" I was still alive..........."

[–] growsie 17 years ago

As it says in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097240/quotes; "Hope they can keep me alive."

That's wrong. It really sounds like "Hopefully he'll keep me alive." Listen to it yourself. Am I the only one who hears this?

I also got "Hope they can keep me alive."

I just watched it again. He says: "I was still alive. Hope they can keep me alive."

the last bit of dialogue is,

"It's this *beep* life......you never know what's gonna happen next, that's why Nadine spiked herself with the easy way out....that's why Diane keeps on going like she does.
See.....most people don't know how they're gonna feel from one minute to the next....but,...a dope fiend has a pretty good idea, all you gotta do is look at the little labels on the little bottles.........you gotta know how to read the signs, that's what the hat on the bed was, which is why I'm not scared.....I paid my debt to the hat!.
The irony was *beep* brilliant, the chicken *beep* cops were giving me an escort to the fattest pharmcy in town!..........I was still alive.....I hope they can keep me alive."
