"(DJ) Oh, yeah!" "That was for all you pinheads too hip to take off your jackets in the 95° heat." "When the weather gets like this it brings all you nutbags out and since I am a trouble magnet, I have one thing to say to you bozos: back off." "Here's the Sons of Thunder from their album Scrambled Eggs and Wobbly Legs." "This is Ian the Shark on the station with more hair, more flair, yet so debonair:" "KPPX." "Rebel Radio-oh-oh-oh-oh!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "You've gotta check in here!" "Get Security on the second floor." "We've got a bogey in elevator one." "It's that guy in the delivery uniform again." "OK, be wild." "Be as wild as you wanna." "If you feel like wetting yourself, go with it, OK?" "Anarchy's good." "They like anarchy, OK?" " But what are we supposed to say?" " What?" "Don't say anything." "Jeez, do you wanna blow this?" "You know how much these stupid hats set me back?" " Hi." " Oh, no." "Hey, excuse me?" "Mike, it's him." "The wacko's back." "Yeah, I'm up here in AR right now." "I'm not goin' anywhere." "Oh, hey, dude." " Hey, hi." "Are you an executive here?" " Yeah." "How you doin'?" "My name's Chazz." "Chazz Darby." "I'm in this band and we've got this incredibly sweet demo." "I think you should hear it." "I can't take that tape from you." "It's called unsolicited material." "Hey, but this is the real thing, man." "This is rock 'n' roll." "None of that gimmicky stuff." "I would love to hear it, but if it's unsolicited, I can't touch it." "We've been trying to get solicited..." "Well, then maybe a gimmick would help." "The cream always rises, OK?" "Super-duper." "Thanks." "All right, dude." "Thanks a lot." "Whoa!" "You again!" "You just can't learn, can you, scumbag?" "Take care now." "Here's your tape." "Hey." "How was your day?" "Oh, Gary is a tremendous asshole." "He had this whole stack of invoices and he made me arrange them by date." " He's such a tweaker." " It sucks." " Did you mail the rent?" " You, uh... you didn't leave me a stamp." "Well, maybe you could have gone and bought one." "Ow!" "Chazz!" "What the hell happened to my make-up?" "It fell in the toilet." "Shit!" "Babe, come on." " I told you not to leave it on the tank." " You ruined my make-up, butt!" "What's this attitude, Kayla?" "Know what I've been through today?" "I guess you woke up when the sun was warm and rode your Harley up and down Melrose impressing all the 15-year-old girls, right?" "I was down at Palatine Records." "That's where I was." "Really?" "What happened?" "I had a meeting with a big record executive and, uh..." "What did he say?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Well, we talked about solicitation and the guy said he'd snap us up in a second if it weren't for the lawyers." " Did he like the tape?" " I was about to give it to him then a security guard showed up and ruined everything." "(sighs)" " Come on." " Please." "Hey, it's true." "I'm making really good contacts." "I am." "When they hear this song they'll go apeshit." "It's just gonna take time." "What's the big deal?" "The "big deal" is that I'm doing the bullshit work and you're living the rock 'n' roll life." " I wanna live the life, too." " I'm doing this for us." "Come on, babe." "You know that once I make it you got a free ride." "I'm gonna treat you like gold." "Chazz, it's been months." "Maybe you should get a job." "This is my job." "I am trying managers, record executives, club owners." "That's hard work." "You get to sit in a nice office all day smoking and drinking coffee." " Oh!" " This is bullshit!" " Oh, my snout." " You bastard!" "I hate you." "You are nobody and you are never gonna be anybody." "You're treating me like I'm a goober after I wrote this song for you?" "You wrote that song before you even met me." " So?" " So you get out!" "Get out now!" "Get lost!" " OK, OK, OK, OK." "Kayla!" " Go!" " Keep going!" " Kayla!" "You poser!" "I always knew you were a loser!" "Everyone warned me!" "I hate your music!" "I always have!" "She booted you out again, huh?" "What a bitch." "I mean, that that happened." "Hey, she's gonna be jealous in six months from now when we're on the cover of Rip magazine lookin' cool." " Shut up." " I'm just sayin'." " Rex." " What?" "I told you to stock the end caps and mop the employee lounge." " Too late." "I'm outta here." " I'll tell Covington." "Oh, be quiet." "Hey, Chazz, what's up?" " He's movin' in with us for a while." " Great!" "We can