PHILIP K. DICK
VALIS
(Page 160)
“No,” both Fat and I said in unison.
“That dry barren field. That was the parking lot Brady ran across to get into his car when the two men in black were stationed and ready to shoot him.”

“There was a tree,” Kevin said. “Both times.”
“I saw no tree,” Fat said.
“Well, we’ll all have to go see the picture again,” Kevin said.

“Christians,” Kevin agreed. “Who aren’t human beings but something without sex organs designed to look like human beings, but on closer inspection they are human beings; they do have sex organs and they make love.”

Kevin, not smiling, said, “Right. So now can you see why I wanted you to see Valis?” he said to Fat.
“Yes,” Fat said, somberly, in deep introspection.
“How could Linda Lampton walk through the wall of the mixer?” I said.
“I don’t know,” Kevin said. “Maybe she wasn’t really there or maybe the mixer wasn’t there; maybe she was a hologram.”
“‘A hologram,'” Fat echoed.
