The Lattice Of Coincidence

From the 1984 film Repo Man, an explanation of the great cosmic unconsciousness from Miller. “Have you heard the words plate, shrimp, or plate of shrimp lately? Don’t worry, you will…you’ll see. It’s on every corner everywhere …”

“A lot o’ people don’t realize what’s really going on. They view life as a bunch o’ unconnected incidents ‘n things. They don’t realize that there’s this, like, lattice o’ coincidence that lays on top o’ everything.”

“Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you’re thinkin’ about a plate o’ shrimp. Suddenly someone’ll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o’ shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin’ for one, either. It’s all part of a cosmic unconciousness.”

“Plate o’ shrimp.”
