you have to believe in the small things so that you can believe in the big ones.

1. That was kinda hokey, but lots of truth.

Death's mouth never moved....low budget? I do like what it had to say though....and it can apply to many things. Politics, religion, life.

2. This little bit of dialogue is Sir Terry Pratchett at his best!

“All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

3. pretty much my favourite Christmas movie

not hokey at all and Michelle's best movie Will miss Terry. Interestingly the person voicing death here (From Hell) has also passed on. But Christopher Lee (the 2nd death in Colour of Magic is still going strong Heavy Metal???) For Terry's sake I take this death thing with a bit of buggerance