rock out after breakfast." "Things are gonna happen to us no matter what that chimp from Palatine Records says." "You see, that's just it." "You think everything's gonna happen to you." "You gotta make it happen." "How many practices have you missed cos you're cleaning up some stiff's pool?" "Get in the truck, dingus." "I'll be right there." "Man, Chazz is right." "All we gotta do is make our own action, you know?" "That's the way it is, little bro." "D'you think Tommy Lee waited for the bus?" "Man, he hustled." "That's how come he gets to pork Heather Locklear." "Yeah, well, we got the look, man." "We're gonna be huge." "Yeah, we're almost there." "Chazz says once we get a contract, chicks with breast implants pick out your clothes." "Cover your mouth." "You're shooting phlegm all over my ass." "Say "gesundheit"." "I say it for you, man." "Honey, I'm home." " Hey, Pip, check this out." " Oh!" "Oh!" "The Incredible Crash Dummies." "Whoo!" "You must have five-fingered most of the store by now." "Oh, man." "Most of these guns are discontinued anyway." "Like this Uzi water pistol." "They got rid of it cos it looked too real." " Yo!" " (baby voice) Mama." "Wow." "Now you got yourself a whole arsenal here." "(electronic siren)" "What are you doing?" "Pepper sauce." "Active ingredient: capsicum." "You blast this in somebody's face and they're all like "Oh!" "Oh!"" "Some Hollywood Boulevard trash comes shimmying up the rain pipe..." " Hey!" " Whoa!" "(cheering)" "Listen up, you lowlifes, what the hell are we doin' here on a Thursday night?" "That's right." "Rock 'n' roll!" "OK, we're here to party tonight with our little buddies the Sons of Thunder." "Sons of Thunder?" "Didn't we blow them off the stage at Chez Bang six months ago?" "So why don't all you little idiots press your faces up against the speakers and blow your brains out!" "Look at this crap." "What do we give away first, hats or hair-care products?" "Girls, you wanna get us a couple of drinks, please?" "Ooh, serious bumper." "You wanna punch it up, Ian?" "You're as spunky as a corpse." "The Sons of Thunder, for Christ's sake?" "Pablum." " How can you even tell these bands apart?" " I read the trades." "First of all I'd like to say thanks to Ian and Rebel Radio for playing our single and basically getting us signed." "Is this on?" "# Don't hate me" "Look at them stupid pantaloons." " That's what we gotta do." " Looks like they got a load in them pants." "No, they played this song on the radio, and they got an album." "That's what we gotta do." "# Your lips are full, your head is empty" "# This faded Valentine is what you sent me" "All we've got to do is get 'em to play the tape and we're golden." " This is never gonna work." " Pip, what is your problem?" "Remember that guy Doper Greg?" "Remember that guy, man?" "He used to blow bong hits in his iguana's face and make the thing watch cartoons." " So what?" "Will you shut up?" " Just get to the point." "What?" "He won a radio giveaway and when he went to the station they wouldn't let him in." "It was like this total security building." "They slid his ticket through a slot with salad tongs." "So just because that anus couldn't get in means that we can't?" "If anybody gives us any static, I shove this in their face." "Agh!" "But remember that fat kid on Hard Copy with a toy gun?" "The cop zapped him with a Taser till he went bald." "Then he sued for a million bucks when his pubes didn't grow." "He's still got no hair on his balls, man." "(Rex) Go to the back." "(computer game bleeping)" " It's locked." " Pip, give me your bank card." " Come on, let's go." "I'll get this door open." " Let's go, let's go, let's go." "Piece of cake." "Watch this." " What's your secret code?" " Huh?" "What for?" "That's how these things work." " I can't tell you my code." " Will you tell him the code?" "And hurry up." "You punch it in, OK?" "Please don't look." " Hey!" "The thing took my card!" " Oh, shit." "All right." "Stand back." "What are you doing, MacGyver?" "Open it up." "I'm gonna short-circuit it." " Nah." " We almost got in." "That's too bad." "Let's go." " Hey, Pip, you quitting on us?" " The door's locked." "You flake!" "You don't care about this band." "You run around all day in your fudgies." " Not true." " It is too!" " I always gotta tell you to put pants on." " He's making this up!" "Will you both shut up, please?" "!" "OK." "You're brothers, all right?" "We haven't lucked out yet." "Stay