

A man: And you knew that!?!

*he says to the Somalian kid*

The Somalian kid: Yes.

I read it.

A man: WHERE!??

The Somalian Kid: In…a library. I was bored. And I was waiting for my bus. …It was cold outside.

The song ends.

Listen to “The Twist” by Chubby Checker.

Lacey: Why does Lem look like Chubby Checker…if Lem is gay?

That’s strange.

And no, Caroline wasn’t…his…type. And no, Bobby…you know nothing happened.

Bobby: I’m GONNA KILL YOU!!!! *he screams, at Lacey, in his American accent*

HE IS MINE!!! YOU FUCKAH!!!! *he yells in his Chinese accent, actually*

WE BOUGHT HIM!!

HE WORK FOR MY FAMILY!!!!

YOU CANNOT EXIST!!!

*he laughs*

*he smiles*

I am Satan’s friend. See? *he says to his cronies*

Satan: No, he’s not.

But…I let him think that.

A reader: So nothing sexual happened between you and Lem? At all?

Bobby: No. Nothing.

He was just a pathetic loser.

Okay?

He want kids. And I was a kid, I guess.

So he think I love him. Like a son.

Dumbass.

Then he decide to kill me. Bring me too much heroin.

Okay. Fine.

I like heroin. I’m not hurt!

…He was our slave, regardless.

Mmkay!?

Another reader: Who did you buy him from?

Bobby: From Choate.

Another reader: They don’t sell their students.

Bobby: Well, there’s we bought him.

So, I don’t know.

*he sticks his nose up in the air, primly*

You find out! I’m getting old now. Okay?

Another reader: I don’t think it would matter anyway. To be honest.

Bobby: Okay.

Well…you don’t know the power of the Illuminati. And our evil.

We can do big time shit. Most impressive stuff.

Hey! You like the Matrix?

Another reader: Yes.

Bobby: We make that. To explain stuff to you.

Good, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

It was a good movie.

*he looks incredibly proud of himself, so he smiles*
