Mason: Consciousness depends on how much blood you’ve got in your brain.
George: Does it?
Mason: Yes, the more blood flowing through your brain, the better it works. It’s all about stimulation.
George: How does putting a hole in your skull get more blood to your brain? I mean, I would think it would have the opposite effect.
Mason: Yeah, I asked the same question. They gave me an answer, and I’m fairly certain it made sense. You know, I just can’t bother to remember what it was.
George: Okay, well, um, what does this have to do with getting a day job?
Mason: Stimulation. Monotony is the mild killer. You’re not going to get that blood pumping by sitting behind a desk.
George: Stimulation don’t pay my rent.
Mason: Then learn to live off the wild.
George (as narrator): It all sounded very glamorous. But I had to consider the source. After all, he drilled a hole in his head chasing a permanent high. Too bad. It got away from him.
