:28:04
Styles, can I ask you something?
:28:06
Do you really like working
on Cane's stuff?

:28:10
Do you really like
busting people?

:28:12
Yeah. I bustfrauds,
I bust phonies...

:28:15
and, yeah, I love it.
:28:16
Have you ever busted
anyone you know?

:28:18
Yeah, sure I did.
:28:20
Didn't make any difference.
:28:21
You see, in my business,
you soon find out...

:28:24
that anybody's
capable of anything.

:28:26
If you can think of it,
they've done it.

:28:29
Doesn't leave you much
to believe in.

:28:31
Yeah.
But think of the upside...

:28:32
it doesn't leave you much
to be disappointed in, either.

:28:35
Believe me, the sooner we're off
the planet, the better.

:28:38
Now you sound like Cane.
:28:41
No, not me.
:28:42
You're the Cane lover.
:28:45
I just like being scared.
:28:47
Cane's work scares me.
:28:48
What's to be scared about?
:28:50
It's not like it's real
or anything.

:28:52
It's not real
from your point of view...

:28:53
and right now reality
shares your point of view.

:28:55
What scares me
about Cane's work...

:28:57
is what might happen if reality
shared his point of view.

:29:00
Whoa. We're not talking
about reality here.

:29:02
We're talking aboutfiction.
It's different, you know.

:29:04
A reality is just what
we tell each other it is.

:29:08
Sane and insane could
easily switch places...

:29:10
if the insane were
to become the majority.

:29:12
You wouldfind yourseif
locked in a padded cell...

:29:15
wondering what happened
to the world.

:29:19
No, that wouldn't happen to me.
:29:21
It would if you realized...
:29:23
everything you ever knew
was gone.

:29:26
It'd be pretty lonely
being the last one left.

:29:34
Not only in Manhattan proper...
:29:36
but there was that incident
in Long Island...

:29:38
that was also related to it.
:29:40
Come on, I don't buy this.
I mean, what are you saying?

:29:43
That there's some kind
of disease...

:29:44
that's spreading
across the country?

:29:45
It is an addiction
that people have at this time...

:29:48
fantasy-creating
out of the written material.

:29:51
How could it be addicting?
:29:53
Look, I mean this is words.
