“I don’t give a shit what the world thinks. I was born a bitch, I was born a painter, I was born fucked. But I was happy in my way. You did not understand what I am. I am love. I am pleasure, I am essence, I am an idiot, I am an alcoholic, I am tenacious. I am simply I am….”

Aliens: All right, Empress Maude. Take us to her. 
Jocelyn: I always new God was on our side. 
Aliens: 
Jocelyn: You’re angels right? Come to bring us portends and tidings of the divine? 
Aliens: Or to massacre you.
Jocelyn: That makes sense. We’re very sinful. We deserve whatever punishment it is God has seen fit to bestow upon us. 
Aliens: 
Aliens: 
Aliens: Wow.
