in the ground, Dad went into hysterics.

"My son!"

Who f***ing does that?

They said he took his life.

But they don't know.

Oh, right now. Come on.

I gotta feel something.

Like a snake.

Swallowed him.

Come on, feel it.

Blind.

Deaf.

Grasping.

I just wanted to twist a cane.

Strike out, break free.

Didn't have the guts.

He's just an old fool.

Just let him die with his blinders an.

Redeem my life.

Justify it.

Ah, look at the fierce one.

The fierceness in his eyes. The rage!

inflicted upon myself...

yam on Billy.

I died.

In a different way.

I know you don't love me.

I know things.

- Say it.

- Serious information.

I've blinded you.

My fife has...

I did every lousy, crappy job

that they wanted me to do.

But because I stumbled down

the road like a drunk...

that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.

I turned you upside down.

My son.

The light's gone out of your eyes.

Womanizer.

Cut off.

Life.

A goddess.

Angela...

Frita...

Music is very important.

Helps me to fall in love.

I fall in love 20 times a day.

Your face was very familiar to me, but I

didn't know from where. You're fantastic.

Thank you.

Listening to music on headsets, unaware you

are staring at them like a dirty ol' man.

Myself, I didn't wanna get a divorce.

I never stopped loving them.

But the way I loved them changed.

They are like flavors.

Sometimes you want raspberry, then

after a while you want some strawberry.

- It's Abrasive.

- Oh, you are such a governor.

- What's your name?

- Helen.

What's your name?

Rick.

Do you know anybody here?

No. Does that surprise you?

- I know a guy.

- I know a guy...

- like future space.

- You're at a party, it's alright.

You know who'd be hot?

Cleopatra.

If her nose had been this much shorter,

it would've changed the world.

The Pearl.

Somewhere in the sea.

A chaos.

Hungry.

Longing for something other...

without knowing what it is.

What about pink?

Do you like pink?

- I love the company of women.

- It's pretty. Did it lake long?

It seemed they knew something.

Some men don't like pink.

- But closer.

- Now you tell me something.

To the mystery.

Treat this world as it deserves.

There are no principles...

just circumstances.

Nobody's home.

Smoke machines in an empty sea.

I got women in Tennessee.

What can run but never walk,

some word have I found but never talk.

Gonna take me out to see...

Ge! up.

Find it.

There's a ketamine party we're having

next week. Have you ever heard of that?

You're here for 20 seconds and then,

wham, you're out. You're in another room.

Your wife. You're in another one.

Have you been to Sarajevo?

I have prayed, man,
