How much time do I want?
I want... I want... How much time do I have.
Why you... why you.. I want.. I want...
no one knows... where I'm going.
You know we've been talking about you downstairs and
we think perhaps you are not being realistic-that perhaps
you are being unrealistic... it seems that you are not-
we think that you have not faced up to what is going on...
Better?
Better?

Are you sure, perhaps, you know,
you've gone insane...

HOW ARE YOU, ANYWAY?
GET OUT OF HERE

You are the love of my life
I have never loved anyone like this before
and I never will again
don't go...
I'm sorry, miss
you can't come in now
he has developed shingles
and you could contract it
and it might be meningitis and
not be able to have children...
Children children children
Children children children
Children children children
Children children children
Am I having children?
When my baby is dying
When my baby is dying
THIS IS MY BLOOD

I dreamed I stuck a gun to my head and I dreamed
I was lying in a pool of blood
and they looked down at me
and said,
"It's over now...
it's over now...
Now, at least, he is in peace
FREE
FREE
FREE
FREE
turn the fuckin' light off!
I dreamed I was lying in the green grass
and the wind was blowing softly
and blue was everywhere
and I saw heads popping out through the grass
and it seemed as if they knew me...
"Hi Dimitri, Hi Dimitri, Hi Dimitri. Hi Dimitri"
"Heaven... Heaven...
BLACK

LACK
Heaven... I see Heaven...
