Daughter: Why?

Louis: Well, because some things are and some things are not.

Daughter: Why?

Louis: Well, because things that are not can't be.

Daughter: Why?

Louis: Because then nothing wouldn't be! You can't have fucking nothing isn't, everything is!

Daughter: Why?

Louis: 'Cause if nothing wasn't, there'd be fucking all kinds of shit, like giant ants with top hats dancin' around... there's no room for all that shit!

Daughter: Why?

Louis: Aw, fuck you, eat your French fries, you little shit. Goddammit.
