I really loved that guy. 24 00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:47,290 But everything went wrong. In the beginning we were fooling around, you know playfighting 25 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,290 and we rolled down onto the tracks... 26 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,870 and it was like the entire tunnel was being illuminated, in slow motion... 27 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:04,240 I was really drunk, but it was like my whole consciousness was like... 28 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,180 Lets fold down the roof. 29 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,189 Did you know that Strunge thought he could fly? 30 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,189 Strunge.

Well, everyone thought he threw himself out the window because he was depressed. 32 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,720 But he wasn't. He was in that state when you feel detached from gravity. 33 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,430 When you know that you can transcend into a higher state. When you stand above... 34 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,430 Fuck it. When he threw himself out of the window he thought he could fly. 35 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,540 Get real. It's true.
