Analysis of State Of Shock
look, you don't have to be that way
just put your cigarette out on the ashtray
there's gasoline all over the carpeted floor
and i swear to god you won't make it to the door
you've obviously had too much to drink
and way too much time to think
we can talk about it
whatever it is that you doubted
look, we don't have that much time
i think you've lost your mind
there are drugs and needles all over the table
i think you are unstable
you're in a state of shock
how did you get to the safe?, it's locked
i'm only going to say this once
give me the gun
