Chaos, Cartoons and Scooby Snacks, Explained：safety in numbers

What's really going on

The scene is two separate conversations that the film lets rhyme. First comes a monologue about chaos and new physics, delivered by someone who is either enlightened or simply high, and the film refuses to decide. "The underlying order is chaos, man," he says, then reaches for the butterfly effect and quantum observation as proof. Later, at a table, the same spirit shows up in a smaller key: people draw cards with sayings and use them to think about cartoons. The best exchange turns Scooby Snacks into a lesson in bribery and the Smurfs into "safety in numbers," which is exactly the kind of half-serious theory the whole film runs on. Nobody is mocked and nobody is confirmed; the talk just keeps moving, the way it does in Slacker.
