“ | I should have come clean sooner! Because you see, when you kill a person, then after those few seconds are over, they're dead. I can't do the same thing to the same person again. But when you BOAST about it, you can BOAST as MANY times AS YOU WANT! And it gets funnier and funnier each time! I can confess about those murders all day! Squeezing the life out of Michael's body… ah, that's a moment I will enjoy forever. Ah…Reliving that feeling when you end a life… it's beautiful. It's glorious. AND IT'S SO FUNNY! (Fred: You never once thought about all the lives you ruined in the process?) I did. And I'm SO PROUD OF IT! Seeing those parents cry, argue, blame each other, leave each other, even take their own lives… HILARIOUS! It's PURE COMEDY! | „ |