here, Pip." "Agh!" "You got a big mouth, man!" "Hey, Pip." "(screams)" "Oh, my God." "Pip." "Pip." "Oh, my..." "Here." "Are you all right?" "Cos I'm really sorry." "I just came out for a cigarette." " It's all right." "Don't worry about it." " I'm really sorry." "I just came out and bonk!" " Hi." " Hi." "Suzzi, caller 50 needs some tickets." "Shit." "I gotta go." "Bye." "Yeah!" "Sweetness." "Come on." "There we go." "(Ian talking on radio)" "You wanna make a change, right?" "Get serious about your look at Hair Bomb on Melrose." " What, Doug?" " Um, here, see." "It's all there." "Coloring, razor cuts, popcorn, perms and weaves." "It brings out the rock star in you." " Well, this is beautiful." " Well, I try to be a team player." "I may need you to come in tomorrow." "I'm cutting loose some dead weight." "There'll be a lot going on." "Oh, boy." " What's the problem?" " Well, I've been having a little bit of, uh..." " ...itching on my..." "It could be hemorrhoids." " I don't wanna hear that." "I know." "It's just that I made an appointment with my proctologist to get some type of cream or something." "So you're gonna leave me high and dry?" "That's a nice team attitude." "Well, I suppose I could come in for most of Saturday." " And Sunday." " Well, yeah, yeah." "Now, when are you planning on breaking this to everyone?" "I thought I'd wait for exactly the right moment." "I mean, these things require a certain measure of delicacy." "(# rock intro)" "# Are you ready" "# To rumble?" "(man) Sunday!" "Swamp motorcycle racing at its best." "The USSCA brings you the ultimate in swamp-race action." "60,000 cubic feet of muddy slop poured into..." "Hey." "We're a band." "Of course." "The Partridge Family." "Which one of you is Laurie?" " Get out." " We came to talk to you about a demo tape." "We were wondering if you could set us up like you did with the Sons of Thunder." "How did you morons get in?" "They've got electronic locks on the doors." "We had to break in." " This place is sealed up like a dolphin's butt." " Watertight!" "Let me get this straight." "Um..." "You guys are an unsigned band and you broke into the radio station to get your demo played on the air?" " That's about the skinny of it." " And what sound are you megastars of the future hip to?" "What is your musical vibe?" " Well..." " That's a good question." " We could play anything." " Not that slap-bass noise." "I hate that." " It's more like a power slop." " But we don't limit ourselves to labels." "(Chazz) There's always someone who wants to lump you together with the other buttholes." "This is one of the things we're struggling against." " I'm telling you, it is tough." " This guy knows." "I got booted out of Palatine Records, my girlfriend kicks me out of the apartment..." "Well, I'm sorry." "I'm just trying to conjure up the kind of woman who would go out with you." "She's not like what you'd think." "She's actually really cool and, well, I guess what it all comes down to is that we really care about each other and I screwed up." "She's been there for me from the beginning." "I think I let her down, but I still want us to be tight." "Uh-oh, I think we're busted." " What did I do now?" " Get these guys out." "Are we still on air?" "Milo, I get six minutes of talk an hour." "What do you care how I spend them?" "Get these morons off the air." "I'm warning you." " Ease up." "Somebody gave you a break once." " Even though you're a goon." "I say we make this an open forum." "Let's hear the man out." "Go ahead, Conan." "Explain to Milo why we should play your tape." "I'm not pulling pud here." "My entire life force is on this tape and I don't know what else to say." "Come on, man, can you give us a shot?" " How can you say no to that?" " You're on thin ice." "You're not untouchable." " You think you are, but you're not." " Get out." "Without me you have no ratings." "We'll see about that." "Let's go." "Out!" "All you losers." " Get your hands off me, Jackson." " You wanna try gettin' physical with me?" "Listen, you shaved ape, I could have you picking up garbage for the rest of the decade." "You wanna get smart with me?" "Try it." "I will not be pushed around by Hollywood Boulevard trash like you." "I'm trash?" "You think you're better than me?" "Huh?" " Oops." " He's got a gun!" "He's got a gun!" "Hey, stop squirming, pussy!" "I'll fill your face so full of lead, you'll be shitting bullets for a week!" " Come on, Rex." " Shut up." " Ian, you wanna talk