Go and gather up the known affiliates.
We're gonna build a village of idiots.
We gotta make sure this gets crazy.
"Getting out of hand" to me is just lazy.
Had our fill of tastless "pain et cirque".
Contorting dough into a shape won't work.

So nothing then?

I'm going to smash you into pieces.
Eat your tiny heart.
I don't understand why you look like

As long as you are at the other's throats...
