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.

1:01:00
You need any help
getting down, sir?

1:01:05
No, I don't think so.
1:01:07
Stupid bastard.
1:01:10
No worse than us.
He's all action and no theory.

1:01:14
We're all theory
and no actions.

1:01:25
Why so glum,
Mr. Deborg?

1:01:29
What was missing
was felt irretrievable.

1:01:33
The extreme
uncertainties...

1:01:36
of subsisting
without working...

1:01:39
made excesses necessary...
1:01:42
and breaks definitive.
1:01:45
To quote Stevenson:
1:01:47
"Suicide carried off many.
1:01:51
" Drink and the devil...
1:01:55
took care of the rest."
