Sal: I want to see a movie that's about someone; a character you care about that overcomes something difficult and then you can get behind them and root for them. I'm not saying they should all be like Rocky but that was a damn good movie. Then they ruined it with that stupid Russian guy.
Mark Williams: Booze is a second class drug; like crack, heroin, all that shit. They close your mind down instead of opening it up. Everyone has filters built into their brains. These filters, they're put there genetically, you're just born with them in place. And you also get some more from your parents - religion, fear of death. Everything we see and feel and hear and all we perceive is through these filters. The only way to control them, and only temporarily, is through certain mind expanding compounds (hands a pill to Sal).
