Dylan Moran's Overview of Life in a Nutshell...

This is from his newest DVD from a gig in Australia, 15 May 2009, Dylan Moran in the 27th minute encapsulates life and death in a nutshell:

“So, yes...death. When you’re young you...don’t really think about it; you know, you have the intelligence of raspberry jam, you’re not thinking about anything. But, it’s there as a motive force, making you do things. Go and get a job. Go and find a flat. Find somebody else, put them in the flat; make them stay. Get a toaster, go to work. Get on the bus. Look at your boss, say ‘fuck’. Sit down; pick up the thing, go blank. Scream internally. Go home. Listen to the radio, look at the other person, think, ‘Why? Why did this happen?’ Go to bed, lie awake at night. Get up, feel all groggy; put the things on – your clothes – whatever they’re called. Go out the door, into work. Same things, same people, again; it’s real, it is happening to you. Go home again: sit, radio, dinner, hmm. Gardening, gardening, gardening! Death.”
