Speaker 6: have history.
Speaker 3: Uh, keep your distance.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not versed in the Heimlich, But if
Speaker 6: you's all that as American as.
Speaker 2: That, what more could you possibly want from me?
Speaker 3: Why would you even show up after what you did?
Speaker 6: I hardly did it alone. We all take our orders
Speaker 6: from something.
Speaker 4: You have anything siary.
Speaker 6: I'm surprised. Why the last time we talked, or.
Speaker 2: Was that before or after you drugged me? Well after
Speaker 2: when you threw me in a van, dragged me to
Speaker 2: this healthscape and threw away the key.
Speaker 6: I meant the last time when we had such a
Speaker 6: pleasant conversation about puzzles from ancient texts.
Speaker 4: No, we did it.
Speaker 6: Don't tell me you've forgotten, miss Rowequez.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I know it's it's coming back to me now.
Speaker 6: Good. Shall we pick up when we left off last time?
Speaker 3: Well, I you know, maybe.
Speaker 6: We could actually Why didn't I take it from the beginning?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's been it's been kind of hectic lately,
Speaker 2: so I could use a refresher.
Speaker 6: And, by the looks of it, some refreshment. Why don't
Speaker 6: you go ahead and finish your apple?
Speaker 2: Are you sure?
Speaker 6: Always? Just don't choke?
Speaker 5: Wonderful. Now shall we?
Speaker 6: Let's yep, last time I told you about my friend Miguel, Monguel,
Speaker 6: Miguel de la Croufe.
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, Moguel de la de la Cruz.
Speaker 6: Of course, Miguel just loves riddles, and I think I
Speaker 6: almost had you stumped with the last one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, almost, what was it?
Speaker 6: Ah? Yes, I have seas without water, coasts without sand,
Speaker 6: towns without people, and mountains without land. What am I?
Speaker 2: I am? Can Europe?
Speaker 6: You have seas without water, coasts without sand, towns without people,
Speaker 6: and mountains without land.
Speaker 5: What am I? You do? Remember? Yes?
Speaker 2: Of course, it's just it's been a while and other
Speaker 2: things have come into.
Speaker 5: The of course.
Speaker 6: Of course, your caseworker seems rather pleased with your progress.
Speaker 7: You spoke to aiden affirmative and he helped clear this
Speaker 7: additional meeting because he thinks you're progressing, progressing, But what
Speaker 7: is progress really but having the tools to succeed and
Speaker 7: to move forward in the.
Speaker 5: Hmm.
Speaker 6: I'm not sure how much time we've left in our session,
Speaker 6: so perhaps we can circle back to Miguel de la couf. Okay,
Speaker 6: remember how I told you about Saint Monica.
Speaker 2: St.
Speaker 6: Monica, the very namesake of that beach oasis on the
Speaker 6: coast of Los Angeles. Santa Monica, have you heard of it?
Speaker 2: Yes, of course I know Santa Monica, the Peer, the
Speaker 2: Ferris Wheel, muscle freakin beach. Come on, do I know
Speaker 2: Santa Monica?
Speaker 6: Hm? Yes, Well Monica, the patron Saint of Mothers, had
Speaker 6: a son, obviously, Saint Augustine, though neither or he were saints.
Speaker 6: When he was growing up, he was a capricious lad,
Speaker 6: perhaps owing to the fact that his father was an
Speaker 6: infamous adulterer and not the best role model. So Oggie
Speaker 6: clashed with his mum rather frequently, rather frequently.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm trying to.
Speaker 6: Keep We need to focus, Miss Rodriguez.
Speaker 8: My.
Speaker 2: Mistake.
Speaker 4: Please continue gratefully.
Speaker 6: So one day Monica and Oggie have a massive fight.
Speaker 6: Things are said, probably not unlike kids rebelling today, But
Speaker 6: instead of you're grounded and no telly for the rest
Speaker 6: of the week, it was more, how could you convert
Speaker 6: to Manicheism? You're a traitor to our family, You're no
Speaker 6: longer welcome in our home.
