:59:00
It's all these layers.
:59:03
And, uh, I was in and out
of the holy moment, looking at you.

:59:07
Can be in a holy--
You're unique that way, Caveh.

:59:11
That's one
of the reasons I enjoy you.

:59:13
You can...
bring me into that.

:59:36
If the world that we are forced
to accept is false and nothing is true,

:59:40
then everything
is possible.

:59:42
On the way to discovering what we love,
we will find everything we hate,

:59:45
everything that blocks
our path to what we desire.

:59:47
The comfort will never be
comfortable for those who seek
what is not on the market.

:59:50
A systematic questioning
of the idea of happiness.

:59:53
We'll cut the vocal chords
of every empowered speaker.

:59:55
We'll yank the social symbols
through the looking glass.
We'll devalue society's currency.

:59:59
To confront
the familiar.

1:00:01
Society is a fraud
so complete and venal...

1:00:04
that it demands to be destroyed
beyond the power of memory
to recall its existence.

1:00:08
Where there's fire,
we will carry gasoline.

1:00:11
Interrupt the continuum
of everyday experience...

1:00:13
and all the normal
expectations that go with it.

1:00:15
To live as if something
actually depended on one's actions.

1:00:18
To rupture the spell of the ideology
of the commodified consumer society...

1:00:22
so that our oppressed desires of a more
authentic nature can come forward.

1:00:25
To demonstrate the contrast between what
life presently is and what it could be.

1:00:29
To immerse ourselves in the oblivion of
actions and know we're making it happen.

1:00:32
There will be an intensity
never before known in everyday life...

1:00:35
to exchange love and hate,
life and death,

1:00:37
terror and redemption,
repulsions and attractions.

1:00:39
An affirmation of freedom
so reckless and unqualified,

1:00:42
that it amounts to a total denial of
every kind of restraint and limitation.

1:00:56
- Hey, old man,
what you doing up there?
- I'm not sure.
