Poniższy cytat jest jakby stworzony po to, by wytłumaczyć rozczarowanym widzom, o co chodzi w filmie:

Gill’s Law:
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.

Konieczne wydaje się rozwinięcie tej myśli, chociaż ja - mimo swojego antyhumanizmu - wyciągnąłem prawidłowe wnioski od razu:
"In fact, not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the argument that life is serious, though it is often hard and even terrible.

And saying that, I am prompted to add what follows out of it: that since everything ends badly for us, in the inescapable catastrophe of death, it seems obvious that the first rule of life is to have a good time; and that the second rule of life is to hurt as few people as possible in the course of doing so. There is no third rule."