Speaker 3: What's Manicheism?
Speaker 6: A dead religion founded in the third century by the
Speaker 6: Parthenian prophet what today we would call a branch of
Speaker 6: gnosticism based in duality. It offered salvation through special knowledge
Speaker 6: of radical truths, with the subtext of this world is
Speaker 6: evil and we're all gonna die.
Speaker 2: What happened to them.
Speaker 6: Went the way of Besimax or beaper pages beat out
Speaker 6: in the zeitgeist of newer, shinier, more gilded roby houses
Speaker 6: of worship. But that's not important right now. What's important
Speaker 6: is that Monica expelled Oggie, and afterwards things looked bleak
Speaker 6: for a minute until.
Speaker 4: Until what.
Speaker 6: Until one day Monica had this epiphany, this vision, this
Speaker 6: revelation of what. Some say God visited her. Others say
Speaker 6: a priest convinced her to change her ways. Others say
Speaker 6: that all the explanations are just ways to make it
Speaker 6: seem like a man came in and showed her the way.
Speaker 2: Of course they do.
Speaker 6: But I think there's nothing more powerful than the love
Speaker 6: a mother has for her child. Something you agreed with
Speaker 6: last time, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean it's up there.
Speaker 6: So Monica searched for to make amends and to dedicate
Speaker 6: her life to him, hence her being.
Speaker 2: The mother of all saints of mothers.
Speaker 6: Indeed, you're remembering so she tracks him from Algeria into Italy,
Speaker 6: finally finding him in Mila a mother and child reunion indeed,
Speaker 6: to celebrate. They plan a trip to Rome, but before
Speaker 6: they leave, they meet with Saint Ambrose, also not yet
Speaker 6: a saint, but well on his way since he was
Speaker 6: the Bishop of Milan, and probably in miracles to spare
Speaker 6: at that point. But I digress. How's the apple?
Speaker 4: It's fine, good, good.
Speaker 6: Speaking of apples and hunger more generally, Oggie and Monica
Speaker 6: meet with Saint Ambrose because apparently their trip is going
Speaker 6: to land them in Rome on a Saturday. Okay, as
Speaker 6: it turns out, back then, Saturday was a day of
Speaker 6: fast in.
Speaker 3: Rome every Saturday, every Saturday, like a Shabbath, yes.
Speaker 6: But with even more restrictions and punishable by death. Darn
Speaker 6: darn indeed, whereas in Milan they not only dressed to
Speaker 6: the nines, but they ate their heart outs on the weekend.
Speaker 6: Abetha style, sorry, Vegas style.
Speaker 3: I know what Abiza is, of course you do.
Speaker 2: So what did Ambrose say?
Speaker 6: I thought you'd never ask. He offered them some simple
Speaker 6: words that have lasted over eighteen hundred years.
Speaker 2: Fuck it eat whenever one wishes.
Speaker 6: But the answer was about as diplomatic and non divisive
Speaker 6: as someone in his position could provide. He said to them,
Speaker 6: when I am here in Milan, I do not fast.
Speaker 6: But when I'm in Rome, I do fast on Saturday, okay,
Speaker 6: not ringing any bells.
Speaker 2: When in Rome, do as the Romans.
Speaker 6: Do precisely, you do, remember, kudos to ever punched the
Speaker 6: line made it immortal.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 3: But how does that apply to my current situation?
Speaker 6: It applies, Miss Rodriguez, because I too think you're progressing
Speaker 6: well here. There is a lot of attention, a lot
Speaker 6: of eyes on your case. But it's time to take
Speaker 6: things to the next level.
Speaker 2: What's the next level?
Speaker 4: Have you had a chance to think on the riddle
Speaker 4: from earlier?
Speaker 6: Do you remember it?
Speaker 3: I have seas without water, coasts without.
Speaker 6: Sand, towns without people, oh.
Speaker 2: And mountains without land.
Speaker 6: Correct?
