Quotes3

  • Guy Noir: A lot of good people up there on the stage. A lot of them. I mean, I'm a man of the world like yourself. But these folks put their lives into this.
  • Axeman: Now they can put their lives into something else. That's the beauty of the world. There's always something to put your life into, isn't there? It's like the scripture tells us, you have to lose your life before you can find it.
  • Dangerous Woman: When I used to listen to them, it was like they were all my really good friends.
  • Axeman: But something else happened, right?
  • Dangerous Woman: Right.
  • Axeman: Well, I'm that something else.
  • Axeman: The plaster around the proscenium is beautiful. We should really be taping this.
  • Guy Noir: It's a live radio show.
  • Axeman: Videotape, for historical purposes.
