B. is Dying Episode 13

â€œB is DYING! B is a scholar of history! Heâ€™s studied ECONOMICS and PHILOSOPHY and he studied LAW too! Well, not exactly LAWâ€¦well, youâ€™ll see!â€

B is lying on his back shouting as cave people gather around and stare at him: â€œHereâ€™s how you make a SOCIETY! You invent some RULES! You post them externally so that you gotta adhere to them, like itâ€™s wrong to MURDER!â€

Zoom in on just B: â€œNo one will murder and then the people that murderâ€”theyâ€™re PUNISHED!â€

â€œBut thereâ€™s always gonna be the one type of guy who says well, how do you DEFINE murder? And you gotta watch out for that COCKSUCKER! Waitâ€”did he just say COCKSUCKER?â€

Zoom out to see B on his back and cave people walking past him, not looking: â€œSee, then you got to say, wait a minute, you donâ€™t use that word! And then people say wait a minute, whatâ€™s wrong with sucking COCK? And then you say, well you canâ€™t use that word! And then you have yourself a society full of everyone bickering at each other!â€

Close-up on Bâ€™s face: â€œGood job, YOU!â€
