No, sir, you should admit it's a long process. I bring it up by way of this, and I say this as respectfully as I can. Friends of mine wanted me to marry them, and I couldn't do it unless I was ordained officially. So I paid 10 bucks, Universal Church of Light. And I guess what I'm saying is you and I are colleagues. Moment of silence. Slight differential, perhaps, in the depth of our knowledge. (01:39–01:46)