to these fellas?" " What do you suggest?" " Say something." "They like you." " Shut up, dick-smoke!" "Chazz, come on." "All right." "You would've been cool, but then this penis had to step in and get heavy." "All we wanna do is to be heard, and then go." "Believe me, I understand." "Just cool it, huh?" "Why don't you cut your losses?" "You're in over your head." "Shut your face!" "Just shut your stupid face!" "I know exactly what I'm doing." "That's the problem with you guys." "You think cos you have a big job you know something." " Wrong!" "You got Hagar slacks, a pony-nub." " Bet it ain't even real." " Ow!" " (Ian) Hey, hey, hey." "Just cool it, huh?" "Hey, guys, we're all rock 'n' rollers here." "You look like half a butt-puppet that..." "Do you know what it's like to be on the bill, play for 15 minutes and the only people there are the other bands?" "Don't talk to me about rock 'n' roll!" "I'm out there in the clubs living it!" "I am rock 'n' roll!" "It's guys like you and Jimmie Wing that ruin everything..." " ...for everyone." " Jimmie, they're talking about you on KPPX." "Come here." "Then you realize there's a million of these Jimmie Wing bone-smugglers." "These guys are running the industry and they don't know a damn thing about rock 'n' roll!" "OK." "Hello." "Police." "I'll tell you what, Mr. Program-Director Man, you put our goddamn tape on the air." "It's gonna get some airplay or my man's gonna gank you here and now!" " Shit, yeah." " Well, let's not go ganking anyone." " Um, if we play the tape, will you go?" " That's all we need, d-cheese." "Play the thing, Milo." "Do what he says." "Play it!" "What are you waiting for?" " Sorry about all this." "Enjoy." " I can't wait." "We can't play this tape." "We're only set up for CDs and cassettes." "We should've brought a cassette." "A cassette makes my background vocal sound like someone's stepping on my nuts." " God." "Mr. Perfectionist." " Quit necking." "All we got was a quarter-inch." "There's gotta be a reel-to-reel." "Find it." "It's a radio station." "Yeah." "That's it there." "Milo, didn't I tell you to knock when you come in?" "Just keep quiet and get that reel-to-reel deck down to the booth." "Telling me to shut up now?" "A brother can't talk without the white man slap him down." "Just do it, Marcus!" "Damn." "White man with a gun." "Same shit been happenin' to my people for 425-odd years." "Hey, you like working here, man?" "We're down, man." "Hendrix was God." "You wanna take a step back?" "You're standing on my dick, man!" "Yeah, I seen that." "Anthrax and Public Enemy, that was outta control, man." "Together, you know." "You catch that one, G?" "Don't call me G." " What do you want me to call you?" " Hey, come on." "All right, that's it." "I can't wait for you to put that gun down, cos when you do we're gonna throw down." "That's right." "We're gonna get serious." "Mano a swine." "Hey, look, just shut your pie hole and keep working." "Pie hole?" "That supposed to be some Cracker slang?" "(Rex) Come on, let's go." "Agh!" "Ooh!" "Ooh!" "You can't smoke here, babe." "Yeah?" "What am I doin' now?" "You should put it out." "The smoke could damage the equipment." " Are you ready?" " Almost." "OK, give us a real nice intro." "And don't say anything about us having a gun to your head." " OK, who are you guys?" " My name's Pip." " The band." "The band name." " Sorry about that." " He doesn't wear a helmet, does he?" " It's right there on the box." "Read it." ""The Lone Rangers." That's original." " How can you pluralize "The Lone Ranger"?" " What's wrong with that?" "Well, there's three of you." "You're not exactly lone." "Shouldn't you be The Three Rangers?" "I've no idea what you're saying right now." " You lost me." " Forget it, Ian." "Just play the thing!" "Yeah, forget it." "Come on, just play it." "Listen up, guppies, Ian the Shark is back and have I got a surprise for you." "I've got goose bumps, frankly." "For the first time ever, I'm willing to bet here's that hit single by The Lone Rangers." "(# rock drumbeat)" "(music speeds up)" " Turn it off!" "Come on, man." " What did you do?" "What you doing?" " Tonto must have loaded the tape in wrong." " Hey, your machine dilapitatled it, man." "Hey!" "Oh, what?" "!" "Hey!" "Oh!" " Hey, that's my jacket!" " Put it out!" "Please!" " Oh, man." "The demo's wasted." " What are we gonna do now?" "Run!" "It's the inbreeding." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" " Man." " How'd they know we were here?