You couldn't ask for anything better.
I think it was recorded too high.

1:11:03
Give it all you got.
What take is this?

1:11:06
- Sixteen.
- This is take sixteen.

1:11:08
- Let's go. Take 30.
- It's all right--

1:11:09
- Hold up. Take 30.
- It's all right! It's okay!

1:11:13
Jesus told me so!
There's something to live for!

1:11:17
Okay. Cut. Take 31.
1:11:19
Ain't that enough now?
1:11:21
- No, listen--
- I ain't gonna do this anymore.

1:11:23
That's all for me.
Good-bye.

1:11:25
Okay. I'm gonna see
what we have to work with.

1:11:29
I'm gonna--
Jesus Christ, man.

1:11:36
And it's like the room was filled with
this thick green and red web, you know?

1:11:42
And it's coming out of Laura,
and it's coming out of the table...

1:11:45
and it's coming out of the walls,
and it's coming out of the floor.

1:11:49
You know?
And all of a sudden...

1:11:50
my face hit a table, you know,
and I blacked out.

1:11:53
So Laura dragged me outside
and laid me on the grass...

1:11:57
you know, hoping I'd wake up.
1:11:59
And then her grandma came home,
who she lived with, you know...

1:12:03
and her grandma called an ambulance.
1:12:06
So I'm laying in the hospital,
passed out.

1:12:10
They got my brain on a brain scanner.
1:12:13
You know how your brain's
supposed to go beep, beep, beep?

1:12:17
Well, mine just went--
1:12:18
Straight across, you know?
1:12:20
And the doctor goes to my ma...
1:12:23
"I don't think
your son is gonna make it.

1:12:25
Sorry. I think he's gonna die.
1:12:28
I don't think there's any way
we can wake him up or nothing."

1:12:32
So, all of a sudden,
I smell this real strong smell.

1:12:37
And it's smelling salts
they got in front of my nose.

1:12:40
I start to wake up,
and all I see is bright lights.

1:12:42
I'm like,
"Damn, where the hell am I?"

1:12:45
Then I realize I'm in the hospital,
so I check my pockets for the acid.

1:12:50
They analyzed one hit,
and it turned out to be...

1:12:53
blotter paper dipped in liquid P.C.P.
with a little bit of downer in it.

1:12:59
They said if it hadn't been for that
little bit of downer, I'd be dead.
