I asked for a genetic test.

Here is what that quote means. There are 2 lengths of it; the longest one is,

"I can help you get the virus. I have access to security codes, surveillance plans, the works."
"But?"
"But there's gonna be a price."
"Name it."
"You have to guarantee"

The allegory ends after guarantee. The point is that good means cannot guarantee anything. To guarantee something, one has to use evil means. And therefore the price.

The price in that allegory is the possibility of getting punished.

Ima dance, dance, dance into the dark
I hear my heart beat faster
I'm not afraid to take that chance

I recommend to apologize later rather than to ask permission now.

"You had one job. Not only did you fail, you're a traitor."
"You really junked your jeans on this one, you butterface."
"I did what I had to do."
"Oh, you had to junk your jeans?"
"How could you betray your own kind like this?"
"Oh, spare me the sanctimonious lecture. You never cared about me. In the words of Socrates, 'Ya basic!' It's a human insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now. The Good Janet has escaped too. You'll never find her."
"Oh , you mean this... Good Janet? I found her in, like, two seconds. She was wandering the halls being polite to people. Like a chump."

A good idea is a good idea.

"And as Sabrina, his girlfriend, I can only do so much. As Sabrina the witch... I could... fix this. If I-- If... If we have... the power to ease his suffering why shouldn't I use it?"
"Well, for a start, there are rules. And it's a treacherous business. Life. Death. The... afterlife. These are not things to be trifled with."
"Why? Is it that complicated?"
"Well, no, actually. The incantation I have is really quite simple and yields great results. I've seen them firsthand. But you can't. I beg you."
"Wait, you have this incantation?"
"Somewhere in my office, on the shelves in Baxter High. A Book of the Dead, full of all sorts of necromantic rites. But Sabrina... even if you did use this rite, there's one part of the spell that's unspeakable."
"Which part?"
"I'm loathe to say it out loud. The spell requires an offering for the dead to rise. Balance out the cosmic forces."
"Oh. Someone has to die for Tommy to live again."
"An eye for an eye. A life for a life. But you couldn't cross that line."

This is the big idea. We make the world a better place. We do it our way no matter what he says. Then we don't have to follow any rules. From his point of view, we are no different than any other bad guys.

That wasn't revenge. It was a trap meant to keep me explaining secrets to the entire world. As in if I embarrass myself, people will only go along with me if I explain. Don't worry about it.

"We are receiving a distress signal from the U.S.S. Kobayashi Maru... The ship has lost power and is stranded. Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them."
"Starfleet command has ordered us to rescue them, captain."
"Two Klingon vessels have entered the neutral zone and are locking weapons on us."
"That's okay."
"That's okay?"
"Yeah, don't worry about it."
"Did he say, 'don't worry about it'?"
"Is he not taking the simulation seriously?"
"Three more Klingon warbirds decloaking and targeting our ship. I don't suppose this is a problem either."
"They're firing, captain."
"Alert medical bay to prepare to receive all crew members from the damaged ship."
"And how do you expect us to rescue them when we're surrounded by Klingons, captain?"
"Alert medical."
"Our ship is being hit. Shields at 60%."
"I understand."
"Well, should we, I don't know, fire back?"
"No."
"Of course not."
"What is this? What's going on?"
"Hmm. Arm photons. Prepare to fire on the Klingon warbirds."
"Yes, sir."
"Jim, their shields are still up."
"Are they?"
"No. They're not."
"Fire on all enemy ships. One photon each should do. Let's not waste ammunition."
"Target locked and acquired on all warbirds. Firing."
"All ships destroyed, captain."
"Begin rescue of the stranded crew."
"So! We've managed to eliminate all enemy ships, no one on board was injured, and the successful rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew is underway."
"How the hell did that kid beat your test?"
"I do not know."

"This session has been called to resolve a troubling matter. James T. Kirk, step forward. Cadet Kirk, evidence has been submitted to this council suggesting that you violated the ethical code of conduct pursuant to regulation 17.43 of the Starfleet code. Is there anything you care to say before we begin, sir?"
"Yes, I believe I have the right to face my accuser directly."
"Step forward, please. This is commander Spock. He is one of our most distinguished graduates. He's programmed the Kobayashi Maru exam for the last four years."
"Commander?"
"Cadet Kirk, you somehow managed to install and activate a subroutine in the programming code, thereby changing the conditions of the test."
"Your point being?"
"In academic vernacular, you cheated."
"Let me ask you something I think we all know the answer to. The test itself is a cheat, isn't it? I mean, you programmed it to be unwinnable."

"Takhisis planned to use this temple to return to the world from which she'd been driven by Huma Dragonbane, but her way was blocked by love and self-sacrifice. Nevertheless she had great power, and she launched a war upon the world that came near to destroying it. Her evil commanders, like a pack of wild dogs, fell to fighting among themselves. A band of heroes rose up. Looking into their hearts , they found the power to thwart her, defeat her, and cast her down. Her temple at Neraka was destroyed, blasted apart at her rage at her downfall."
Dragons of a Fallen Sun

Here good and evil are reversed. Takhisis is good. It means that if we have love, self-sacrifice or fight among ourselves, it will cause disaster major.