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "OK." "Look, maybe they're just on patrol." "All right, we didn't do nothing, right?" " What?" " You go." "You guys suck." "Everything's all right." "It's cool." "Let me in!" "Let me in!" "I don't wanna go to jail." "I'm fragile." "Go!" "Argh!" "Shit!" "We're surrounded." "Why don't we give ourselves up?" "We could say we were joking around." "They'll cart us off before you can say "Rudolph Redpecker"." " Well, you didn't have to break out the gun." " They wouldn't play the tape." " You didn't have to do that!" " Shut up." " You shut up!" " Both of you shut up!" "If we go outside, we get roped." "We stay and figure it out." "Excuse me?" " Oh, jeez." " More people." "OK." "We round everyone up, put 'em in the station and nobody leaves until we figure this out." "What was she on the Clydesdale scale?" "Yeah, that's where you gotta figure how many Clydesdales it'd take to tear her off your face." "Later." "Let's go." "I knew from looking at him that he was a bomb about to go off." "A big fat media bomb!" "They're gonna be all over the news now." "Time magazine, Larry King Live." "If the song's in English, it's a gold record." "Come on, come on, let's go." "Hi again." "Hi." "Hey, hey, you guys think you're gonna waste anybody?" "Cos if you are, pop Milo first." "That guy's a bozo de luxe." "Uh-huh?" "Go." "(clattering)" "Perhaps it won't be long until this thing blows over." "Argh!" "Argh!" "All right, everybody on the floor right now." "Do you mind if I sit in a chair?" "I don't wanna get all cruddy." " Uh, yeah." " Thank you." "If she doesn't sit on the floor, I don't know why I have to." "You heard the man." "Hit the deck or I smoke you." "Sit down on the floor now!" "Everybody else gets to sit in a chair except for you." "Are we... are we still on the air?" " Have you made contact?" " No." "One guy came out, but he went back in." "Have Dispatch give us their number." "Let's call them." " You getting this, Wilson?" " Establish contact, ensure it's no false alarm." "I know the procedure." " Could I get something to eat, man?" " You hungry, buddy?" "Hey, Chazz." "Chazz." "What?" " Why is everyone staring at me?" " That guy says he's hungry." "Who gives a shit?" "!" "I'm trying to think here, OK?" "(rings)" "KPPX, where the action never stops." "Oh, hi." "Well, there's three psychotic musicians with guns." "How would you feel?" "I have no idea." "The leader?" "Hold on." "It's the police." "They wanna talk to you." "He doesn't wanna talk." "What am I supposed to do, beg him?" "What are you doing to get us out of here?" "OK, fine." "He wants you to go out and talk to him." "Bag that." "What for?" "He wants to know your demands for releasing the hostages." " Oh, my God!" " Demands?" "What's he mean by "hostages"?" "I've got a reality check for you, curly." "What you're doing is a felony, maybe worse." " What are your demands?" " Nothing." "I just don't wanna go outside." "OK." "Come here, come here." " What do we need?" " A hockey stick up the backside of his head." "I'm warning you." "Don't bring Chazz down!" "Thank you, Rex." "All right." "Now, what do we want?" "Uh, Chazz?" "I like your hair." " What's that?" " My name's Suzzi, with two z's." " Oh, hi." " Hi." "So you, like, answer the phones and all that stuff?" "Mm-hm." "Yeah, for, like, six hours a day." "Oh, what a drag, huh?" "I understand you're trying to make a statement, but this is getting out of hand." "Hey, come on, you know where I'm coming from." "Be a sport, will ya?" "All right, but can we move this along?" "Now, why did you come here?" "I came here for a lousy three minutes and 31 seconds of airplay." "That's it." "Fine." "Now there's cops outside with guns, and you're holding people hostage, right?" " Uh, yeah." " On top of that, your tape is destroyed." "So, there's only one thing that you can do." "Get the other copy of the demo." "Yeah!" "Rex!" "(rock music)" "Bastard!" "(Chazz and Kayla) You called on the phone, but we're not at home." "(Chazz) Leave a message for Chazz." "We'll call you back soon, so don't have a spaz!" "(answering machine beeps)" "Come on, come on." "Stay back now!" "Back there!" