Episode Twenty-Six: "You've Been Hanging 'Round with an Enemy of the State"

MARY: What happens to the soul when we die, Rhoda?

RHODA: The exception to this, always, is the bodhisattva.

MARY: Nature is wondrous, but it has never fashioned an immortal body.

RHODA: Both are extremely dangerous, of course.

MARY: And as for who coined that central war on terror being in Iraq, it was the General Petraeus and al Qaeda, both leaders there.

TED BAXTER: And it's probably the only thing that they're ever going to agree on -- but that it was a central war on terror. A central war on terror is in Iraq. You don't have to believe Sarah Palin or John McCain on that. I would believe Petraeus and the leader of al Qaeda.

RHODA: We have to assume two things, Mary: nature wishes the phenomenon of Sarah Palin to occur; and nature has not provided us with any means of determining the exact state of ourselves during or after Sarah Palin.

MARY: There 's just too much finger-pointing backwards to ever make us believe that's where you hate going.

RHODA: Maybe the afterlife is a reservoir of de-Baathified souls.

MARY: Yesterday we were losing in Iraq. Today we are winning. The exception to this, always, is the bodhisattva.
