You get strong and you blow again. So how long can a man live this way? I__l tell you_until he dies, if need be. It becomes a way of life, but I don__ remember it, why?

Sometimes people would get on airplanes which were supposed to fly tosomeplace, and they would offer to put holes in the pilot and co-pilot unless they flewthe airplane to someplace else.

Today, these doormen, they wear body armour, armoured gloves, stab proof vests and all sorts; it__ totally changed, you get shot at the door you are paid to stand at, never mind getting stabbed. Druggies go away, get a gun, return and start shooting at you! Yeah, times are changing fast and there are some nice kids out there and some of them are fucking wild. I can__ see it getting better with these drug mugs because they get on them and they can__ get off them again.
