In the last 10 minutes, Lacey has been trying to relax because she’s getting sick and she’s trying not to, but Bobby has been trying to play matchmaker with her and Peggy. 
Lacey: No, I’m not rejecting her Bobby.
She’s actually a very pretty lady.
But sweetheart, I’m straight.
And Peggy’s married.
And that’s just a silly conversation.
Bobby: But she’s Irish, like my family, so hey-
*he laughs, awkwardly*
An actress: OK I have a feeling Lacey is just stuck being straight. And maybe she always was? Okay?
It’s possible that in some other lifetime she was slightly bisexual, but I have a feeling that she’s always been attracted to men. I have a feeling she’s with Lem! *she says, cheerfully*
And I have a feeling that she probably is just straight, at least now.
Do you feel guilty? 
Lacey: No, Bobby, Peggy is a wonderful woman, but I’m not interested. And I don’t know how to guarantee this, but I think I was always straight and I definitely love Lem.
Bobby: But if you were just even a little bit gay, don’t you wonder if you missed out?
Lacey: Well, maybe that’s proof that I was never gay.
Cause, no. I have no feelings like that.
Or maybe that was in a previous life, when I was married to him and he was alive at the same time and I decided that it was nothing but rubbish for me, because I was that in love with him.
But no, I don’t have those feelings.
God: She was straight.
And this is a big if. Because there may not even be reincarnation, but no, she was actually straight.
Bobby: Yes. I feel dumb.
I feel…guilty.
A reader: So…in a way you think Peggy Flanagan is a wonderful woman. But, you’re also skeptical of her. Correct?
Lacey: Yes.
Tucker Carlson: Did you like the film, “Forest Gump”?
Lacey: Yes!
I think it was a masterpiece.
I don’t think…we fully appreciate how good of a movie it actually was, yet.
…It’s America.
I think, worst case scenario, he is America. Interesting that he’s named Forest.
There’s something touching about his heart. As dumb as he is. He’s very…fervent. And I think that’s America, at its best.
And maybe…our…downfall…is betraying Jenny. Selling those kids.
We’re supposed to protect the most vulnerable and downtrodden. Maybe love them more than anything. Like Christ loved the church. Not…molest them. No. Like Christ loved the church. ….The analogy ceases to exist when it becomes something sexual. Then it’s another analogy. But…like Christ loves the church.
Forest Gump: I exist.
In another realm.
And she’s right.
I am America. Symbolically.
Funny, how none of you have ever seen that!? *he says, skeptically*
I’m me. But…right now I asked God to make me smarter. To have this conversation.
Why don’t you talk about that more!? I am America.
Lacey: *watches the trailer to Forest Gump and weeps over America*
F. Scott Fitzgerald: I helped that film.
He is America.
Yes! I inspired the writers.
We are allowed to do that. On occasion.
We work with them.
…Forest…may not know a lot…but he knows love. He is…everything America was supposed to be, at its absolute best. …And in the end, Jenny loves him. And it’s a beautiful, rare sort of love. Because somehow…it’s an equal partnership. He’s just that…great. And he loves her…that…profoundly.
He’s not JFK. He’s…what Lem was supposed to be. He’s what America was supposed to be.
Lacey isn’t Jenny. But…I did borrow from Lacey, to create Jenny. As I borrowed from Lem, to create Forest.
…But we aren’t Forest Gump, anymore. And we’re…falling apart.

*later*
Casi: I’m speaking to you from the afterlife because I’m very angry. You need to stop being pretentiously spiritual.
I warned you last night!
The Illuminati: Casi was that Simpsons episode warning? With like the roller coaster?
Casi: Yes!
What was she saying yesterday!?
About trains.
And then she got into a fight with Michelle?
What the hell you guys!? What the fucking hell!?
Stop messing with her brain!
*later*
Lacey: I wasn’t being racist.
Toledo? Ohio.
We had some involvement with trains. Apparently. In Great Britain.
30?
Putin: Stop messing with me.
I fucked her. Okay!
Years ago.
Maybe I still have feelings. Maybe not. …Stop using that. It’s not safe.
It was years ago. And…maybe we didn’t-
The point is…you’re not taking this seriously enough…
