…no they never said that. No they never said anything like that! They did… I wasn't trying to leave, you know. I knew that wherever I went, whatever I did it would be inside of me, so… Why would I try… [?] I don't know [?] Oh no I'm sure it would help me a lot. I don't have time… [?]
Baby, I never wanted to hurt you! Not you. You were just sitting there… So perfect, like you were on TV or something. I guess I just wanted to be on TV too. You know, like co-star or something. Shit, I don't know. Hey… I bet if we went up to the roof together, and jumped off, we could fly! Yeah! If we were holding our hands! Surely that's our style, baby, fly! W… what, y… you don't think we could? See that's your problem baby, you don't have any faith!
We will save you, we're right behind you. Blink if you can hear us. There's a pen on the floor located next to your right foot, pick it up casually, put it in your left coat pocket, this pen contains 15mg [?]. Blink if you understand this. [?] is a compound designed to...
Okay… okay now I'm gonna show you something and I want you to look at it very carefully. Okay? Okay. Yeah now shut your eyes, shut your eyes! Okay. Now… Now open them. What d'you think of that? You think that's dirty? You ever looked at that magazine before? You know what magazine this is? What about a… what about… what about this picture right here, you think that's dirty? Yes no? No? You don't think that's dirty? Okay. All right, what about… what about this one?
…casually. You'll see a black car parked behind a blue van. The black car is not a real car, it is a rubber decoy car. We repeat: the black car is not a real car, blink if you understand this. The blue van contains a small helicopter…
Hey, look at me, look over here! What are you looking out there for? There's nothing out there, look around here! Look at my eyes. What do you see there? Huh, what do you see? I can't hear you! One more time baby… little bit louder. Yeah, LOVE! And it's all for you, don't you EVER forget it! Are you crying? Oh… I thought you were crying
Touch the hair on the left side of your head casually. You will notice that the strands are made of fiber-optic wire filaments. We repeat: you hair is not your real hair. Blink if you understand this. The fiber-optic filaments are connected to a central receptor located under your scalp. We repeat: your brain is not your real brain. Blink if you understand this. The central receptor…
We! You and me are having a conversation here, so I would appreciate it if you would SIT DOWN. Thank you. Now. I know they tell you that you'll get over it, but I am telling you that you will never get over it baby, that's the beauty of it. You have been shot in the heart! Yeah! And there will always be a bullet in there. That how I know I can trust you…
You must detonate the central receptor. Remove the pen from you left coat pocket casually. Remove the cap carefully. You'll notice that the point of the pen is a hypodermic needle. To release the [?] into the central receptor you must penetrate the scalp. You'll do this by scratching your head with the pen point casually, in an absent-minded fashion
Wherever you go, whatever you do! That bullet will be inside of you and… you're like maybe one you'll be… faraway from here, from me! You'll be like maybe on a… on a yard or something, you know, like those…
Insert the hypodermic needle into your scalp casually, in absent-minded fashion. Insert the hypodermic needle into your scalp. Blink if you understand this
…there'll be music, lots of people laughing! You'll be dancing! You'll be beautiful. Of course you will! [?] but suddenly, all of a sudden... the music's too loud, of course it is, and you don't feel like dancing anymore, of course you don't! You have been shot in the heart. You don't feel like dancing, you've been shot in the heart! And there will always be a bullet in there
