Contemplating Death and Its Horrors
Trash Do you ever wonder about all the different ways of dying? You know, violently? And wonder, like, what would be the most horrible way to die?
Spider I try not too think about dying too much.
Trash Mm. Well for me, the worst way would be for a bunch of old men to get around me, and start biting and eating me alive.
Spider I see.
Trash First, they would tear off my clothes...
Chuck Hey, somebody get some light over here, Trash is taking off her clothes again.

Bodhi 90 seconds Johnny. That's all I ask for, just 90 seconds of your life Johnny, that's it. This is our tactic, is we strike fear. It's basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that's how people get hurt.
[getting ready for their next robbery]
Bodhi Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation causes your worst fears to come true.

Johnny Utah I can't do this.
Bodhi Yes, you can. Who knows, you might like it.
Johnny Utah Bodhi, this is your fucking wake-up call man. I am an F, B, I, Agent!
Bodhi Yeah, I know man. Ain't it wild? That's what makes it so interesting. You can do what you want, and make up your own rules. Why be a servant to the law, when you can be its master?
Grommet Fuckin A!
Nathanial I love this job.
