GOD: No Tom. That's not necessary. Tom...I have a question for you. Do you remember what you said a few months ago when you were praying about the Ethics Committee?
Delay: Um, ah, um...no. I don't remember...
GOD: Let me remind you. ALEX!!!! CAN YOU COME IN HERE?
DELAY: Who's that?
GOD: Alexander Graham Bell. He's still tinkering around. Now he's all into this "iPod" thing. Says it's the "shizzle," whatever that means. I should have stopped with these computers after the Commodore VIC-20.
BELL: Here you go. Just press here to play.
DELAY (on tape): Oh dear God. Please PLEASE PLEASE let them change the rules so I can't lose the my job if Earle indicts me. I'll do anything for you. I'll stop grandstanding. I'll take care of the poor. I'll stop using religion for political gain. OH PLEASE JUST FIX THE ETHICS COMMITTEE!!!!
