START: Prudence, I believe one should just act--without though, without reason, act on instinct. Look at the natives in Samoa, look at Margaret Mead. Did they think about what they were doing?

[...]

END: Why don’t we think of our lives as some sort of uncontrollable disaster, like The Towering Inferno or Tora! Tora! Tora! and then why don’t we just act on instinct and adrenaline. I mean, put that way, doesn’t that make you just want to go out and get married?
