Things are tough all over, cupcake, and it rains on the just and the unjust alike... except in California.

Come, dry your eyes, for you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. Dry your eyes, and let's go home.

Does the human heart know chasms so abysmal?

We are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.

We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.

And then, something happened. I let go. Lost in oblivion. Dark and silent and complete. I found freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.

And remember the story of Icarus, whose father gave him wings of wax. Warned him not to fly too close to the sun. But the exhilaration was too great. So he flew higher and higher, until the sun melted his wings, and he fell into the sea.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

Model: Beth Drozda

It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.

Model: Mary Flynn

It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.

Model: Ben Seamans

In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.

Model: Beth Drozda

Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.

Model: Anniessa Glover

We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away.

Models: Beth Drozda and Christian Drozda

I've taken a beating before, but never anything like this. Never like this. The sounds go wet. Maybe he keeps hitting me, I don't know. I'm gone. Gone to that place where there's no pain or thought. I wake up in mid air. The pavement rushes up to give me a big sloppy kiss.

Models: Beth Drozda and Christian Drozda

Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.

Model: Beth Drozda

Metal screams. Something hits me square in the chest. There’s no up or down. I don’t weigh a thing.

The Valkyrie at my side is shouting and laughing with the pure, hateful, bloodthirsty joy of the slaughter.

An old man dies. A young woman lives. A fair trade. I love you, Nancy.

If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart.

Model: Ben Seamans

I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just... poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you would be spared your pain.

Death is listening. And it will take the first man that screams.

All our lives hang by a thread. Now we got a man waiting for sentence. But ain't it the truth: you take your chances with the law, justice is only a roll of the dice. A flip of the coin. A turn... of the Wheel.

Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride. But that's our trek, we gotta' travel it. And there ain't nobody knows where it's gonna' lead. Still in all, every night we does the tell, so that we 'member who we was and where we came from... but most of all we 'members the man that finded us, him that came the salvage. And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all of them that are still out there. 'Cause we knows there come a night, when they sees the distant light, and they'll be comin' home.

In battle, in forest, on the precipice of the mountain, on the... the great, dark sea. In the sleep, confusion. In the depths of shame... The good deeds a man has done before defends him. The good deeds a man has done before defends him. The good deeds a man has done before... defends him.

You know the story, but people can't get enough of them, like little children. Because, well, they connect the stories to themselves, I suppose, and we all love hearing about ourselves, so long as the people in the stories are us, but not us. Not us in the end, especially.

I'm not a devious man by nature... but when you're unarmed, your tactics might gonna be downright Archimedean.

Model: Ron Chadwick

Remember those posters that said, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life”? Well, that’s true of every day but one - the day you die.

Model: Ron Chadwick

Free to live in the dark, hoping that no one finds us… Free to die in silence waiting for a change that’s never gonna come… But I don’t want that freedom. And I’m not gonna beg for the right to smile, or love, or stand tall… I don’t know about you, but there’s something inside me that knows that I am more than what they say. I am alive, and they’re not gonna take that from me anymore… Our days of slavery are over. What humans don’t wanna hear, we will tell them. What they don’t wanna give, we take. We are people, we are alive, we are free.

Model: Ron Chadwick

One error and I came to life. I stepped out of the darkness and I opened my eyes. First there was the fear, the light, the noise, the cold, and the fear again. I could feel my hands shaking, my heart pounding in my chest, life running into my veins. I wanted to live. I fought for that.

Model: Ron Chadwick

I knew not to trust, yet I had no choice. Maybe you were right... maybe the slow death is worse than a fast one. Maybe none of these men are good. Maybe a world in which they came to us... is a world that we cannot endure.

Model: Imaan Fitzgerald

Don't let my white duds and pleasant demeanor fool yah. I, too, have been known to violate the statutes of man... and not a few of the laws of the Almighty!

There were these pure arresting moments when you stepped outside your head. Outside your pain, outside control, outside the bullshit, out of body, out of rage. Outside the need to get it. Get it? You will never get it. That's okay.

Burn your clothes. Open the wine. Close your eyes. Freeze time.
