100% pure adrenaline!
Goddamn! You are one radical son of a bitch!
If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.
I hate this Johnny. I really do. I hate violence. That is why I had Rosie do this, I could never do that man, I could never hold a knife to Tyler's throat, she was my woman, we shared time. But, Rosie, he's like a machine. He's got this gift of blankness. Once you set him in motion, he will not stop. So, when three o'clock comes, he will gut her like a pig, and try not to get any on his shoes and there is nothing I can do.
I know Johnny. I know you want me so bad it's like acid in your mouth. But, not this time.
Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?
They only live to get radical.
Yo, Johnny! I see you in the next life!
Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.
That's what I love about you johnny...you're just as sharp as a razor.
