Man 3:
If the world that we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true, then everything is possible.

Man 4:
On the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path to what we desire.

Man 2:
The comfort will never be comfortable for those who seek what is not on the market. A systematic questioning of the idea of happiness.

Man 1:
We'll cut the vocal chords of every empowered speaker. We'll yank the social symbols through the looking glass. We'll devalue society's currency. To confront the familiar.

Man 4:
Society is a fraud so complete and venal that it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence.

Man 3:
Where there is fire we will carry gasoline

Man 4:
Interrupt the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal expectations that go with it.

Man 2:
To live as if something actually depended on one's actions

Man 1:
To rupture the spell of the ideology of commodified consumer society, so our repressed desires of more authentic nature can come forward.

Man 3:
To demonstrate the contrast between what life presently is and what it could be.

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

Man 2:
There will be an intensity never before known in everyday life to exchange love and hate, life and death, terror and redemption, repulsions and attractions.

Man 3:
An affirmation of freedom so reckless and unqualified, that it amounts to a total denial of every kind of restraint and limitation.