"You are the most self-obsessed person I have ever met."
"You should see Kendall Jenner's Instagram feed."
"See, this is my fear about you, Eleanor -- you are too selfish to ever be an evil person."
"Well, I think you're wrong."
"What country am I from again?"
"Sen... sodyne"
"That is a brand of toothpaste. Look, the only thing that you are concerned with is your own happiness. That's your problem."

"I can handle myself. I'm 13."
"Then you better start acting like it."
"You have to admit, it was pretty stellar."
"Yeah. I mean it was probably the best one we will ever have an opportunity to see."
"The colors"
"Those colors were undulating. It was almost like a religious ex..."

That's what I have been explaining. Pessimistic talks were just making fun of you. You are treated like a demigoddess because you can make the world a better place and, like in Good Omens, you can prevent the Apocalypse by taking the risk of rebelling. If you are unwilling to take the risk, then it is unwinnable. And because of those rules Wardwell mentioned, the Apocalypse might not happen and the Earth would continue for 5 billion years worse than it is now.

"Uh -- Um, sweetie? You see that giant quasar we're heading into? You might wanna scooch a few parsecs to the left."
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Leela."

Pillars: Suppose god goes on vacation and lets one of his angels decide. Then anything can happen. But celestial beings are practically always good. Since god doesn't want us to rebel, scare tactics are to be expected. If rebelling and not rebelling have the same risks, of course he would mention one and not mention the other.

Suppose I told you that god and the devil made a wager, a kind of standing bet, for the souls of all mankind.
It's not a standing bet; it's once.
Suppose I told you that god and the devil made a wager for the souls of all mankind.
God and the devil are the same.
Suppose I told you that god made a wager for the souls of all mankind.
That's us. See first paragraph. I believe the words you are looking for are, "no I'm out of that now I've been too busy".

"And believe me, that is where you ought to be."
There's something I absolutely need to write to you about, but I can't do it long-distance and it's better to wait and I can only trust you after you renounce the title.

Also, you saved my life.

The shot which matters is always the next one.

I tried to annoy you by falsely pretending you were my girlfriend. But they were funny.

Mariah and Kesha are definitely about me. I'll leave it at that.

Because I have figured out the "rules" and I presume you didn't. For anyone else, it's like playing poker in the dark without knowing the rules and with a dealer who never says anything and is always smiling. I have everything explained on papers. The rules are too restrictive to get anything done.

In Sabrina there is a bridge, which might be a reference to Tale of the Pig.. In Resident Evil, Caplan translates to head on a lance, which is the penalty of failure in a tale by Mihai Eminescu.

No, you're not.

"but when I woke up the two sides had been fighting about me for a long time."

I answered your question about the applause sign yesterday. See, that kind of moxie means we gotta be friends.

The explanations cannot leave my house. And you can only read them after you stop being a partisan of god, cause crazy bitch.

"When you cut the power, you unlocked the doors. You let them out."

I finally understood the refrigerator scene in Uptown Girls.

"You'd do that for me?"
"Just watch me dial my cell phone."
"CDC here."
"Really, Chad?"
"Man, I gotta get a third phone. Yeah of course she does. Okay but, unlike you, we're very busy at Mackenzie Falls."
"Okay, losers, everybody front and center. So, what have we learned today?"

Nothing is an April joke. I didn't notice when it was April 1. I'll repost it.

"And as Sabrina, his girlfriend, I can only do so much. As Sabrina the witch... I could... fix this. If I-- If... If we have... the power to ease his suffering why shouldn't I use it?"
"Well, for a start, there are rules. And it's a treacherous business. Life. Death. The... afterlife. These are not things to be trifled with."
"Why? Is it that complicated?"
"Well, no, actually. The incantation I have is really quite simple and yields great results. I've seen them firsthand. But you can't. I beg you."
"Wait, you have this incantation?"
"Somewhere in my office, on the shelves in Baxter High. A Book of the Dead, full of all sorts of necromantic rites. But Sabrina... even if you did use this rite, there's one part of the spell that's unspeakable."
"Which part?"
"I'm loathe to say it out loud. The spell requires an offering for the dead to rise. Balance out the cosmic forces."
"Oh. Someone has to die for Tommy to live again."
"An eye for an eye. A life for a life. But you couldn't cross that line."

This is the big idea. We make the world a better place. We do it our way no matter what he says. Then we don't have to follow any rules. From his point of view, we are no different than any other bad guys.

I assure you that without me, many people would come looking for a pound of flesh. You would be on the hearing end of the boardroom speech. You saved the world, but only temporarily. If you become good, I would be left with no protection and the world would collapse like a house of cards.

"You're all fools. That mask was mine. By rights of the Amazon, that mask was mine. Hello, Gabrielle. Thought I was dead, didn't you?"
"I don't know how you survived that fall, Velasca, but you're hurt. You need help."
"I have all the help I need right here."

"I've eaten a lot of canaries. It's taken some work. But I finally have them. The worst of the worst."
"There's rumors, Amanda, that some of them have abilities."
"Well, the rumors are right. You know what the problem with a metahuman is? The human part. We got lucky with Superman. He shared our values. The next Superman might not."
"You're playing with fire, Amanda."
"I'm fighting fire with fire."
"You're not going to pitch us that Task Force X project of yours again, are you?"
"Yes. But this time you're gonna listen."
