00:06 First of all, tell me the story about the film.
00:07 Two minutes left.
00:08 Two minutes left to set it up, so it'll never work for two minutes.
00:10 No, no, no. George, you think it'll work for two minutes?
00:11 Huh?
00:12 You think we'll get the story in two minutes?

00:22 How could you tell a Stephen Prince story in two minutes?

01:21 Heroin always interested me.
01:23 And I got started using heroin every once in a while.

01:33 He said, "Yeah, sure, yeah, I know Joey."
01:37 "Well, you're sitting on him."
01:39 I said, "Oh, oh, yeah?"
01:43 The guy's dead.
01:44 Dad, you wanna kill yourself?
01:46 Is that what you wanna do?
01:47 You wanna go out that way?
01:49 And Steven says to me, "That's not a bad way to go.
01:54 "I mean, you just get higher and higher and higher
01:59 "and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher."

02:43 the most that you can tell?
02:44 - Yeah, I think what Tarantino took.
02:50 - I got the medical dictionary out, looked it up,
02:53 got a matching marker,
02:55 a matching marker where her heart was,
02:57 measured down like two or three ribs
03:01 and measured in between there,
03:02 and I just stood there and I went.
03:09 (thudding)
03:11 And then, and she came back like that.
03:15 - It was amazing.
03:16 Like, almost exactly like the film.
