I really loved that guy. 24 00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:32,290 But everything went wrong. In the beginning we were fooling around, you know playfighting 25 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,290 and we rolled down onto the tracks... 26 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,870 and it was like the entire tunnel was being illuminated, in slow motion... 27 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:49,240 I was really drunk, but it was like my whole consciousness was like... 28 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,180 Lets fold down the roof. 29 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,189 Did you know that Strunge thought he could fly? 30 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,189 Strunge.

He was in that state when you feel detached from gravity. 33 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,430 When you know that you can transcend into a higher state. When you stand above... 34 00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,430 Fuck it. When he threw himself out of the window he thought he could fly. 35 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,540 Get real. It's true.
