Sidney: All we've got is a couple of days…
Sidney: Well, let's say I'm in the Telestial Kingdom.
Sidney: Now suppose that while I'm in the Telestial
Kingdom, Tomorrow's in the Terrestial and a certain fellow is about to
die.
Sidney: Tomorrow is there waiting for him. Before he
dies, he asks me to help him understand the names of those in Heaven. So
I tell him to ask Who?
Sidney: I don't even know what I'm talkin' about!
Sidney: Is to ask Who in the first degree?
Sidney: Now Who's going to answer him?
Sidney: If I tell him to ask someone in the first degree,
somebody's gotta answer him. Now Who answers him?
Sidney: Who answers him?
Sidney: Who?
Sidney: Naturally.
Sidney: So I tell him to ask Naturally.
Sidney: Naturally.
Sidney: So I have the person ask Naturally.
Sidney: I have them ask Who?
Sidney: That's what I'm saying!

Sidney: Naturally!
Sidney: That's what I'm saying! I ask Who?
Sidney: Ask me.
Sidney: Naturally.
Sidney: … I have them ask those in the first degree
and Who gets it?
Sidney: Who answers it?
Sidney: He better answer it! Let me get this
straight: I have this person ask those in the first degree. … Who answers
him? … But What he asks, I Don't Know. I Don't Know suggests he wait till
Tomorrow -- triple play.
Sidney: Let's say another guy asks a real hard question
of Because. Why? I Don't Know. He's in the third degree and I don't
care!
Sidney: I said I don't care!
