	Season 2 / Episode 9: - Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense Jose Chung: Once upon a time, two East Indian immigrants gave birth to a baby boy who they loved very dearly yet nevertheless named Juggernaut Onan Goopta. Other than the name, and the, uh, beard, he was a normal boy who suffered all the usual humiliations of a normal childhood. Upon graduating high school, he went off to college with the dream of someday becoming a famous neuroscientist. His goal was to be the first to comprehend how the biology of the brain gives birth to the greatest mystery of life: self-consciousness. Unfortunately, his own brain could not comprehend basic biology. He quickly switched majors to Philosophy, but alas, while reading Kierkegaard's "Sickness Unto Death," he became sick, and nearly died. During recovery, though still obviously suffering from dementia, he set forth on a new dream: to become a writer. And his first forays into detective fiction proved so inept they were mistaken for brilliant parodies, then finding immediate publication in the highbrow literary journal "The Dark Mask." Alongside the work of a talented group of young writers, one of whom would go on to become the leading literary light of his generation, composing profound stories in a style that made Proust seem pallid, his lovable flamboyancy made him not only a literary icon, but a cultural one as well; why, he even made a cameo appearance in an award-winning film at Cannes - Horatio J. Hoodoo: I bet nobody ever comes out of there alive! Jose Chung: - But, we're here to focus on Goopta. After the demise of the magazine, Goopta could not sell his work, and he became destitute and suicidal. Out of pure desperation, he managed, in a single, feverish night, to crank out a book that changed the course of human history: "How to Be Happy, Even When You Shouldn't." It was quickly follwed by the best-sellers "How To Manipulate People By Your Apparent Friendliness" and "How to Overcome Your Fears By Making Others Fear You." And upon the release of his masterpiece, Goopta hit the lecture hall circuit, always preaching to standing-room only, for he shrewdly refrained from providing chairs. Juggernaut Onan Goopta: Every painful moment in your life casts a shadow across your neurobiology. Until you exterminate these dark memories, you will remain in a negative groove. Thus, those who cannot forget their past, are condemned to repeat it. Jose Chung: Gupta then opened an institute to help teach people how to become more self-helpful. Patients, who are called doctors, since the term "patient" has an unhealthy association, learn how to shed the darkness of their minds by mastering therapies taught by the institute's staff, which, to inspire a sense of empirical transmigration, is modeled after the U.S. Postal Service. The institute proved so popular, Selfosophy branched out, and institutes popped up throughout the nation. And Goopta announced a new evolution to Selfosophy: Juggernaut Onan Goopta: After wiping away its mind of darkness, the self must then wipe its eternal soul; and since the soul has existed for thousands of years before the advent of Selfosophy, we all have a great deal of wiping to do. Jose Chung: The tax-exempt belief system also evolved its own theology. But I can't tell you what it is. It's a secret. When learning their theology, Selfosophists must undergo a sworn blood oath ritual, which is also a secret. So this artist's depiction is purely speculative, and surely way over the top. In fact, forget you even saw it! In any case, all the secrecy and profits drew criticism from some quarters, but these critics were quickly silenced, either by libel suits, or by what Selfosophists call "Knock-Knock Zoom-Zoom affirmations." There were even some internal criticisms. If a member continues his complaints, he is deemed a "ratfinkovich," and is excommunicated from Selfosophy. In 1979, Onan Goopta molted his earthly encumbrance to pursue his Selfisophical research in another dimension. That means, he died of prostate cancer. But the institution he left behind has never been more popular as we head into the next millennium. A happy, upbeat ending, if ever there was one. That is, it was, until I reentered the story. And it's about time! You see, while conducting this research, I was contacted by a recent ratfinkovich, who in one of those coincidences found only in real life and great fiction, actually was named "Ratfinkovich" - Joseph P. Ratfinkovich. And he promised to reveal to me the never-before-disclosed secret behind Selfosophy: Ratfinkovich: Goopta... is god. Jose Chung: That's it? To find out that the ultimate revelation of Selfosophy is that its God is the guy who invented the damn thing? There's not really much of a "wow" in that, is there?
	Season 2 / Episode 4: - Monster Frank Black: You can take my money. You can take my yellow house. You can take my Life. But do not attempt to take my daughter from me. Especially in a lie.
	Season 2 / Episode 1: - The Beginning and the End (2) Catherine's Rapist: Would you, could you, die for God?
	Season 2 / Episode 1: - The Beginning and the End (2) Frank Black: A number. There is one for every life which ever was or ever will be. And like most lives, they wait for a moment, the moment... When we'll be sent on its journey back toward the yellow sun. Approaching the sun brings definitive change. It will never again be the same. Appearing in our skies, it is believed to be the prophecy of extraordinary events. The Birth of Kings. The Death Of Empires. After Centuries, or Millennia, the journey must end. Perhaps smothered by its own dust, the dark, soulless body continues eternally through space and time. It may disintegrate and crumble into inconsequential rubble. Or it may be lost forever, crashing, burning into the yellow sun. And tonight as I look into the sky and it looks back on me, I wanna know which am I. I need to know. Is this the beginning of the journey... Or the end?
	Season 1 / Episode 10: - The Wild and the Innocent Maddie Haskell: I was at church Easter Sunday, and the minister was talking about the mystery of faith, and how easy it is to doubt what you can't prove, and how none of us saw the miracle at the Lord's tomb that day, all we had to do was to believe in it hard enough, and it would be true.

Agent Wallace: You mean in the press? Frank Black: Closer. From his home. The bomb is complex, intricate. Perhaps overly so. I believe this trait extends to his obsessions.

It's his way of inserting himself into the chaos, the chaos he creates.
