What's your favourite delivery in any of his films?

I mean the way they enunciate words and/or the facial expressions accompanying them, not just the absurdity of the lines themselves. One of my favourite examples is "He's writing about GOVERNMENT secrets," spoken by Emily in "Fateful Findings"; she pronounces the word "government" with such peculiar revulsion that it sounds like she's about to throw up. And basically every other line delivered by the actress who's playing her (Klara Landrat). I'm Polish myself, so I appreciate the hilarious randomness of casting a Polish woman in an American film, where we're supposed to believe she's a native American English speaker when she's saying everything with her heavy accent and the same monotonous tone and stoned face.

Or when Neil emphasises the weirdest words in his sentences, as in "national AND international corruption I KNOW is going on".

Or that lady in "Pass Thru" who says "Your mother's my sister! She was murdered! You're my niece!" or "Oh my god, what are you doiiingggg?!" and seems unable to utter any word without shouting with a valley girl accent.

Or one of the sisters in "I Am Here....Now" who's trying to whore her sister out (the one with the fake-ass "baby"), which is some great sisterly advice btw., by saying "You're hot! WE'RE hot!".

Serious theories about Fateful Findings

I know I'm probably reading too much into this, but I'm trying to make at least some sense of this film and analyse it logically.

  1. The psychotherapist's office - first of all, am I the only one who thinks it looks like one of those houses where they shoot orgies in porn films? Anyway, I've always thought the male psychotherapist was supposed to be somehow bad, or at least uninterested in truly helping Dylan, so he just prescribes addictive drugs and dismisses him instead of trying to find a real solution, because that would take too much effort and time, and he just wants money, while the female psychotherapist is supposed to be the good one who actually helps Dylan. It's hilarious that the sizes of their rooms are also completely opposite, but that might be intentional: the male psychotherapist's enormous conference room, where he sits on the other side of that long-ass table, is meant to convey his complete disinterest in his patients, while the female psychotherapist's tiny-ass room looks like a janitor's closet where she's forced to almost touch the patients and be intimate with them and listen to their problems, because the closet is so narrow.
  2. I think the smoke is supposed to be some weird but benevolent sentient being who protects Dylan and Leah, shows them that mushroom with the stone artifact to make them remember each other and that magical day even when they're older, and helps them rekindle their pure love after Dylan almost dies. Which is when the smoke takes the form of a busty fairy in skimpy clothing or something (which also reminds me of the porn fairy in Twisted Pair) and saves Dylan's life with the magic stone and makes him reevaluate his life to make it more meaningful, so that he abandons his successful career as a writer of novels, which he disliked and considered pointless and consumerist, and stops taking drugs, instead curing himself by focusing on personal fulfillment (his love for Leah and exposing the corruption of those in power to make the world a better place). The female psychotherapist could have also been another form that the smoke took, so she disappeared after completing her mission, and when Dylan finally successfully achieves everything he set out to do, the smoke finally leaves Dylan and Leah, and they can live happily ever after uWu

Do you have your own theories about this or other films that make them at least somewhat logical and coherent?
