| Quotes |
Anton:
Hey, I didn't kill anyone on purpose, okay? Mick: Yeah, well, we weren't in hell! I mean, there was this bright white light at the end of a long tunnel, right, and there was these chicks' voices, and that music... Anton: Music? Pnub: Yeah, kinda uncool music, like, Enya. And these chicks' voices, they were saying, "come to us, come towards the light". Anton: So what happened? Mick: We figured, fuck it, I mean, it was really far! See more » |