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "I want you to control this crowd." "If they give you any trouble, cuff 'em and throw 'em in the squad car." "Technically I can't do that, Sergeant." "The Civilian Review..." "I know what the Civilian Review Committee says, but they're not doing crowd control." "Listen, when you're in the line of fire you do what's necessary to get the job done." "You don't break the law but occasionally you bend it." "When that time comes, improvise." "Yes, sir." "Cover me." "(crowd whistles and cheers)" "Get your hands up over your head." "Get down on the pavement!" "Get down!" " What the f..." " Sergeant." "What?" "You men, back off." "Get back, goddammit!" "Put those guns down!" "It's OK." "You can get up when..." "Goddammit, get back!" "What the hell is this?" "You invited me to come out!" "You surprised us." "I'm Sergeant O'Malley." "I'm here to work with you." " What's your name?" " My rhythm section's watching me!" "Nobody's gonna hurt you." "Everybody OK?" " They're all fine." "My name's Chazz." " Great." "It's good to meet you, Chazz." "Tell me what I can do to get you to end this." " You gotta find my tape." " Sure." "OK." "What kind of tape is it?" "It's a demo tape." "We wanna play it on the air." "You wanna play this tape on the radio, then you'll come out?" "Right." "The machine inside ate the original." "My girlfriend's got the only other copy." " Give me her number." "I'll call her." " I already tried that." "She's off for the night." " You're gonna have to find her." " Where is she?" "I don't know." "Try the Strip somewhere." "Maybe The Whisky." "She's..." "She's totally pissed at me, but..." "Is that her?" "She's a... real looker." "Yeah." "Why don't black people like me?" " Excuse me?" " It's just that I listen to a lot of rap music and I know how angry black people are." "And I feel bad for all you guys gotta put up with." "Well, that's very nice of you." "How about when you go into a store and all the clerks start staring' at you like you're gonna rob the place and you're like "I just wanna buy something"?" "That's never happened." "Does that happen to you?" "Ah, no, but I'm just saying that would be bad if it did." "Look at Chazz doing his thing." "Listen, Chazz this is gonna take some time, OK?" "You have to send out one of the hostages just as a sign of good faith." "That's my rules." "All right, fine." "You have your orders, Chief." "Now get cracking." " (screams) - (cheering)" "It's more like power slop but with an edge." "OK." "The cops are going to get Kayla." "I cut a deal with them." "We've gotta send one person out." "Please." "I'll go." " A hostage, doof." " Sorry." "But not me, man." "It's just too cool." "Why don't we let Yvonne go, man?" "She's very nice." "Wait a minute." "I don't see why you automatically have to choose a woman." "Well, it's kind of sexist, don't you think?" "I mean, we could draw straws." " We could..." " OK." "Yvonne, go." "You'll be home in time for The Simpsons." "(Marcus) Stay strong, sister." "(Pip) Congratulations." "Hey, butterball, I think you're exceeding the maximum weight limit for that belt." "(O'Malley) Wilson, get over here!" "I'm sending out a sweep of Sunset Strip for the girlfriend." "I want you there to supervise." "Whoa." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "(motor starts)" "Argh!" " Whoa, look, we got fans." " I didn't know that many people knew us." " (cheering)" " Hey, hold this." "Thanks." "Hey!" " I'm gonna miss Yvonne." " Let me tell you something." "Don't chitchat with them." "They're not buddies." "They're hostages." "I was trying to be nice." "I know, but then every time you tell somebody to get on the floor they're gonna be like "Even me, Pip?" "I thought we had something going."" "You gotta scare these people." "Practice." "Just try it." "I just feel a little goofy trying to be a badass with a water pistol." "They don't know that." "They think it's real." "Now show me what you got." "Come on." "OK." "Get over there, please." "Thank you." "What are you, a crack baby?" "Give me that." "I'll show you." "All right." "Hey, you!" "You shut your mouth, you bastard or I'll stab your eyeballs out and piss all over your brain!" "It's gonna be a slaughterhouse, with bodies flying through the air like dolls on fire!" "Oh, my God." " OK?" " OK, all right." "Thank you." " All right, against the wall." " Come on, tough, tough!" " Seriously, move it." " I'm not scared, Pip." "Come on." " I'm gonna stab your heads off." " With what?" "With what?" " With my dick!" " Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Blood's gonna come out of your head and there's nothing you can do about it cos I'm a madman!" " That's good."
