(Trane; Believe, have no fear! dolor. amor. Carne. Todos los nombres de la muerte pronunciados a la vez.)
(Miles; cigarrito, que John me caliente al público)

("Miles, vuelve que a Cannonball le dolía la cabeza y tienes que hacer el segundo solo").
(Jimmy; "soy el único de toda esta panda de yonquis que llegará vivo al 50 aniversario del Kind of Blue")
(Todos; "Soooooooo what")
