MILTON
I'm here, on the ground, my nose in it since the whole damn thing began. Why? Because I worship man himself. And it's my time now. Our time.

CHRISTABELLA
Anybody want a drink? I'm having a drink.

KEVIN
This is some pitch. You must need me pretty bad. What do you want?

MILTON
Eddie was right. Your name is onthe partnership charter. I wantyou to take over the firm. You and your sister.

KEVIN
Is that it?

MILTON
No. (letting his hand brush her cheek)
She's ovulating. Right now.

KEVIN
What?

MILTON
Your vanity is justified, Kevin, you're the seed to a new future. Your son will sit at the head of
all tables. You hold a special place in the history of all things.

KEVIN
You want a child.

MILTON
I want a family.

KEVIN
The Antichrist.

MILTON
Whatever...

KEVIN
But I have to volunteer.

(Christabella begins to strip.)

MILTON
Free will. It's a bitch. I need a family. I command an ever larger presence on the board. I'm busy and I need some help. There's a plan here. I've been conserving my energy. Synergy. Prioritize. It's the millennium, Kevin. Title fight. Round twenty. I'm ready to work.

KEVIN
So what are you offering?

MILTON
Are we negotiating?

KEVIN
Always.

MILTON
Yes!

KEVIN
What are you offering?

MILTON
Everything. Anything. All of it!
(he's got him)
What am I offering? I'm offering bliss. Instant bliss. Bliss by remote control. Bliss on tap.
That first line of cocaine. That walk into a strange girl's bedroom. The jury coming back in thirtyeight minutes. Freedom.
Revolution! Viva la causa!


."God's your prankster, my boy. Think of it. He gives man instincts. He gives you this extraordinary gift and then, I swear to you -- for his own amusement -- his own private,
cosmic gag reel -- he sets the rules in opposition. It's the goof of all time.

Look but don't touch.
Touch but don't taste.
Taste but don't swallow.

And while you're jumping from one foot to the other he's laughing his sick fucking ass off! He's a tight-ass. He's a sadist. He's an absentee landlord!"
