Not sure myself, but ...

Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really
going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected
incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's
this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o'
everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean:
suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp.
Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or
plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No
point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a
cosmic unconciousness. 
Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the
hippie days? 
Miller: I'll give you another instance: you know how
everybody's into weirdness right now?...

Like, chorus, or frogs, or chorus 'o' frogs ... but
that's why I bat these fungoes to y'all, in the hopes
that somebody'll catch something or another there.  A
little fielding practice.  Maybe you lost that one in
the sun.  Maybe I oughtta whack a few pop-up flies at
y'all instead.  Maybe I oughtta grab my glove and hit
the Astroturf myself.  Okay ...
