Cowboy Bebop

Security Guard (about Ed): She's an unusual looking child. Is she a girl?

Londes: What is a physical body? The body is merely an object. It is a form of existence far too impure to store the gods within us called souls. Now you will remember... Bloodstained history! Material greed. Hunger. Sexual desire. Desire to dominate. Desire for fame. Humanity. From the physical body, all the desires are born. From the human ego will never disappear as long as desire remains present. Humans will continue to fight to fulfill their bodies' desires and it will never end. There is no future! You must awaken. Awaken your soul. Rid yourself of that filthy human body now!

Ed: My Papa!

Londes: Do you want to know the greatest and worst device that humans have invented? It's Television, Television controls people by bombarding people with information until they lose sense of reality. Now television itself has become a new religion. Television has created a people who believe instantly in dramatic fantasies and can be controlled by tiny dots of light.

Londes: The souls that god has given us, our spirits, our spirits, which found a way to swim through the immense network and live in the infinity of space. Is not the human body a mere shell, a form of exisitence all too small and weak for conciousness with such vast reach and potential?

Ed: And this time, I hope you have sweet dreams.
